Troy - looks spectacular. Those FIA wheels look great. Is this one a keeper?

Thanks guys. Dan, I hope so! Gotta sell the Shelby GTH to make that happen. It's for sale but tough market for late model Shelby Mustangs. I'm pretty sure it would be tough to replace this ERA. It's everything I want in a Cobra and I improved it for me and my tastes/criteria as a keeper.

Troy,
Outstanding! The colors are so correct as is the exhaust. Very nice wheels.
Enjoy your beautiful ERA.

Troy,
I suspected you might have landed a "keeper".  She is definitely a beauty. As for the 12 months, that's less time than you'd wait for a new one, not to mention half the cost (ask me how I know!  ) As far as the mustang--maybe a bigger garage is in order? (or a lottery ticket?) 
Congrats! How 'bout a pic of the revised engine?
Evan

Troy, did this car come from a Connecticut owner originally? One just like this minus the intake was built by a guy somewhat local to me in Conn. about ~5 years ago.

Originally it went out to California. After that, I lost track. The stack system was added afterward, I think.

This is correct. I purchased it from the original owner. The entire engine and induction has been replaced since it left ERA.

Evan,
I had considered swapping out the EFI, but decided to keep it.
Paint is shiny, but it's 20+ years old and is starting to show some of it's age here and there which is fine with me. The phone takes nice photos, and the conditions were perfect since it's overcast - shows off the color and gloss well.

Yep! She's a keeper.
Love the intake, and more so, I enjoy hearing your excitement when reading your posts about this car.
I hope she serves you well!
Congrats.
Ps. I can't imagine this will be her last outdoor show either.
