Now the ERA FIA that sold on 9/1/2022 on BaT for $72,000, that seemed like a track car.

The problem with bring a trailer, distance to inspect the cars.
Everything looks great in pics, but I will never buy another car without putting my eyeballs on it. Flying to to the West coast to see ONE Cobra?
I would not have built a black car, as nice as the last few were in black.

I am willing to travel, but not that far for a car that is far from a color or options I would pick. Additionally, If the car is the color and setup I specked out with Peter, I will travel further. There is so many variants that have been built, everyone has a vision of their favorite. So there is a wide range of differences in evey build.

I believe there is an ERA on the East Coast, closer to me. If I am patient. Most of the collectable cars I have purchased have usually been word of mouth or forums such as this. That has worked best for specialty cars for me.
