If you are thinking about building a Mark II similar to your step-father's, then I would go the Superformance route given your age and health concerns. ERA has a long wait list and it would take a lot of time and effort to get it put together. Mark IV, Rick Muck, is a Superformance dealer on this site and has a very good reputation. I would not hesitate to contact him.

I am thinking that is where you are going with this thread, by asking that question. Correct me if I am wrong.

Good Luck.

Thank you for your recommendations.

I am not in any physical condition to build a car in my garage, I have considered SPF but lack the finances to buy a completely finished car. I would like to reproduce Paul's car exactly or at least the closest as possible. I have a January 3, 1963 289 engine complete, not Hipo, but close to the Cunningham Cobra CSX2049 vintage engine. It could be rebuilt to reflect a period Hipo competition engine.

These are just simple thoughts and most likely will never come to pass, but an old man still has dreams. If I luck out and come into some money I would do it in an instant, I would have an exact reproduction of CSX2049.
