Car of the Month
1966 Ford Shelby 427 SC Cobra Kirkham Recreation
Kirkham Motorsports’ mission to build the finest 427 SC Cobra recreations in the world formulated in 1994. David Kirkham had been restoring the 427 Shelby Cobra CSX3104 when his relative bought and imported to the U.S. a Polish fighter jet. The jet bounced inside the shipping container, severely denting its nose, so David was called to fix it; during inspection, he realized the construction was strikingly like that of the CSX3104. Inspired, Kirkham found the plane’s manufacturer and within a week was on a plane to Warsaw with an English-Polish dictionary, a toy model of a Cobra, and a dream.
