Old member, just bought Dan Kirsch's ERA
I have been a member since 2002, but always just banged around as an FE guy and after USAF retirement, a restoration and performance engine builder
I picked up a very nice Cobra yesterday, this will be a project for me. It's an ERA Cobra replica with a (temporarily) broken 496 Genesis, Stage 3 heads, Tunnel Wedge and lots of go-fast goodies. FE Forum and Club Cobra guys may recognize this as the late Dan Kirsch's car.
Alicia (Dan's daughter) and her husband Kevin kept it after his passing but allowed me to be the next caretaker. My plan for the engine is pending right now, but thinking a very period-correct original looking repair/build, lot's of detailing and some cosmetics to make it functional and pretty. I'll document the tear down when it gets to the front of the line.
If anyone remembers Dan's screen name for a search or if you know history of the car, please share! I have a lot of documentation, but the more the better, thanks!
Happy to upload photos to the gallery as well but can't figure it out!
