Bill, Congratulations on selling your ERA. I hope it found a good home. It was one of the best. All the best on securing the new car.

Not only did it find a nice home, but one close enough that I can visit it  . Less than 35 miles away....New owner is here on CC and will chime in when he feels like it I'm sure. As for the new car, the hunt is half the fun these days. I really want an FIA, but the 427SC Contemporary that fell into my lap (it is chasing me, I am not chasing it) is tempting..

Bill
Are you looking for a project or just a runner?

I could go either or, why do you know of a Contemporary 289FIA that needs work? I remember long ago talking with someone in NY with one that was pretty beat up, but he wanted top dollar for it at the time even though it needed a frame up restoration/rebuild.

289 fia
Hey Bill, I think Nick at Acton Custom is gonna have a alum bodied FIA with original style 3" chassis with leaf spring susp available very soon. A lot like what Fox- John & 1985CCX- Jeff are working on right now. It may be worth the time to call him and ask for a few details.
I would like to start a alum FIA after my 427 is painted.
good luck, karl

Out of my price range right now and I know it. I spoke to Nick on another car that the owner has been chasing me to buy. I've got a little time before I need to make a decision.......Seeing what else I can find in the next week or two........

Bill, You've been there, done that. Hold out for something different. I have seen some decent FIA's out there.

New to this, but as others have said in the past, I've been hiding in the weeds for years and was pleased to acquire Bill's cobra from him. He was a good guy to deal with and I love the car. As I'ved told my kids, your cars should make you smile when you see them, even if you are not going out with them at that monment. I'm looking forward to years of smiles.
