Russ I owned a SPF fine car, fit, finish, build quality was great. But I had 52+K in it by the time it was finished...pricey
There is an older ERA here on CC still for sale I think, very nice and well thought out build from all accounts. 30k
Ogasman(Paul) has it for sale

Might be worth your checking out.
IRS is nice but don't discount the solid axle unless you plan on a lot of track time. A solid axle is a bit better if you do "hard" launches, easier on the drive train for sure...don't see to many IRS at the dragstrip
There are a lot of cars out there it is a buyers market right now and there are some good buys to be had.
A NWCC member from the Seattle area,Todd has IMO a great buy on a well fitted out replica---
Beautiful Custom Cobra
B&B is a nice solid car, a great kit. Might again be worth your time.
Good luck and Welcome!
