Well, I purchased my Ledgendary around 89--I think I got the last one out before they turned out the lights and dodged one law suit after another. I spent hours on the phone. They still own me some parts--headers, bumpers etc, etc. They sure stuck some good people. How stupid I was-I send the $13,000.00 with nothing backing my $$ but their word--what a joke--I had some scary moments. I would still like to get my hands on some of those dogs.

The sales office was in Orlando and the car was actually built in Jay Oaklahoma.

10 years later I had it on the road--sort of a quick build, I wanted to get it done for the the annual parade.

I'm on the 3rd engine rebuild--finally got it right--the first guy didn't tighten the mains-- The second mechanic, right, had the oil pump gasket on upside down--no oil to the one side The guy who finished the car forgot to check the read end, it was empty--10 miles into the maiden voyage--I was calling the tow truck.

Now it's right--7000mi and no problems--

I really love the car--it's glass is flawless--and thick--no cracks and the doors, hood and trunk fit perfectly.

At the Spring Flind, I met another guy who had a Ledgendary. He is please with his and I'm grateful for that. We sort of had a bond, like the FFR and Superformance guys have.

Well that's it--But before I go I think but I better check the mains the rear end and all the gaskets! Oh well,

Thanks for asking,
Mike
