I am amazed and am going to show support I will place an order this weekend (things are a little busy between now and then).

From what I see here there is a bunch of "goodwill" associated with the company that was worth something. Yes, it is a small community of supporters and my limited experience with them means I will be back over and over again!

I also hope the now owners will come here.

This is great news. Dana called us today, he talked to my partner Paul, to tell us the good news. With in the last couple of weeks I announced that I was taking some time off from building cars. Since then I have received three orders for Dragons. Since my molds and jigs for the Dragon are at Shell Valley I am able to fill those orders!
I finished my Cobra today and took it on a short drive in the neighbor hood. Now to get it registered and start enjoying it!

Great news, glad someone was able to save one of the oldest Cobra manufacturers from being plowed under. Can't wait to hear from the new owners.
