This post is to thank all of you that have been complimentary and supportive to my ERA. It's a two-plus decade labor of love,
r & d and improvement to ERA's bottom line.
It was trailered away this afternoon by a very excited and happy buyer and his two 'tech support' guys. Their comment to each other was "It's everything he said it was".
They were mildly shocked to see date-of-change labels on oil filter and brake reservoirs, paint stripes on bolts and the documentation, spare parts and spec data I presented. Anal does as anal is.
Much of the improvements are a result of the tricks I learned from pro and amateur alike here on CC and FE Forum-and thanks to all those I learned from, laughed with and fought with. (youze know who youze is.)
A special note of thanks to Curt Scott at Cobra Country. Curt's hard work and invaluable advice produced the first (and subsequent) buyer in forty-five minutes after the ad went live on his site. Because of arrangements to view the car in a week, the ad remained live for eight days. In that time a total of ten interested parties awaited the refusal of the first so that they might view the car. Today that buyer came with ready money and trailer and we consummated a very good deal for both parties.
Any sellers of cars, I STRONGLY recommend you write a 'no-BS' ad, full of fact with the best quality pics you can supply Curt and he will surely get your car sold.
It's well worth the price.
So thanks to all that cared and I'll still be around to pummel.

You saved for it, you bought it, you built it, you ripped it apart, you rebuilt it, you cared for it and you even let it pee on your floor. You raced it, you showed it, you cussed it and you loved it. And you were adjusting and polishing on it right up to the minute it was loaded to go. Based on what you have told me I don't think you could ask for much more from car. Sucks to see it go; I only hope my Cobra ownership experience brings me HALF as much enjoyment has that car brought you.

A+ amigo.

My sentiments exactly
I am at long last at the beginning of my Cobra experience and wish you all the best in your next adventure.
Thanks Tim. I wish you as many happy hours as I've had in two-plus decades of ERA madness.
I wish that for you and my new, very fine friend who now owns the car.

Hey Charles .... sorry to see you sold your ERA , but I guess you felt it was time . Really enjoyed seeing some of the neat things you came up with over the years .... hope you still drop in here every now and then .
Good luck with whatever new venture you go with .
Many thanks Bob for the kind words and well-wishes. I had fun and learned a lot. It was literally, a great ride.
The gentleman that bought it has insisted on my continued input on the welfare of the car. He's a great guy and he and his wife are anxious to enjoy it fully. I'm very lucky he found me.
I'll be here-there's still more I can learn or share.
Always a suprise when such a recognized CC contributor sells and moves on. I've enjoyed your input and contributions. Keep an eye on 2124 and keep me straight, Chas.
