It seems that in the US it has become very difficult to obtain a quality car if you don't have the capacity to do a moderate amount of fabrication time (vs simple assembly). The demise of CAV and Superperformance and the wait time for ERA all seem to have compounded it.
As I've researched the various threads, there have been a lot of posts about the possibility of a +/-$50K (my target expense without visiting divorce court) kit by one of the following:
1. Go to the UK and buy one there and ship it back less engine to get it accepted by the DOT as a kit. This takes advantage of the larger availability there. I have know idea as to the hassle value.
2. Wait for an older completed car to hit the marketplace and jump on it (assuming it is restorable).
3. Get something like an RF kit and scrounge/fabricate locally some of the modules to lower the cost (instruments,
wiring, shocks etc.
Any other options or thoughts would be appreciated.
