ERA #745 .. seen it?

[SSSammy]

sideways, I originally chose *no* roll bar when I had the street configuration. I recognized that that is a more dangerous choice. My background includes many thousands of miles riding two up on a Honda Gold Wing motorcycle. So I'm conditioned to dangerous activities. From that perspective, the Cobra is a bit (not much) safer ..

The other reason I chose no roll bar was the aesthetics of the solution ERA has for the rag top with a roll bar. And I wanted an original looking car. Most of the original street cars (majority of the 427's built) were no roll bar, as far as I can tell (someone will correct me, perhaps). Anyway .. I changed my order to the SC configuration .. cancelled the rag top and went with a tonneau .. and single roll bar. My wife will ride with me some, not most of the time, I suspect .. I do plan on getting on the track at Run N Gun and Tulsa for the fun events. Not trying to be a racer ..

The more experienced Cobra replica hobbists I have met seem to regard the single side roll bar as desirable from a resale standpoint. ERA's tend to be authentic looking cars. I remain a bit conflicted about it. I would probably choose the wide hoop with two legs as opposed to two separate single hoops. That's just what looks good to me. To each his/her own ..
