Wow - I almost walked by this one! Man, if you can build two complete ERA slabsides for $97k you really need to get in that business. A nice ERA finished 427 roller out the door (painted, 6-pin KOs, big brakes, good tires, leather, ERA rear, sidepipes) and with a 427 SO and toploader dropped in is probably going to cost somewhere in the range above $80K. And a slabside kit is more expensive than the 427 kit.
If an ERA 'Slab with a basic small block can't be built for 50K then they are wildly overpriced too. 
Seriously, could I build them to SELL at that price? No. I'm talking about from the kit, not a roller, and doing all the work myself as I did with my FFR.

Everything in this hobby is overpriced. If you want a turnkey, everything in, all the candy, 427 car from ERA, you're knocking on six figures... and possibly just sailing on by.  |

Yeah - that's how I built my 427 Roadster and I don't think you can get there with a slabside. And I bought my kit just prior to a price increase in 2010 I think. Fitted with 6-pins, leather, top, correct gages, bumpers, shifter, etc I'm thinking $65K absolute minimum with owner supplied engine, transmission, body work, painting, wheels, tires and assembly. |
