Whether it's a 427SC or a 289FIA Cobra or a GT40 Mk1, ERA produces the finest, best-engineered, and most rugged legendary reproduction Shelby metal you can introduce to your stable of fine motorcars. This GT40 has logged approximately 750 miles since completion. It's titled and licensed in Arizona as a 1965 Ford GT40.

Hang on and grin: this 'Fab Forty' is breathtaking in every respect—both visually and performance-wise—and is 100% equipped and prepared to provide you with exhilarating driving thrills.

Years ago Curt Scott characterized the ERA GT40 drivin' machine as "The P51 Mustang of the motorways."

And the list goes on; there's just too much to add about this beauty's custom fabrication, the custom brackets and the polished, plated, or powder-coated extras. This is one of the finest examples of "The Golden Era of great racecars" you're likely to ever encounter.

This drivin' machine demanded much more time and investment than I planned, but the result has greatly exceeded my expectations. Build was executed by a pro/performance shop in New Mexico.

Shannon's testimonial to us reads in part:

"... and a special tribute to Curt Scott's expert photography tips: no one in far-off Helvetia (or even Hialeah or Hyannis Port or Hoboken) would've been motivated to contact me without those fine photographs of my lime-green drivin' machine."
