Default Backdraft inspection in NJ

Was wondering if there are any backdraft owners in NJ that can inspect a car for me. The commercial inspectors are are a joke and know nothing about backdrafts.

I will pay $200 for your time.

Might want to let people know what town in NJ it is in.
Also, while someone may own a "Backdraft", they still may not know what they are looking at, so you might want to ask specifically for someone who has mechanical abilities and can also check for fit, finish, or quality of work performed when the car was delivered Also, don't just limit yourself to a "Backdraft" owner.

you need to know your chassis number
and
who did the final assembly, with what powertrain, and when

then an inspection can begin

Not trying to give you a tough time, but asking specifically for a Backdraft owner to look at a car does not imply anything other than they are an owner of a Backdraft. Quite a few Cobra owners are lucky they can check their own oil, but do not know much about the mechanicals other than that.

You may call local SAAC Rep? Usually know cars.

I'm not far from Summit, NJ. If you want to have Jay (Vintage Motorsports - see above post) give me a list of things to check out, I can see about inspecting it for you (schedule allowing).

Let me know.
