    A different iteration of the GT40?

    I saw Kenny's J-19 Breadwagon at his house with automatic trans-axle. It sounds very nice and perfectly done. I love the TBird rear lights

    GT40 vs the Competition

    When ERA built my first GT40 had 15" wheels that limits the size of the brakes. The brakes were not power assisted and the engine was down in power (330ci). I ran at Road America and the Mustangs were faster and could go deep in the turns. My second ERA the engine was a 409 with 17" wheel...

    Auction: J12

    The red MK-IV is J-10. The driver was Peter B Portante (son of ERA Peter Portante). He did a good job driving it back to the trailer parking. The sound of the 427 on a GT 40 is totally different of what you hear on a Cobra due to barrel of snake exhaust. J-10 raced for two years in CanAm...

    Le mans classic 2018

    In France you pay the ticket to the policeman. They had a book in every language and the penalty. Also radar detectors are not legal. I am returning today from Italy and every year I get several tickets thru the mail since Hertz provides all my information. Lets see how many this year.

    J10

    Look at the "passenger" seat that does not have any padding and is smaller just to meet the 2 seater. I did not the photo that shows the luggage box and the tiny door to remove the spare tire without opening the rear clip

    Brake parts selection info

    ERA built me a GT in the 90's using Corvette brakes on 15" wheels. Like the originals it lacked in braking compared to mother cars with bigger brakes and power assisted. It also lacked in power with only 330ci small block. The 2nd ERA was built 10 years later with bigger brakes, 17" wheels...

    Legendary Motorcar

    I do not think is that easy. To watch Velocity over the Internet you need an account from your provider. Even free TV in England thru a VPN you need an account that ask your address in England. Is easy to try to download the shows if you can find the source.
