American 427 replica companies, thoughts?

[PaulDav]

Hi

I am still trawling the world of 427 replica kits and came across several seemingly good products out of the US

SuperPerformance (http://www.superformance.com/Default.aspx)
Kirkham Motors (http://www.kirkhammotorsports.com)
Backdraft Racing (http://www.backdraftracing.com/)
Factory 5 (https://www.factoryfive.com/)



Has anyone any experience in dealing with these companies / seen their kit in the flesh? Any thoughts?

Superformance and Kirham are available in the UK, Backdraft which is available in Germany and factory five do not seem to have UK distributors -

Superformance - http://www.shelbydaytonacobra.co.uk/
Kirkham - http://www.hawkcars.co.uk/hawk427/
Backdraft - http://www.backdraft-cobra.de/

Beautiful car, but i want to get my hands dirty

Thought it may be worth a call to see who made it and how they got it registered as the Daytona was on your original list. Going to have a look may also give you an idea of the kit quality.

Great idea. Seems to hold its value too.

The clues in the bit that says it's a Superformance factory built car like other Superformance cars is a continuation not a replica hence the registration as a Daytona.
