Default 289 FIA. Anyone know this car?

Anyone know this car? Came across the photo on Pinterest. I'm guessing it's a Superformance??? What a great look!

The picture is sort of skewed. Tough to get a good grasp on the mfg.

Cool look, guessing a re-bodied car or scratch?
Scoop is hand made....

Rear quarter, flare and door joint look much like a Unique. Front tires are out of scale.

It's certainly not a unique. Too many things don't match. I can't tell if the hood scoop is weird, or just the skew of the photo. There are certainly a lot of similarities to an ERA but, something tells me it's not. Maybe it's the front flares.
If it is a hand build, they went to a lot of trouble, just to make it look like a replica.

Shoulder harness anchorage do look like ERA - but I'm not sure how many other manufacturers might use similar anchorage.

Nice garage - never seen a wood paneled ceiling before.

My guess is it's an ERA with a modified hood scoop. There aren't that many 289 FIA replicas with cut-back doors to choose from.

I suspect ERA also - but only due to the seat harness anchorages. I installed 3 inch belts using the 2 inch anchorage. Look similar? I think I can almost make out the inset top bow receiver behind the seat also.

Nice looking car.

The flares are wrong and the roll bar is too low. Hood scoop is modified.
The windshield angle is the only thing right for an ERA. And anyone can lay theirs back.
Some money was spent on this thing because it has the Comp seats; maybe the whole thing is a modified ERA base. Those are ERA-style pipes.

Nice garage but I would clean it up some by removing garage door opener and replacing with one that goes on wall at main shaft. You could get rid of all stuff on ceiling. Nice cars btw.
