I have up for sale my ERA 289 FIA Cobra replica. The car is currently registered in Arkansas as a 1965 Cobra so title transfer should be no issue. With only 3600 miles logged, this particular 289 replica is stunning in appearance and is one of the best built ERA replicas available for purchase. It is equipped with a 351W engine (see specs in my eBay add) and a complete MSD ignition system as well as MSD's new Atomic EFI system. The fuel injection provides crisp throttle response along with excellent--and very manageable--low and mid-range torque. With the EFI system installed, HP is now estimated to be in the 400 range with torque at a conservative 430. Power is transferred to an IRS LSD Jaguar rear end via a Tremec TKO 600 5-speeed transmission with .82 OD. Helping keep it all under control are Spax shocks with Eibach springs, front and rear sway bars and four-wheel disk brakes. The car drives and handles as well as it looks.
This car was built to high standards and was designed to perform well while providing worry-free reliability combined with excellent street manners. It’s an exceptional driver in its own right with an uncompromising balance of power, performance and drivability.
The following videos were shot on the evening of Saturday, August 4th, 2012. In short, they are pre-drive, drive and post-drive videos. This was the first start and drive after a fifteen-day storage period.
