ERA #389 Onto a New Home
1 Attachment(s)
It has been 4 days since my ERA left my garage onto its new home and still regret sinks in.
I had the car for 15 years and aside from the normal updating of things the car never gave me an ounce of trouble. It always made me smile.
I knew if there was ever a problem I could get an answer from ERA. I did not buy it from them but they treated me as if I did. I will need to put my deposit down on my next ERA soon.

I agree, I had ERA 626 for 17 years zero problems. I sold it to a friend. Im hoping my CSX is as nice as the ERA in terms of handling... That ERA car out of the box was spot on... a simple alignment at the local shop and it drove perfectly...

Jamie,
I was so surprised the car was on the market for as long as it was. Glad it's found a new home. Can't wait to see what your next one will be like.

I was surprised as well. Not for trying. I had around 20 inquiries from France that were hoping it was 30 years old. At 27 years old they could not import it.
All the US buyers wanted to be in at around $35K. :confused::eek:
When possible, I would be looking at an FIA. Saving my pennies and nickles again! :) |

Interesting what some US buyers wanted to pay. Quality is not inexpensive.

I recently sold my low mileage, pristine 2003 Lightning on AutoTrader. Lots of internet trolls and tire kickers show up out of no where. First question is either what is the lowest price you will take for it or an offer of about 1/2 price. Takes a while to wade though all of them to find a serious buyer.

Congratulations on the sale of your beautiful ERA. I think you will very much enjoy an FIA. I've had a number of ERA 427 cars and the FIA I most recently had was so much fun! They are all amazing cars. I think if I were be forced to choose, I enjoyed driving the FIA the most.

Place your order NOW, it takes years to get your car. Well worth the wait, but you have to plan WAY ahead!

Beautiful car, Wheatie. I know it was tough to let it go. Hopefully the new owner will have time to put some miles on it and enjoy it.
Let me know if you need help selecting options on the FIA. :)

The kit was delivered in late 1993 as a roller, although the wheels were supplied by the builder. |

"Completed" is usually legally defined as the date the car was first titled, although I think that some of our kits may been registered in the EU on the basis of the kit dates.
At any rate, as I said before, 389 didn't leave the factory until 1993 so, at a minimum won't be 30 years old for another two years. |
