It's an ERA. An early one.

Not sure this is a selling point??

The Tires are Original from 1984 ! Yes they are Original so you don't have to worry that it is on it's 5th set of tires because they were burning them off !

No - no connection with LA. ERA started cranking 427 roadsters in 1980. Bodies and frames were fabricated in-house. No. 83 would reasonably fall about 1984. Currently they are at somewhere slightly over #900.

Although ERA has made revisions and improvements to their cars over the years there are still many features similar to my #782 car - rear independent Jag suspension, custom designed front suspension, rectangular tube frame with X-brace front suspension support, and the interior is strictly ERA with floor mounted pedals, door pockets, street dash, etc. Did you notice the one picture with ERA molded into the hood opening fiberglass?
