Pulled the trigger today
Just sent my $5K deposit to ERA for a Slabside.
Looks like one year out before I get it; I can wait.

Yes, but anyone can make a poor decision quickly.  Waiting for a custom, hand built to your specifications, ERA car is difficult, but it will be the best car-related-decision you will ever make.  |

In the "non-aluminum Cobra body" category, yes.
Congrats on the new purchase Dacobb. |

That seems pretty fast to me--I started contemplating building an ERA in 1999!  |

Yes, I suppose if you can still fog a mirror then it's not too late to get on the list. I first looked at swinging a Contemporary purchase back in 1984, but just couldn't quite pull the trigger. In hindsight, I probably didn't have enough dough to really do it right anyway. |

Yeah, in '99 I thought I could finish the kit for $45k all-in. Now that I'm further into the process, I realize I needed to add at least $25k to that number at that time, which I definitely didn't have. |

Me too. Not to be outdone - I got a brochure from ERA in 1980 and studied up on them and finally placed my deposit in 2009. it was a long term plan. |

I witnessed my first Cobra in action in 1968 and never forgot about it. It took a visit to the Shelby Heritage Center in Las Vegas in February 2014 to resurrect latent memories and get the fire going again. I joined CC after returning from Lost Wages and 4 months later I became an owner.

Welcome to the ERA family. My #375 has been very dependable and enjoyable over the many years I have owned her.

Phil,
How far are you from Lexington, Ohio? I should be there June 22-24 for the Vintage Grand Prix of Ohio. Would be nice to see your car. When I had my ERA, it was number 717, they were probably about the same age.
Jim
