Buxbaum (a Buffalo boy, by the way) was to be the original importer. his plan was to insatll turbocharged 351s in the chassis. He brought in a few cars and then the deal unwound. He had the cars priced WAY out there. I have the trade advertisment he ran, a full page ad in AUTOMOTIVE NEWS looking for dealers. Most of the cars Richard had were sold off as rollers. Brian became disinchanted with Buxy as time went on and then the Ford deal happened, I came along* and Brian really got serious about building and selling cars.
*this is not to imply that I "made it happen", Brian just needed a little shove over the top to get it together and I was only a small part of it...it would have happened regardless.

And this thread has been hijacked, all this talk about cars and such when the real focus should be that Muck jerk!
