TURN-KEY
(minus) CARS FROM E.R.A.
ERA
sells kits, not
complete cars,
but we can assist you
in
your
car's construction - all the way to a finished vehicle if you supply the drivetrain The
car is
custom
built to your
specifications. There are
also several
experienced
builders around the country who will do a good job. Inquire.
Our "base" turn-key is listed below, options at the bottom.
Many
other variations
are possible.
When we do install a customer-supplied engine, etc, on a complete kit, we
road test about
100 miles.
While
we certainly don't recommend it, we've had customers drive from
Connecticut
to the west coast straight out of the factory!
| This car
being
loaded into a Intercity
Lines transporter for delivery to
Texas. Many
others can be seen

STANDARD 427SC:
Approximately
$67,000 base price -see below for
options
- Standard
Engine: Ford (390
cid FE)
engine
with approximately 325 bhp: This engine looks just like the
original
428 engine that the later original Shelbys used. For a little
bit
more
money, a 428 Cobra Jet can be fit. Either choice is a
reasonable
compromise
between power, streetability, and cost.
Ford 427 Side Oiler engines are also available, but at considerable
added
cost. We can also install any Ford small block or the 429/460 engine.
All
FE engines can have the correct equipment. i.e. Mid-riser cylinder
heads,
intake manifold and carburetor. Aluminum heads from Edlebrock
or
Shelby
are optional. Chevrolet engines are also available, but not
recommended.
- Paint:
Single nonmetallic
with no stripe,
done in urethane hardened acrylic lacquer with clear finish coat.

$2500
additional.

Brakes> Also
