ERA has the MK-II rear clip and front clip made 16 years ago. The ERA-MK-II ran out of gas in the highway at the SAAC at Portland in 1992. They did a blue and white (Shelby's Ken Miles winning car that ended 2nd) in the early 90's. It was cheaper for Ford to request ERA for 3 complete MK-II...
Enclose is a picture of my ERA GT 2075 RHD. You can see Teddy (he fabricated the car) in the back and his very tall (compared to the door behind). He fits in the car This is my second GT from ERA. The car was built with the experience of the first GT. This car has big brakes and 17" BRM...
I saw at Lime Rock or Road America (maybe it was at the SAAC meeting) a big WalMart rig with 1075, Daytona, Another GT40, Boss 302 TranAm and several other cars. I think that 1075 was purchased by his late father.
Next time buy the ERA GT kit and the latches are included. I always hear stories that Peter was asking a lot of money for the latches but never knew anyone that pay him.
I am not offended with your remarks about the brakes on the ERA. The Vette brakes are not standard on the ERA Kit. It was design to accept it. You can buy any after market brake kit for the Corvette. All those brand are available. Brake design is affected by pads material, number of piston...
The Corvette weights over 1000 pound more than the ERA GT and is a high performance car. Z06 will outperform many European cars at a much lower cost and they are not cheap. You have brake options. The reason I put 17" wheels was to fit 13" brakes. If you keep the 15" wheel you are forced to...
The basic ERA kit does not take 2 years to deliver. You could find a builder on your own that could finish the car. The turnkey takes time. The tub on ERA are Stainless Steel and the quality of ERA cars are second to none. ERA has built 3 turnkey for me (2 GT and 427 Cobra) and I am always...
Enclose are the pictures of my ERA GT in Gulf Trim. This is a turnkey by ERA. This is my second ERA car both of them with Gulf rear fenders. This is a right hand Drive (you can see Teddy holding the wheel). With that size Teddy fits on it without problems. The wheels are BRM style but 17"...
I am on my 4 ERA car (2 427 and 2 GT) and no complains. The last 3 are turnkeys from ERA. My car has the Gulf Fenders and radiator vent. It has 17" wheels with 13" power assisted brakes. The engine is a stroker SBF with a single 4V holley. Roll Bar and Right Hand Drive. No carpets and No...
J9 and J10 were finish for Can-am with the the G7A. J10 is owned by James Holden, Peter Portante (ERA) and myself. G7A body was long gone when we purchased it in the last century. It is now a very long work in progress to MK-IV. J10 racing history is below Hope fully it will be finish in...
You are missing the orginal gt40s built in the 60s by FAV (MKI to MKIV) which should account for 110+ cars and the new Ford GT which are 4,000+ (it has the shape). Even with the new Ford GT most people does not know what is or was the Ford GT40.
Here is ERA GT 2075 at Lime Rock in Sept 06. The black GT is the ERA Spider which was finished early this year.
ERA makes the MK-I with both rears and also have the MK-II rear. They are working on the correct 4 speed gearbox for the MK-II
The BRM style wheels are 17" to make space...
If you want the small block the MkI is your choice. Search the books and see which one you like. the MKIII only a few originals were done and I have not seen a clone yet. Their tail was longer, 2 headlights and side windows. It was the only street car. The Gulf cars with the big fenders and...
I did not order it but my friends at ERA installed a roll cage and very nice looking. Anyway I am not worried about a F150. My concern is concrete walls, armco rails and other cars in the track.
I am glad that you finally looked for US Built Replica. I have not seen the RCR 40 and from the description on their website it looks good and the price is not low. But you made some comments about the aluminum tub that are not correct and not complete. I would not get on a airplane that is...
