Taking the liberty of posting a quote from DV's post in CR Soft Top thread on Feb 9. Thought everyone would more likely get the news if it became highlighted as a separate thread.

"Gentlemen, the news has come in and it isn't good-broke my heart. I too felt like I have been "lead by the nose" for a year only to find out last week all contracts, deals,financing to buy CR's is either "bull" or has simply failed. We are no better off than we were when Don was forced to close his doors.

"I gave the gentlemen over a week to post the bad news here and he hasn't so once again it seems to have fallen in my lap. I have nothing more to add, I can not even dream of getting the money at my age and condition. To hell with age issues, if I wasn't dealing with a stroke every day of my life I would go after the company with a vengance.

"As we all know it IS one of the best Cobras on the market. The only one that comes close is SF and that is because they have the money to udate and advertise-period. KMP? Entirely different car and is not made for competition against CR's. Unique and ERA are great cars but again totally different than a CR.

"Sorry to break the news but I have always said I will never lie to you. Two weeks ago I was lead to believe everything was in place and the paperwrk was ready to be signed-right!"

Perhaps there is hope when business conditions improve.
