Is Motorsports International still in business?
Has anyone had contact with Bill and Marge Ginsler at Motorsports International lately?
They used to be in El Cajon CA and in past years I've bought many hard to find Cobra parts from them. They had a fantastic catalogue.

Hey Greg,
Motorsports International was a fantastic resource for difficult to find, authentic parts for Cobras. They did, indeed, fall off the face of the earth and I wish I knew how to reach Ginsler to pick his brain on sourcing some of the parts for which he seemed to have found suppliers. However, I have a copy of their catalog and it's a pretty good resource, in it's own right, for determining which parts are correct. If you're interested in borrowing it, I live in San Diego and would be happy to loan it out if you're local. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll give you my number.
Mike

I was in touch with Bill recently. He popped up on e-bay with some odds and ends. His vendor list would be a hell of a score.

I think it's spelled 'Guensler'...
I have that loose-leaf, white binder catalog marked Volume 1 , 12th edition, with a price list dated 1-1-99. But his name is not in it.
It's a staggering compilation of parts from cranks to lift-a-dots. All B & W pages and line drawings.
Amazing husband and wife operation.

Is this who you are asking about? Do not know if this is current. This is straight from Google search.

Hi tcrist. Thats the right address and phone number. I must have the last name spelt wrong.
Obsessive and ERA Chas: I too have a copy of their catalogue : Volume 1, 1st Edition, May 1993. What a great resource. I'm going to make a concerted effort to contact them next week.
Cheers
Greg

Expect a dead-end. I think Bill folded their tent. Mick may have a line of contact for him.
