No affiliation.
Seems like a great deal. Has SB100. Someone in CA should snap it up now!

Two very nice cars. Thank you for the many quick replies. I am new to the site and am astonished at the wealth of available resources and information.

They are nice cars, but please don't buy one sight-unseen. I know some guys have had good luck in doing that, but I just don't recommend it. Especially if you're particularly tall/short/fat/long-legged, etc. Fitting in these cars is absolutely doable for all but the most physically challenged, but they have to be put together, or modified, with your body-shape in mind. I have sat in ERAs that were built for short guys and I swear I felt like I was sitting in one of the little clown cars at a circus. I had mine custom built for me and it fits me like a glove.

So that just leaves the average-physical body types who are mentally-challenged as potential ERA owners?

(that doesn't include ERAChas, tbk289 or RickLake or course).

Almost every Cobra owner I have ever met I would deem to be "mentally unbalanced." Whether that condition led to the decision to buy a Cobra in the first place is unclear.

MrMustang is selling a green one (but he is capable of painting it whatever color you want).

Bill's ERA is not a recent build and the OP has stated that he would prefer a recent ERA build, but Bill does have that Tunnelport 427 in his car.

Bill also likes his car painted British Racing green and is not likely to paint it any other color just to make a sale But yes, it does have a tunnelport equipped side oiler, something that no other cobra currently on the open market has. Clearly this buyer is not looking for my car which is why up until now I have not responded to this thread.
