Vehicle Description
289 FIA Kirkham Cobra re-creation with a fully polished handcrafted
aluminum body. It features a Ford Racing 363/500hp stroker crate
engine with an Edelbrock air gap intake and a 750 cfm Quick Fuel
double-pumper carburetor. The engine is mated to a Tremec TKO600
5-speed manual transmission activated by a hydraulic clutch system
from Modern Driveline. This 289 FIA sports the Kirkham 4" tube
ladder chassis with billet aluminum control arms, adjustable
coilover shocks, independent rear suspension with CV joint axles,
aluminum posi-traction rear end, Wilwood disc brakes and billet
aluminum spindles with patented safety lockout pins integrated into
the hubs. The interior features Kirkham Gauges with LED
backlighting, billet aluminum pedals, billet seat tracks, a billet
shifter, wool carpet from England, a powder-coated dash and leather
seats. The gauges feature integrated turn signals on the
tachometer, and a speedometer with an integrated fuel gauge that
will also track top speed and quarter-mile times. The engine is
cooled by an aluminum radiator with a thermostatically controlled
electric fan. A Concept 1 serpentine pulley system with a power
master alternator, Edelbrock water pump and polished pulleys were
installed to complete the Ford Racing crate engine. Custom
stainless-steel headers and exhaust were fabricated and TIG-welded
by MP Fabrication out of Birmingham, AL. The stainless exhaust
system features V-band clamps and Spin Tech mufflers. Options from
Kirkham include billet aluminum driver's seat tracks, polished
body, polished stainless roll bar, passenger fresh air ventilation
system, stainless-steel foot box shields, gold-foil foot box
insulation, polished stainless-steel roll bar, powder-coated rear
bulkhead, powder-coated wheel wells, wheel well protective foam,
billet aluminum roll bar safety loop, stainless-steel steering
shafts and a 427 billet-aluminum-style coolant tank. This car was
professionally built with help from Kirkham Motorsports. It is
fully sorted out, road-tested and ready to be enjoyed.
