SPF dealer recommendation
I believe there are 11 dealers total in the states? Who comes highly recommended?  Please PM if you don't want to post here out in the open for whatever reason...
I don't know any of them so some guidance here would be highly appreciated. I am looking for a dealer that would guide me through the process of the build out, make sure everything is well sorted out and deliver a turnkey car I can enjoy. I have the budget for it and the distance should not be an issue, just looking to deal with professionals! 
Thanks!!! |

Dennis Olthoff would be my choice, especailly if you plan to include any Hi-end parts like brakes, etc. He as probably involved with the development of most of the special items available for a new chassis.

Dennis Olthoff knows more about Superformance cars than anyone else on the planet. He races them competitively and he wins. A lot. He pushes them to the bleeding edge and then over the edge. He breaks them. He finds the weak spots and then he designs and custom builds stronger parts. He and his dad Bob (RIP) are probably responsible for almost every improvement that has been incorporated into the MkIII since the first one rolled off the assembly line. He is totally a no BS straight shooter that tells it like it is. He'll sell you a Superformance as cheap as anybody.

Why is Olthoff not listed as a dealer on the Superformance website?

Dennis has a depth of knowledge about Cobras that is unsurpassed by any other dealership. His integrity and passion make for a great combination. In my opinion he is the best choice to assist you in acquiring an SPF.

In addition to Olthoff, you might also want to call Rick Muck at Time Machines Motorsports near Buffalo NY. Both Rick and Dennis are here at SAAC-37, flying the Superformance flag together.

I don't have experience with any other Superformance dealers, but I have to join the chorus supporting Olthoff. Incredible depth of knowledge and experience, and he's a pretty interesting character as well--he certainly isn't afraid to tell you when he thinks you're making a bad decision about options, even when it means he will lose some work/profit as a result.

I see Bartruff recommended Gear Six Performance in Boise. Although I live in the DC Metro area, I always visit Wayne at Gear Six when I'm in my home town of Boise. Wayne does the installs and services cars in his own shop. He doesn't just sell rollers. It is a small operation, but his ability to stay in business in such a small market is a testament to his customer service and client loyalty.

Olthoff
Bought mine from Dennis Olthoff and I would do it again in a heart beat. He's a good man.

Give Wayne at Gear 6 Performance in Boise a call. You won't be sorry. Customer service is number one with him. Go to his web site and you will see that he has sold cars all over the US including as far east as Florida. He also delivers cars himself.

Bill Andrews of HRE Motorcars in Frreport, NY ordered and built my alloy CSX in 2004. He has done many original Cobras and GT40s. I was at his shop last week and he is finishing an original Cobra that is headed to Pebble Beach. I had a great experience with him to the extent that I just ordered a Shelby GT40 through him. He places the order directly with Hillbank which is Shelby Distribution in Irvine, California. If for nothing else I wold have a conversation with him at 516-378-5461.

SPF dealer recommendation
I bought SPC0123 from Wayne at Gear 6 Performance, and can honestly say that his service and attention to detail is absolutely tops! He delivered my car to my door (500 miles) and when it needed some attention, he picked it up and took it back to Boise to work on it, then brought it back to me. Astonishing!
You can't go wrong with G6P.
