Vehicle Description
1965 Ford Roadster ERA 427 Replica - ERA Turn-Key Build - Joe Lapine 428 Stroker - Richmond 5-Speed - Registered in Georgia as 1965 Ford Roadster This ERA 427 Roadster delivers exactly what enthusiasts want in a high-quality Cobra-style build: the iconic wide-hipped body, proper roadster proportions, big-block Ford power, a manual gearbox, serious documentation, and the kind of turn-key craftsmanship that separates a well-built replica from an ordinary kit car. Built by ERA as a turn-key car, ERA707 presents as a highly sorted, beautifully finished 427-style roadster with a strong mechanical package and a classic silver-over-black color combination. ERA has long been regarded as one of the premier names in the Cobra replica world, known for accuracy, build quality, chassis engineering, and attention to detail. This example benefits from that pedigree, along with a desirable Joe Lapine-built 428 stroker, aluminum heads, aluminum intake, new Holley carburetor, Richmond 5-speed transmission, Lakewood bellhousing, big front brakes, ERA optional rear suspension, Smith gauges, wool carpeting, remote oil filter, and three binders full of documentation. The car is currently located in the Atlanta area and is registered in Georgia as a 1965 Ford Roadster. Exterior Finished in a timeless silver, this ERA 427 Roadster has the unmistakable stance and presence that made the original Cobras legendary. The shape is aggressive without needing to be overstated - flared fenders, low windshield, wide rear quarters, side pipes, hood scoop, quick-jack style bumperettes, and a purposeful roadster profile. The car was repainted last year due to rock chips and minor road rash, giving the exterior a fresh, clean presentation while maintaining the honest character of a car that was built to be driven and enjoyed. The silver paint highlights the curves of the body beautifully, especially across the front fenders, doors, and rear haunches. Brightwork, badging, windshield trim, mirrors, roll hoop, and exterior hardware all complement the vintage race-inspired look. Key exterior features include: ERA 427-style roadster body Silver exterior finish Repainted last year due to chips and minor road rash Hood scoop Side-exit exhaust Chrome roll hoop Quick-jack style bumperettes 427 badging Classic Cobra-style grille opening Black side pipes Clear wind wings and sun visors Trunk-mounted fuel filler Timeless wide-body roadster stance The car rides on classic knockoff-style wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. The tires are only two years old, giving the car a fresh and properly fitted stance while preserving the vintage performance look. Interior Inside, the cockpit carries the raw, driver-focused feel that makes these cars so special. The black interior pairs perfectly with the silver exterior and keeps the entire car looking purposeful and period-correct. Low-back black bucket seats, black door panels, wool carpeting, a wood-rim steering wheel, exposed shifter, racing harnesses, Smith gauges, and toggle-style switchgear all contribute to the authentic roadster experience. The interior is clean, simple, and built around the driver. There are no unnecessary distractions - just the essentials: gauges, steering wheel, shifter, pedals, and the sound of a big Ford stroker sitting ahead of you. Interior highlights include: Black cockpit Wood-rim Cobra steering wheel Smith instrumentation Wool carpet Black bucket seats Racing harnesses Classic dash layout Toggle switches Manual shifter Wind wings Sun visors Fire extinguisher mounted in the cockpit Cobra-branded floor mats The Smith gauge package gives the dash the proper vintage look, with dedicated readouts for water temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature, amperage, fuel, tachometer, and speedometer. The car shows the correct minimalist feel of a proper 1960s-style roadster while still being clean, finished, and highly usable. Engine & Driv |
