You could spend another $10K on the EM, terrific paint, body repair, etc. And STILL end up with spider issues shortly thereafter. One of these that makes ERA's so good is how the body is attached to the frame. Very little stress on the body itself. Spidering, cracking, virtually uhheard of even with the old ERA's. Older replica's that STILL look, drive, sound and feel great are your best indicator of the manufacture.

What I DO like about the EM. It's got 8,000 miles on it! When buying used I WANT a car with some miles on it, that tell's me a lot of "issues" have been worked out all ready. I DON'T want a used car with a mere 500 to 1500 miles on it, that car has not been driven enough to really sort it out. Might as well buy new and take your chances unless your saving a ton on the used one. A new Cobra, no matter who built it, IS going to have some issues.
