Anyone sold an ERA lately?

Actually Sonoma, not Napa. It's the car Phil Cool built. I still have one bottle each of the two cases included in the deal! Coyote Crest
I don't want to sell it, but if push comes to shove.......

Even if I could get $65k I'd be losing money given all the playing, tinkering, tools, etc that I've put in it. However, I guess the fun I've had in it is priceless so that offsets the difference.

I was trying to figure out a way to buy this car from Phil before you bought it. On of the nicest I have seen. I still have a picture of it hanging in the garage. Can I ask what happened to the 1st engine and who built that one? Ed

...it's better, stronger, faster..... it's the 6 million dollar engine!

I has new pistons, cam, rocker arms, valves, intake, carb, distributor, oil pan, oil pump, flywheel, etc - but same block, crank, rods, heads (well one was replaced due to porting problems, but same Shelby head). It's a lot stronger than when you saw it, but looks about the same from the outside.

I sold off most of the parts where I could. I'll post a more recent pic of it in my gallery after I send this. Still a great looking car!
