I'm near completion on building an ERA 289FIA. No, no donor parts. All new stuff.

Your choices for 289FIA are ERA, Kirkham, Unique, and Shelby. Last I recall, Kirkham and Shelby charge a premium for their 289 FIA due to the low volume of the transverse leaf-spring chassis.

I went for the ERA myself. I get the "most exact" 289 FIA body along with a coil-spring suspension (no "buggy springs"). ERA has been outstanding for service. I saw an ERA 289 FIA that is at ERA and ready for paint that someone wants to sell right here on Club Cobra. Good chance to jump the line and get your car.

Where in the hell is Apple Valley?
