Default ERA . . .. got it . .

ERA
ERA Cobra replicas were very high quality kits that set the standards for the industry. They were more detailed and authentic than most Cobra replicas, which resulted in a higher price than most of their competitors. Their Cobra chassis were made from rectangular tube with X-bracing for strength. The front end used fabricated arms with modified Camaro spindles and coil-over shocks. A Jaguar IRS was used in back. ERA replicated the 427 S /C and 289 FIA/USRRC racing Cobras. This New Britain, Connecticut Company later added similarly authentic clones of the Ford GT -40 Mk. I and Mk. II. The chassis were very detailed, with a stainless steel monocoque and fabricated suspension. The Mk. I used a 302" Ford, while the Mk. II had a 427 driving through a Z-F transaxle. It had cast-alloy hub carriers, coil-over shocks and wishbone ~ rear suspension. The kit sold for $49,900 in 1998. In 1998 ERA bought a Corvette Grand Sport replica project from D & D Manufacturing.
