He's home from school for Christmas and I was hoping to take him somewhere to see an ERA car and get some pointers from someone in the area. So, if anyone within a couple hours of Philly likes to show off their car, I'd love to come visit.

While I'm writing, one pretty basic question about the ERA body - haven't found too much on this in the posts I've read so far. As far as body work required to get it ready for paint, the Factory Five cars require a lot, Antique and Collectible (with gelcoat option) require very little or none...I believe the ERA is somewhere in between but closer to the Antique and Collectible?

Thanks again.

I've owned ERA, Contemporary,Unique, SPF, and FFR, they all have their pluses and minuses. The first thing you need to figure out is your budget, for without one in mind, you may be looking at items your checkbook cannot afford. After that it is a matter of your skill set and your ultimate end use.

PS: There is a beautiful 427 Tunnelport powered BRG 427SC ERA in Coatsville,might be able to hook you up with it's over worked owner (no it is not for sale) if you want to see the difference between the two body styles.
