Re: New Era GN.
so it was you!!! I was bidding on it too. I was actually the first bid and then I bid the last 1/2 hour or so and you still outbid me. You got it for a great deal. I would have bid on it higher, but deep down inside I knew that I did not need it. I got too much junk here as it is!!
Cant wait to see some pics once you get it. Looks like it will clean up nice! I also dont think its a GN. Looks like its a US muscle chassis. A corvette or camaro body goes on that.

Re: New Era GN.
Funky is really putting together a nice "Top Shelf" collection. Very well thought out purchases and at good prices. Just shows that you can have a premium collection on a budget!

Re: New Era GN.
I dont know much about the serial numbers. I have seen them on the chassis before but I dont know if anyone has the log book. Probably only new era. They did offer cars setup for conley engines.

Re: New Era GN.
Oh, just noticed the question above. Yea, its the pillars. They had a major rake on them so the chassis would fit the corvette and camaro bodies properly.

Re: New Era GN.
Hmmm, that C could stand for that?
I have molds for the firebird body and camaro. I did recieve a Iroc body for my birthday one year. They are wicked hard to find. I have only seen 2 in my life and I have one of them. They were made by wcm.

Re: New Era GN.
dimensionally they are about the same but the camaro has much less detail. The camaro looks good... until you see this one. I wish there were more of these. The thing that sucks is you have to cut and glue this thing together just like their 34 ford body. I have put it off for a long time. Just waiting for the right car to put it on i guess..

Re: New Era GN.
why not start making these with the permission of wcm? I love the details? do you think wcm has the mold for these? I take it selling it is out of the question or would you?

Re: New Era GN.
from what i understand the mold was destroyed... I dont know too much history on these. The problem with remaking these even in fiberglass is the cost of the mold. I just dont think there is enough of a market to get your money back out of one. You would need to sell atleast 10 bodies to just break even.
You guys know me, i dont like to sell any of my stuff.

Re: New Era car.
Just saw this... What a FIND!!!
You've got the foundations of a truly CLASSIC car there... can't wait to see how you finish it. Thinking street/stock, custom, or competition look?
