QR Code Link to This Post
Offered for sale is a beautiful ERA GT40, chassis #2022 — an early, mild-steel chassis car with just 8,700 miles since build and a pedigree of top-tier craftsmanship and upgrades. First registered in 2003, this car has been under current ownership since 2020 and is now offered for sale to fund a new ranch project in Montana.
A Rare Opportunity
ERA GT40s are no longer in production, and their value continues to climb. Regarded by many — including Carroll Shelby himself — as indistinguishable from the originals, Peter Portante’s ERA GT40s are among the finest continuation builds ever produced. If you know, you know: these cars don’t sit long.
