Engine Builders in New England?
I'm new to this Forum, and wandering if I should concentrate my efforts on buying a Turnkey Cobra, or if there are any local shops that can finish a Roller for me. I'm considering Unique, ERA, Superformance, but leaning heavily towards a Kirkham. I just don't have anywhere to work on the car.
Thanks in advance for your help! |
I know it's on Long Island, but Contact Nick at http://classicconceptsltd.com/default.aspx

Sheldon, ERA can deliver a kit, roller or turn key...any way you want it. Keep in mind the are somewhat local for you, and that means a lot. The car is second to none, but isn't cheap.

Thanks guys!
I appreciate the input. Prices and specs are all over the place, so it's always great to have some unbiased opinions.

Sheldon:
Might want to check with the MA DMV on their requirements for registering and inspection of kit cars/replicas and emissions certification/testing, which may or may not be different than registering a production vehicle. Also, the insurance Included should be the documentation and Bill of Sale needed, or not needed, for major drive train components in addition to the Cobra, etc., etc., |
Sheldon. You should DEFINITELY take a ride down to New Britain, Ct. - it's only a couple of hours from you - and visit Peter Portante and Bob Putnam (GM and Head Engineer respectively) at ERA. They build a lot of turnkeys and final price depends a lot on how crazy you want to get on the motor. I had Keith Craft build my 331 stroker motor and ship it to ERA for installation. If you don't go for the Kirkham - ERA is the way to go (my opinion -this is my second cobra). If you DO go for the Kirkham - congratulations - it is first and foremost a company with an impeccable reputation (as is ERA), and their aluminum bodies - and overall engineering, is first class. Kirkham has used quite a few Keith Craft motors (and Keith has a 427 Kirkham).

Sheldon,
We can discuss at the breakfast Sat 8th. We have a great variety of cars and a local KMS. (out of MA) Hold off on dropping a deposit until you are fully educated on the subject. If you can afford a KMS there "IS" nothing short of CSX better! Jeff |

If you are thinking about a Superformance, I was talking with Jimmy Klimshuk from S. Orleans. He specializes in power train installations for SPF's. His tel # 508-958-1810. The business name is Coastline Classics. He seems like a nice guy but I just met him about 2 months ago.
I live in Quincy if you want to go for a ride in my SPF :p :p |
