1964 Shelby Cobra

ERA 289 FIA Roadster (ERA2110)
Capture the pure driving pleasure of a simpler time combined with modern engineering sophistication with this ERA 289 FIA Roadster (ERA2110). Produced in 2006, this Cobra replica is ready for any winding road thanks to independent rear suspension, coilovers, Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires, and four-wheel disc brakes.

The 331ci stroker V8 delivers entertaining levels of power. Built by Precision Engine Machine Company of Hyattsville, Maryland, the engine reportedly features an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake manifold, AFR 185cc cylinder heads, Trick Flow main studs and girdle, ARP head studs, forged pistons, Competition Cams roller rockers, an MSD ignition, a high-torque mini starter, a Canton oil pan, and a Melling oil pump. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TREMEC T5 5-speed manual transmission.

The cockpit is oriented toward spirited driving with Simpson latch-and-link lap belts, and Stewart-Warner instrumentation including an 8,000-rpm tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature, amperage, and fuel level. The low-back bucket seats are upholstered in black vinyl along with matching door panels and carpets. Dyna-Mat heat and sound deadening materials lend a civilized edge to the open sports car experience. Interior appointments include a wood-rimmed steering wheel, Street Cobra dash, ERA-branded pedals, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror.

The fiberglass bodywork is finished in black and features quick-jack bumperettes, a black roll hoop, a bullet-style side mirror, and a racing-style fuel cap. The Halibrand-style 15-inch wheels wear three-eared knockoffs secured with safety wire. The car shows rock chips beneath the front edge as well as in front of the rear wheel arches. A repair is said to have been performed on the driver-front wheel arch. ERA2110 was titled as a 1964 KITV in Washington. It has 4,249 miles and is available for only $84,950.
