There may be one out there that someone was willing to part with. -- you are starting from a very finite number of cars to start with, so do not be surprised if they dont come leaping out of the woodwork. --
keep an ear to the ground, keep on looking, you will find your car.

Good luck! They do pop up from time to time & they really are great cars.
Just out of curiosity, why aren't you considering purchasing NEW from ERA? I'm guessing it's the cost of building? Upside is having it exactly the way you want it.

The wait can be painful. In the end it is worth it, though. I saw a couple ERA cars as I was researching but there was always something I wanted different. Some of the upgrades or changes can be expensive & knowing everything is new is always good for "piece of mind". If I had found the perfect car, it would have been one thing. But I am glad now that I didn't go the used route. I have everything the way I want it.

Kurt,
I was in a similar situation as you guys ... looking for an ERA FIA and not having a lot of success. So in May of '09 I pulled the trigger and started the process with Peter and crew at ERA.
I wanted their 'street' car, no hood scoop, no oil cooler scoop, solid color (no stripes) and with a grille. They also did a few tweaks to make a bit more room for me to fit, made a custom roll bar set up and the list goes on from there. ERA is great to work with, and a lot of CC members both locally and on line have helped me along the way.
The wait is painful, but knew that going in and hopefully pretty soon, the car will be done 
So ... keep looking, they are out there and if it's close enough to what you are looking for, go for it. On the other hand, if you sit down and figure out exactly they way you would have a car built, seriously think about putting your name on the list ... either way you will wind up with a great car 
Best of luck ! |

Hey Kurt, Now's the time!! The perfect driving season is upon us!! I noticed your updates, I would think most FIA's would have the FIA wheels and not the Halibrands. But that's easy to change and some sets pop up from time to time here on CC. I would go for the inboard brakes personally. The out boards are nice BUT considerably more $$ AND from what others have said they don't ride as well as the in boards on the street. Now, for the track I think the outboards would be better because they have way more adjustable! Either way, an ERA is the way to go but I'm bias of course! Matt

Kurt,
Here is link to my build thread ... there are some photos posted there, along with some comments and suggestions from fellow CC members.
I hope to have more photos soon, as the car get's built out into a roller.
Enjoy!

Hey Kurt,
You know I really don't know who made the "FIA" wheels originally. Probably Halibrand but the experts here would know for sure. I guess most refer to "Halibrands" as the 427 style of wheel. Just as "Sunburst", "FIA", "Kidney Bean", are all different but probably made by the same people. The "427" wheels look equally as good and most people couldn't tell you the difference but it's always the ones that appreciate the "right stuff".
