I didn't give the chassis and suspension that much credit for originality when I was looking. You can't see it anyway and new technology on suspension is much better than the 40 year old tech. New IRS designs have better geometry and give me some of those big brakes! Just hide them behind some knock offs with billboards! The original style chassis is not as rigid as the new box steel frames with appropriate bracing. Engineers have proven this. I don't have an ERA but it would be the best glass car outside of the Shelby's.

I hope to post some pictures for you from the new Hurricane factory where they are working on the first 2 cars. They will be much closer to original in appearance the rest available under $50K.

Make a list of what "original" means to you and research your tail off. Call some of the forum members and ask questions. People will say anything on the net and you don't know what their experience is. They could be a 12 year old with a cobra poster in their room! Take this stuff with a grain of salt.
