Bill was a dealer for Contemporary when Peter Bayer owned the company, how far back, I don't know.

When Bayer decided to sell the rights to the Contemporary Daytona Coupe, Bill bought it. I think this happened around 1996 - 1997.

That being said, up to this point, he seemed OK, although priced a little high especially after the introduction of the Brock Coupe from SPF, which I see as his direct competitor.

Unforunately, I was blind sided with what occurred to me and the completion of my Cobra and needless to say, my friendship with him has ended and I am out over $4500.

In regards to mrmustang, he is now stuck in the middle of Connelly and the buyer of his race car, taking the heat for how Connelly misrepresented the car in the eyes of the purchaser.

End Result? mrmustang may not be able to repair his friendship with the purchaser due to the misrepresentation of the car from Connelly. He did not receive one skinny dime for his efforts on selling this car for Connelly.

My personal feelings are, the purchaser should have gone over this car stem to stern at the time of purchase and raised any red flags then. It could have avoided all of this.

It doesn't make it right in the end that he did not get what he paid for from Connelly, but mrmustang is in no way responsible for this change of events IMHO.

Last I heard, Connelly was looking for a buyer for his Daytona Coupe business.
