I am in the market . . .

FWIW, the blue car is really nice. But I think that single stripe hurts its resale ability and that might be why it has to be marked down so much. Just a thought.

I would agree, but it does have real magnesium Halibrand wheels.

Marked down? I've been watching this car for a while, have been thinking about it as a stablemate to 707. I agree that its one significant... well, "flaw" is too strong a word, maybe "blemish" is better... one significant issue is the oddball stripe. That is fixable, though.

But it has one of the highest prices on an ERA I've seen in two years and if I'm not mistaken, the price was raised slightly in the repost of the Cobra Country ad. I've exchanged some chat with the owner and he's firm in price, too. Very nice car, but I wouldn't expect it to sell at that price for at least a year. If then.

Both 675 and 760 are great examples of ERA 427 cars ... I like them both.

The stripe on 760 does seem unusual, not sure what the intent was. Was a stripe of this type used 'back in the day'. The other thing that caught my eye on 760 is the paint, it seems a bit 'bright' for Guardsman blue, maybe it's the lighting or the camera (or me ) ?

Well . . . today I made the very dicey early morning drive out of Dallas (snow, ice) to spend two hours with Keith Craft in Arkadelphia, Arkansas looking at a new SPF that he has for sale. Keith gave me the full tour of his very cool shop, charmed my socks off. He is transparently honest, extraordinarily competent, great guy to deal with. The SPF is beautiful. (OK, maybe not an ERA, but a great car.) It has a small block 427 that Dyno tested at 580 hp and 590 torque. I bought that bad boy on the spot and am now turning to new owner stuff, like plates, title, registration, insurance, etc. I am a very happy camper. I hope I can meet several of you, and thank all of you for the great information and advice.

Congratulations Dallas!! Great car and excellent motor. The Superformance is a very very good cobra replica, and Keith Craft has a superb reputation. My 331 Stroker was built by Keith Craft - and I was able to ask for special details - certain pistons etc that I wanted - no problem - included. The Superformance is an excellent car, very well built, and there are owners who have used them as a daily driver + track time, and have put almost 100,000 miles on them (changing motors on occasion). Congratulations - enjoy the heck out of it. You bought a VERY NICE package.
