Vehicle Description
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.
