If you want to re-live the 80's, see if you can get a copy of Motor Trend January 1983. They test drive the ERA, Contemporary, and Butler (formerly Arntz, heavy and Bowtie motor). I am biased towards the Contemporary because the body complete with floors and tunnel can be lifted off the frame and I like the 4" tube frame and Jag suspension both front and rear. They weren't managed as well as ERA and not as customer friendly, so you can't just call them up and order, but for much of the stuff parts is parts!
