Kirkham 474 is an awesome car with its polished /brushed aluminum body and lightening fast Keith Craft 482 aluminum fuel injected motor . It is loaded with only the best that Keith Craft builds. The Kirkham body is polished to a mirror finish and is equipped very nicely . Since it has less than 1000 miles and brand new Avon tires the beautiful serpent is ready for anything. Amongst the Cobra community, there’s little debate about the fact that the Kirkham is as close to an original Cobra that you can get without spending millions. One can argue that the Kirkhams took a good thing and even made it better with suspension improvements and other upgrades to make it driver friendly.
