Default Any ERA Slabside 289/302 Cars Available?

I have been considering ordering a Slabside 289/302 style Cobra. ERA is a great choice, but I would also consider a CSX 8000 car. Does anyone know of any cars that are available? I am not sure I want to go through the ordering process. Thanks,

Rich

I don't believe any builder approaches the fidelity and attention to detail David gives to finishing a Kirkham:

Dynamic Auto West Serving Redwood City, CA, New, Used Cars - David Wagner's Built 289's

True statement however ERA vs Wagner car cost is large..
ERA probably 50-60k Wagner >115k. Granted there is a huge difference in authenticity.

Guess you get what you pay for.....

But he is also considering a CSX8000 car. Would a finished CSX8000 go for similar money to the Wagner car?

Mine is indeed for sale
http://www.clubcobra.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=4456&cat=2

But it is not 289/302 powered as the OP is apparently looking for.

The OP is also looking for a slabside, not an FIA.

ERA has only made a few to date.......

CSX8000 car would be glass and in the 75K range. They too are low volume...

Can try Panel Craft as Joe can make one. Still will be $75+ when done.

Wow - that looks pretty impressive. Pretty true to the originals in chassis and suspension. I wonder what those are going to sell for?
