Because the 1965 Shelby 427 S / C Cobra from Kirkham Motorsports has a shell made out of it hand-stamped bronze. Instead of the otherwise used lightweight aluminum with a paint finish according to customer requirements, something else has been decided here. We already have vehicles from Kirkham brushed aluminum and Copper seen, but it should seem like a surface Bronze be. The CSX 4600 chassis was shaped by hand as always. And the result is extremely eye-catching. The vehicle was built with incredible attention to detail and forms the legendary 427 S / C Cobra perfect after.
