That is a nice car. Good luck on it! I too went the used route with my ERA. You cannot go wrong. Everything is available.
Your idea of checking the car out is a good one. I did the same.
Four jack stands and a thin hydraulic jack are a must.
Bob Putnam can inform you of the download area for the various manuals, FAQs and other documents.
When I got my ERA #375 I nutted and bolted everything underneatn and cleaned it all up and drained and replaced all fluids. I also then painted each bolt and thread with a dab of yellow paint which would show (if broken) that the nut had loosened since last torque or tighten. (aircraft trick). So far none of them have.
There are alot of grease fittings on the car, including universals.
I found a push pump to fill the Toploader and the rear differential a godsend in refilling them.
Make sure you contact Peter to inform him of your new owership of #541.
Any questions, just let me know. I will be glad to help.
