Their rollers I've "seen" have been in the upper half of $70,000 depending on factory options #like a top, door pockets, under car exhaust, etc.#.
I see FIA replicas for sale from time to time on Cobra Country but no slab side replicas. Why is that - lack of demand or do owners just keep them? I wonder how many ERA is making? Want to buy an ERA slab but retirement looms so first I'd like some clue as to potential depreciation.

Yes,
The people who purchase "slabsides" #still dislike that term but now almost generic like "Kleenex"# tend to be long term aspiration buyers as opposed to many 427 buyers who discover that the car is not what they expected, it is a short term toy that is sold to move on to the next thrill, etc. The buyers we have dealt with knew what the were getting and what they wanted.
You can acquire a complete Superformance MK II 289 with a nice engine for less than 90K built out by a shop that has experience in doing so #do not discount "know-how" in a build out. Some shops have no idea of what it takes to PROPERLY install and fettle the chassis so they bolt 'er up and let 'er go!#
I would suggest that depreciation will be minimal as the supply of ready-to drive cars is small so the market is never flooded with resale units.
We have this you can drive away....
