"Right hand drive
Gurney Eagle heads w/ Webers
SafirGT Spares bellhousing and twin plate clutch setup
ZF gearbox/transaxle
BRM 15x10 and 15x14 mag wheels
Sierria front brakes
front and rear flares to accomodate Dunlop race tires
AC
roll cage
late style door handles
custom oil cooler and duct work by Ted
and more..."

All this to be pushed up and down a trailer. You forgot to show the key to wind it up so you do not have to push.

It looks great I can not wait to hear it starting up with the webers not working and spitting sound

I have ERA 2075 with 17" Gulf type wheels and it has 13" power assisted brakes. It stops in a dime. The engine is 409 small block with good american 4V holley that works perfect.

So, where did you decide to hide the emergency gas can?
GT's are neat, so much fun that I fell asleep in a Mk II once.

Jeez, my first post in so many years, and it's just to spread the love to you Jimmy

Jose:

I understand from our mutual Machiavellian friend in New Britski that you are quoted as describing 2077 as "Too dark; black wheels, just like an attorney's heart. He needs to paint those wheels orange." Well, I will admit that I sought to differentiate 2077 from your 2075 Puerto Rican bling mobile painted powder bird-blue and orange. Why, just add air-ride and you can make it dance... Thank goodness the good folks at ERA refused your request for a velvet interior and dash DVD.

Cheeks:

Glad to know you're still among the living! ...and thanks, it's nice to have a perspective other than that of our Puerto Rican friend. I'm sure that I will maintain my record of running out of gas in every ERA that I have owned... how else to determine the accuracy of the "Putnam senders." ...and my recollection of finding you at dawn asleep in the GT MKII was the group's consensus that you had been doing a lot more in the GT than merely sleeping. ...indulging in some sort of primitive rite of self flagellation, perhaps.

I somehow feel being drawn in between Jim and Jose
