Its been several years since i saw the the SPF and ERA. Its a matter of personal taste. This is a good way to start a flame war over who's car is better. One thing i recall on the the SPF is the cable shifter vs Linkage on the ERA. Overall finish work on the ERA was more to my taste in areas under the tail and hood.
I first saw the SPF 40 at Lime Rock. The dealer was being a real pain in the butt. The car just didn't impress me, Again my personal taste. This was one of the first cars. This is not going to settled on the forum. You have to do you own research. I wouldn't buy any car i didn't see in person to verify it fit my personal needs. Availablity, price and whether you want a turnkey vs a kit should be tops on your list of priorities
Good luck
LLoyd

With respect to the brackets for mounting the AC and alternator on the Boss block/Cleveland Head motor, Ted at ERA fabricated up the necessary parts. ERA is able to do almost anything (within reason)... it's all just a matter of how thick your check book is.

For those of you with the ERA gulf flared cars, did you also get the wider front clip? I know ERA offers this, but I don't think SPF does.

I've got the wider front as well as "1075" rear. I'm using 10" x 15" wide front wheels and 14" x 15" rears.
