ERA or Superperformance 427 Thoughts and Observations

[rohach30]

Welcome Learjockey1, My name is Mike Rohach, I own ERA 760. This is my second cobra build. ERA 591 was the first venture I made into the componant build hobby. Much like you, I spent a great deal of time pondering the purchase. I can honestly say that there is a huge range of cost and quality differences out there. First, research every maunufacterer you can find,visit their production facilty if at all possible, compare built in quality, fit and finish, and over all value for the money. Decide what you are willing to spend. Then decide how long you are willing to wait. As far as comparisons go, both vehicles retain the original 60's vibe while transmitting new tech performance. The major differance would be attention to detail. ERA produces a very precisely detailed replica with extreme attention to fit and finish. SPF cars are well built but they truely lack the period correct detail. SPF does however market their product much better. After all that is said and done, you should most likely find yourself in an ERA. Now, if you are not interested in waiting 18 months for a factory prepped and painted car. I might be able to help you out. I am selling ERA 760 to make room for my next project(CAV gt40 coming in Dec.). I am not happy about having to sell, but I know that a divorce would be the result of keeping both. I can give you some insight on many of the different choices out there and hopefully point you in the right direction.
