331-Powered ERA 289 FIA Roadster

The striking ERA Speedworks roadster is a formidable blend of vintage styling and modern power. Chassis number CSA026560, it is a meticulously crafted tribute to the iconic Shelby Cobra 289, built by skilled hands in Britain and finished in classic British racing green. This FIA homologated beauty roars with a powerful and distinctively American Ford Windsor pushrod V8 engine, displacing a impressive 331 cubic inches and packing over 270 horses eager to propel it from 0-60 mph in just 4 seconds. The engine is mated to a smooth-shifting 5-speed manual transmission for optimal driving enjoyment. The car exudes craftsmanship throughout, boasting hand-built aluminum bodywork draped over a rugged, chromoly tube chassis, and suspending itself on independent suspension with Bilstein coil-over shocks at all four corners for a balanced ride. A unique feature is the aerospace-grade aluminum door skins and engine lid, not only adding to its race-car persona but also reducing unsprung weight for improved handling dynamics. Inside, the classic design continues with hand-stitched leather seats, tasteful instrumentation, and modern safety features such as roll hoops behind the seats. With a dry weight of just 1350 lb (612 kg) and a power-to-weight ratio reminiscent of the original Cobras, this ERA Speedworks roadster promises an exhilarating ownership experience for any discerning enthusiast seeking a perfect blend of nostalgia, performance, and exclusivity.
