That's a real nice car - congratulations! Looking forward to the road test report.

Da Bunnies are negotiating with someone named Iain for another 289FIA "parts car". Negotiations are fierce, Da Bunnies have so far offered to paint his Fiero Red/White/Blue, plus a case of Tootsie Roll lollipops, and a 2007 16 foot Divvly open car trailer. Last I heard, Iain was holding his breath for a case of pretzel sticks and Da Bunnies are attempting to comply with the last of his demands

Jeff,
I'll be there all three days, track time all three days, no parade laps, then popular vote car show....Not sure if we will drive it down and back or trailer it down and back, that one is up to the wife as her back (and the 7+ hour trip one way) is the only limiting factor.

Congrats Bill! Now aren't you glad you waited for what you wanted? It is no longer a dream and you would have still been dreaming anyway. Looks real sweet!
I have seen your name around here in quite so many posts and I just thought you may be a car sales person or dealer. No real underlying reason other than just curious.

Nope, just a friendly hobbyist who is willing to offer assistance whenever he can.

Bill, maybe when you have the car delivered you could post a video, with good quality audio, of the car and not just photos. I'd really like to hear what that engine sounds like through the pipes.

That did nicely. Cobra sounds are a funny thing. You want them not too loud, but not too soft. That sounded just right.
Yup, video posted above. Thanks for the opportunity to continue the legacy of ERA2031......Maybe I'll have to start a blog with our own adventures . Already signed up for SAAC 36, 3 days of track time then the popular vote car show. Think I'll leave it nice and grimy from the track and show it the way it was meant to be
