If you're looking for a Cobra lookalike, you have many choices. But if you're looking for "an original, "? this is the one you want. After all... it's an ERA, and nothing comes closer to the originals (old and new) in looks and engineering.

This ERA Cobra replica was built, finished and maintained especially "original" and it's a prize for those who appreciate that special era look, without modernization (however beautiful). No low-profile tires, no EFI, just 1966 muscle in the most beautiful body shape ever crafted (plus all of ERA's engineering enhancements).

ERA 707 is an ERA-finished Cobra, built by them in 2005 for an original buyer in Massachusetts who said, "Build me the best car you can." They did. It has all options including:

Trigo 6-pin knockoff wheels with Halibrand spinners
Dunlop GT tires in excellent condition, 80%+ tread remaining
ERA's improved "track" rear suspension with outboard brakes
Upgraded Sierra front brakes
Wool carpet
Leather seats with 4-point harnesses
Coated exhaust and sidepipes (with safety shields)
Richmond 5-speed transmission (1:1 5th)
Full set of Smiths gauges with reverse speedo
Visors and wind wings
Le Mans gas cap (with inner safety cap)
Lucas tri-bar headlights
...and much more.

Under the hood it has a master-built Danbury Competition Engines big-block FE:

1966 date-code iron-block 428CJ
Forged stroker crank, SCAT rods and custom pistons for a displacement of 446 cubic inches
Aluminum Edelbrock Performance RPM heads and intake
Custom-curved MFI ignition
Speed Demon carburetor and a full-breathing Cobra oval air intake
The original build was with a Holley carb and turkey pan, which are included.
7-quart baffled oil pan
High-flow Canton oil cooling thermostat for optimum oil temperature control
4-row aluminum radiator and electric puller fan (handled California summer temps with ease)
Builder dyno was over 450HP; carb and other changes put it closer to 500HP

ERA is famed for building Cobras that combine "original everywhere you can see, improved everywhere you can't" engineering:

Reinforced original-style frame, powder coated for looks and corrosion resistance
ERA track-grade rear suspension with Salisbury limited-slip center, outboard brakes and easily adjustable alignment
Sierra 12.2 inch front brakes
Spax adjustable coil-over shocks - 2 front, 4 rear for fast dial-in of ride and handling
Front A-arm suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, as original
Fiberglass body pulled from original Cobra and hand-refined for one of the most beautiful shapes in the business
Bonded chassis-shell construction for incredibly solid, silent, rattle-free driving with perfect hood, trunk and door fit

No expense or time has been spared getting the era-authentic details right:

Battery is an era-correct Autolite replica
Glove box pull is the rare "t-handle" type
Gauges are all Smiths, as original
AC aluminum pedals with left foot rest
Lucas tri-bar headlights

Finished in $8,000 worth (2005 prices!) of glowing Lamborghini Titanium. It's a well-kept driver, so there are a few tiny dings here and there, and some scrapes under the chin... but a pint of professional matched paint is included for touch-up work. Never driven on dirt, gravel or in the wet, so it's as spotless as a driver can be. Near-new Wolf cover, lead wheel hammer, and safety wire kit included. Also includes the front splitter, finished in body color, and the original-build Holley carb and turkey pan, along with three binders of original build, maintenance and upgrade information. Documented to the last nut and bolt for any registration, validation or export need.

Completely, thoroughly sorted out and ready to drive - no kinks, no issues.

This is an investment-grade car in every respect, with three premium resale markets available:

Special California SB100 note:Registered in California under the SB100 smog exemption program (an expensive and time-consuming process!) Original California title with the SB100 designation in hand, and the SB100 chassis sticker is still in place. All information I have is that the vehicle may be returned to California and re-registered without further qualification - but it is entirely on the buyer to research and verify that possiblity.
Special Canada note:Since 707 is approaching 15 years (in March, 2020) it will soon be eligible for import into Canada. Savvy buyers might want to consider buying this Cobra over others with an eye towards premium resale to the north after a couple of years of thorough enjoyment!
Special Massachusetts note: I have been told that as a former MA car, 707 can be registered in Massachusetts more easily than a new build or a new registration there. (Buyer to research and verify.)

I will be happy to answer questions at length in email, and talk with serious buyers at any time or length. See the web site listed above for more photos, details and information.
