[Tigers] One of a kind Cobra

[drmoonstone at aol.com]

In regards to Cobra bodies from the old mans company there were three 
choices in the kits and roller kits.

1. The Kirkham hand made body  (no longer available through Shelby)
2. A stamped aluminum body made in Poland
3. The fiberglass body that is made at the prison just north of the 
L.V.

All of course cost different amounts. With the Kirkham body being hand 
made it comes closer to the "real" thing. It is interesting that when 
you get a group of Cobra owners together they argue about color, body 
contours and the like. The fact is that every Cobra was different, 
being hand made. The color was mixed new each week and by eye, so in a 
manner of speaking no blue is right. This information comes from the 
man in charge of the Shelby continuation line. I got to spend an 
evening in the L.V. plant after hours and was even told to call Bob the 
next time we came back to L.V. so we could take one of the Series One 
cars out for the day.
