Kirkham Cobra 427

Kirkham Cobra, Bué near Sancerre 2017.

Kirkham Motorsports, North Provo, Utah, USA.  With their beautiful aluminium bodies these Cobra replicas are amongst the most desirable in the World.  The aluminium bodies are actually made in Poland in an old MiG fighter jet factory whilst the rest of the car is built in Utah.  Founded by David Kirkham the company stared in 1994.  Since then they have built over 800 replica 427s and 289s. The most popular are the big block Shelby American Ford V8 powered cars which make a magnificent sound.  Very desirable replicas of the sixties Shelby Cobra. They supply the cars either with original or uprated suspension and brakes.  Saw this one in France and I think the owner said it had a 550hp engine but they go up to 650hp.
