Re: E.R.A. GT40 Mk 1 To sell this car(I need the shop space) I am going to offer a significant price reduction to $93,500. There is over $110,00 in parts plus 2 years labor. You won't ever see another car of this quality for this price. This is a special car.

E.R.A. GT40 Mk 1 'Gulf pattern' Charcoal Gray/Guards Red secondary GT40 Mk1 replica, manufactured by acclaimed ERA [Era Replica Automobiles] of New Britain, Connecticut, U.S.A. ERA's entry in the GT40 reproduction sweepstakes has long been [since the 1980s] the most highly engineered...

What is the cost of a Superperformance Mark 1 and the wait time?

Well I have finished this project and ready for a new adventure. Enclosed are couple photos of the GT 40. I'm going to be taking some better photos next week and will be placing it on the market. My previous car was a 427 Cobra and Since my wife has had two back fusions it is difficult her for a...

There are several brackets made like a C that are glassed to the body and a nut rivit on the top. This is the only photo I have of this. You can see where the aluminum shield screws into the nut rivit.

This is not Jim Holdens car. It is Jim Fletcher's build

Chuck, thanks for your question. Everything seems to be close in these cars. There is very little extra room anywhere. How we mitigate the problems is the fun part of the build. Two things control the heat factor. Number one is the ceramic coating on the pipes. Secondly is the heat shield that...

Here is a better photo of the bracket.

Neville, thank you for your kind comments. I did not make the mufflers. I bought this item from Stainless Works item number ST252425P. They have a 2 1/2 inch inlet, 3 1/2 inch body and 24 inches long. Enclosed are a couple of photos of how I made the brackets to keep them stabilized. This was...

Bill, thank you for your observations. I believe the previous photos presents an optical illusion that the fuel line is closer to the pipe then it is. There is at least 1 inch between the line and pipe. Two other factors which will help reduce the fuel boiling are the headers are ceramic coated...

It has become more and more difficult to produce a top-quality product at a reasonable price. I really enjoy the fabrication and putting together cars. It has been a real pleasure to build the ERA car. All the pieces fit like it should and no shortcuts have been taken. Truly the best of the...

After getting the engine in I embarked on the exhaust system. I wanted it to be a piece of art rather than pipes going in different directions. Since I couldn't find anybody to do it the way I wanted I decided to do it myself. After I brushed up on my tig welding I started cutting up and welding...

After reading a post the other day that stated there were no complete ERA build threads I thought I should take the time and complete mine. At my last post I was just starting to put in the engine. There is a photo of the engine in without the transaxle.

ERA makes a very well made and accurate replica.
