I also compared the spec sheets, photos, and completed cars (in person though rarely side by side) of both the Unique and ERA 289FIA cars prior to ordering. I chose the ERA because I thought it appeared to be closer to the originals and I thought that the ERA's looked to be higher quality, build and material-wise. I also liked the options offered by ERA for their cars. In the end you have to choose what you will be satisfied with not what everybodyelse likes so check them out in person!

If you're considering the Shelby 4XXX series and you're after originality, check their specs carefully. When I compared the spec sheets for the 1960's originals with those put out for the 4XXX and the new 289 series cars, it appeared that the new Shelby units have wider wheel wells (and possibly the body also) than the originals.
You're killin' me! --Now I've got to move up to the Kirkham?! Jane--stop this krazy thing! Sheesh!

Somebody shoot me!

I hope I really like the Unique 427SC when I visit the factory next month!

I DO thoroughly like the Unique comp car. Maybe that'll be what I wind up with.
