$150,000 ERA on eBAY - A Joke???
Has anybody seen the ERA 427 listed on eBAY by "National Vehicle Marketing"
for $150,000?????? I was wondering if they were serious or if they were smokin' something they shouldn't be smokin'. Authentic 4000 and 6000 series Shelby's are having trouble selling for $100,000, so I wondered what these guys were thinking (or smoking) ??????

You mean this one?

It's no reserve and the bidding starts at $75,000. So anyone who bids $75,000, will in all likelihood buy it. |

an "aggresive buy it now price of $125,000". Sales people can be ridiculous...
Good luck.

It's a steal at either of those two prices. But for the fact that I'm a 427 man I couldn't get my checkbook out fast enough.  |

"I really don't want to sell it, but need showroom space for a new 1959 Jaguar XK150S!"
Very nice car, but the unadulterated sales hype is off-putting to me. Good luck getting $100,000+ for it.

I really love my car a bunch but holy schnikes that a lot of money! If I had that to spend I wouldn't be looking at that, I would be buying Allen English's RCR GT40 AND have money to throw at it to boot! If this guy sells this car for that, I need to sell mine to the same guy! I mean he needs a daily driver as to not mess this one up, right! I wonder what a Kirkham goes for compared to ERA (in this guys eyes?)??

I was thinking along the same lines. A very well thought out build and finished product. Just not a realistic price point. If anyone selling a car like that thinks it's worth it, then take it to Meccum or R&S or BJ and let the market make the call.
But the late 50's XKs are really gaining ground for investors, so I can understand why he is motivated to move to that (versus owning a replica that will, at best, go absolutely no where). |

+1
I like an ERA just like the next person, but we could have had a aluminum 289 Kirkham two weeks ago for $60K. That was a "steal."
The seller has it priced to sit. |

A far cry from the owners other automotive interests 
Bill S.
PS: yes, they are talking about the same owner as the ERA listed on Ebay

It's a no reserve auction, so who know what the final price may be. Could be a bargain for someone.

Yea, no reserve but the starting bid is fixed at 75k. Like someone said earlier in the thread, the first person to bid 75k will win.

No, the one I'm referring to is at the top of the list with a BUY IT NOW price of $149,900. It's dark blue with white stripes.

So, when did ERA move to "New Bridge, CT"? 
I love my ERA, and to me, it's priceless, but, these guys
are obviously smokin' some really good stuff....
