Unique makes a very nice car, but it appears to me that their car started as a 427. The front fender flares on a 289 FIA are 'flatter" than a 427 flare - the Unique flares appear to be "cut-back" 427 flares. On early Unique FIA cars, the radius to the rear flares doesn't look right - they made an improvement to that several years ago.

The trunk dimples on the Unique look too sharp to me. It could be argued that many of these details could even vary in original Cobras - but, for me, after studying Cobras for 40 years, the ERA looks "just right" to me.

Send me an e-mail, and I will send you some picture comparisons between the Unique and ERA FIA cars.

The Weavers build a very nice car, and are running a first-class operation. They also have a very good reputation for Customer service, and a very loyal customer base. You couldn't go wrong with one of their cars.

regards,

Jeff Burgy
