I just deleted the item number of an ERA GT40 on ebay. It was a no sale but had a by it now price of $72,000.00(I think). It really was a nice car!! Call Peter he might know the guy that was trying to sell it. It was red with full cross over exhaust, I think ERA put it together(turn key). I don't think you could build one for any less. Matt.

Car number 2027 will be for sale as soon as the Vintage Race Boss 302 that Walt Hane is building is ready. The GT-40 is Saphire Blue with white stripe, RT hand drive with Phil Schmitt wheels and Blue streaks. The motor is currently out for rebuilt. It is/and will be again a fairly stock Boss 302 block with G/W heads and webers. The car has working A/C. The car has about 4000 miles on it with about 80% being track miles, so the body is not perfect and has a few war wounds. We will be replacing the current windshield which cracked from track use.
If interested you can contact me at rallen@symons.com

MF: Thanks for the information. Thing happened faster than I thought they would. I've just committed to purchasing 2002, a very nice car. Power is modest, what with a 302, but it's realistic. Nice turnkey ERA . . . and I found it about 500 miles away.

Here's what the ERA GT40 looks like. Because I get cabin fever in the winter, I've cured the problem with an enclosed, heated car.

But my wife put her foot down. She said, "You're not selling the Cobra." That blew me away. And I thought she didn't like the wind messing up her hair, the noise and heat. Turns out all that stuff is part of the Cobra experience. There's nothing like a Cobra. My brother is even trying to get me to trade it for his 2002 Z06 Corvette, plus a significant amount of change. I took him for a ride in the Cobra, and that was two years ago.

Looks to be very nice car....Our car is not in as good a shape, its about 12 years old or so...with a lot of track miles.....Its amasing the motor lasted as long as it did before going "poof"
Hope you have fun....

Hi MF: Thanks for the comments. What's amazing about this car is it's ERA 2002, so the car has been pampered . . . only tracked one time. Power is a 302, but what is inside, I don't know. Hope to get the build sheet soon. But for now, I don't have to wait for the sun to go down before going for a ride.
