289's - ERA vs Unique

[luke-44]

My long awaited Cobra project took a major step forward today with the sale of my triple webered minilited TR6.

The car for me is definitely a 289 - I can't decide between a 289 FIA or street style, and I also am torn between Unique and ERA.

My heart says ERA for all the originality details, but my wallet says the completeness of the Unique Deluxe pallet kit means it is probably a good $5-7k less expensive than the ERA. I am kinda stretching to get into either - so the financial concern is real - rather than rule it out, basically an ERA would not be completed as soon I guess.

I will be doing as much of my own assembly as possible, so that aspect is not a major consideration - both are wihin my abilities.

Soooo, I guesss my questions are - am I right on my arithmetic comparisons? Anyone care to comment on resale/liquidity of market of one vs the other? Could the extra for the ERA be justified almost as an investment? (that's what I told wife)

Any other comments welcome.

Thanks, luke-44
