Bill,
Upon further review I believe you are 100% correct on this one. Based on today's setup.

ERA FIA for sale
I just posted my ERA2039. It's a great car for the street and track. Has all the good stuff and is well sorted.

You need bigger pictures in your ad, you also need far more details if you expect to get any type of positive response. But what would I know about selling Cobras

ERA FIA posting
I'm at my house in FL using my sister's computer and tried to pull pictures off my gallery. I'm not smart enough to make them bigger from here. When I get back to the cold and snow (end of the week) I will revise the pictures. What is missing from the posting (you did read it, right).

This does not tell enough to get people really interested in the car.
new 347 with Ford Motorsports block
Eagle Forged Crank and "H" beam Rods
Keith Black pistons
Edlebrock Performer RPM
Weber 48 IDA's
COMP hyd roller and kit
Accel / MSD Ignition
Avaid with oil cooler
Centerforce clutch
TKO with mid shifter
KO's and AVONs
Tonneau cover, top and side windows.
Read the following, reread it if you must, then and only then should you revise your listing:
"The first thing you have to do is come up with a set of "comps" on your car. This is much harder then it sounds (do not let yourself think that just because you saw one car sell for $40,000, and your car needs "just a little work" to make it look like that one, that you can get $35,000 for it), as each and every car is different from yours in one way shape or form. Next, you need to sit down and write up a very detailed description of the car, list the good and the bad, disclose everything about the car up front and you'll have less questions that need to be asked. List the interior condition, exterior condition, drivetrain, suspension, paint, rust, it's history if you know it, factory options, awards won, etc and so forth. After all of that is done, print it out and read it for continuity, if it reads choppy to you, and does not flow, then you need to rewrite it until it flows better. Next, find a well lit area and take lots of pictures as you can never have too many detail shots, (make sure to force the flash on every shot if need be) Every panel should have at least one shot to cover it, take shots of the interior, dash, seats, etc. Engine compartment shots from the front, then the side, trunk shots to show the detailing (or lack of detailing). List the full VIN, and how the car is titled. When you think you have everything listed, put yourself in the buyers position and ask any and all of the questions as if you were going to be buying the car. Again, write down the answers and incorporate anything you might have missed in to your original advertisement. When you have all of this information then, and only then should you post your "for sale" notice."
If you really want to sell, follow my instructions above.If not, ignore them and go on your merry way. Selling is all in the details, a lack of details and quality pictures and your car will get overlooked for another.

ERA2039 is awsome, perfect I might say.
If I were not in the middle of CSX2375R I would be all over it.
