Smile Got my Backdraft Cobra Roadster

I have great news. I received my beautiful, grey with silver stripes Backdraft Cobra Roadster this week. I did something that I would have never thought I would do. I bought this car without ever seeing it, until the semi delivered it.
Jay at Vintage Motorsports did a great job of keeping me posted on progress, not only with e-mails but with pictures posted dailey on their website.

If you want to see it go to Vintage Motorsports website and look at current projects. Click on Tim's roadster #1096. You can see the daily progress as I saw it. Then he posted a Video of the 20 minute test drive so I could see it in action.

All I can say is that Jay and his brother run a good business. Just look at how clean and organized their shop is. Jay was honest with me, and delivered exactly what he said he would. He put up with a few panic attacks on my part through the process. IT IS A GREAT CAR!

Thanks, to Jay at Vintage Motorsports. I can answer any questions any one of you might have. But, I would recommend using Jay and his brother if you want to live out your dreams!

Wow, I can only imagine how you must feel. That's the same color combination I am going to get when I order my Backdraft. Watched the video - that car sounds awesome.

Congratulations and enjoy.

I did the same thing.. Never met Jay or Brian and never actually saw a BDR before purchasing.. I will never forget Jay driving in down my driveway for the first time..

Yes,
I bought #874 from Vintage without seeing a BDR first.
No regrets here.

Glad to see solid feedback on Vintage, mine is #1131 should be on its way to CO in a week or so. Any feedback on Big Block's, I got the Ford Racing 521; last one they are going to build with that engine.

Buying from VMS is like a mail order bride. Except she really is as hot as her pictures, her personality will charm anyone, and she has a heathly appetite but never gains weight. Order your flavor today!
