I waited a long time to get the right car, but I always knew that I wanted an ERA. There are a lot of great builders, but ERA was right for me. They seem to really nail the stance correctly, and it is very important that a car sits just right. ERAs have that low, fat menacing stance just like a real Cobra. They went to painstaking details to be dead-on accurate. Pete, the GM of ERA, had a real 427 for years, so that car was used for details, but they also did something else interesting. Since each car was handmade (English wheels, etc.) Pete sought out the best looking real Cobra he could find. When he found it, they used that car to get every angle, curve, and detail just like it.

I also wanted a Street 427...the way they would have come from the dealer in the 60's...no rollbar, no stripes, no side pipes, no speed jacks. If you have any questions about my car, you can PM me anytime.
