I agree with much that has been said here already. First, ERA is an excellent choice. Their quality is excellent; everything they do is first class. Second, your final cost will most likely be much closer to $90k. I did everything myself on a similar 427 S/C except build the engine and paint the car and exceeded $75k before it was done. Finally, I am sure you can save a lot of money by finding a completed car for sale in the same timeframe you discussed. I think many of the things you have mentioned as important can be retrofitted or swapped out on a completed car.

In my experience is is important to sit down with Peter with a full list of all of the things you want, or think you want, and discuss each point in detail. They can do practically anything, but they don't always offer it if you don't ask.

Best wishes on your adventure, no matter what you decide. Building and owning a Cobra is a truly unforgettable experience.

Still, if you are set on building, be sure
