Wow. Chip Foose has dropkicked his partnership with Unique Performance. Unique Performance is the shop that builds the "Eleanor" Mustangs. Check out these two links, especially the second one. Egads!

OUCH! how irresponsible

 

Wow. That sucks.

 

Let's post our favorite hack-job contenders from the second link.

Mine are:

The Chinese made "modified" clutch fork.
The emergency brake cable wrapped around the rear shock.
The electrical wiring zip-tied to the fuel line.

 

Year One for the win.

 

I've said it from the start UP is a joke. FYI, this info has been out for about a month now (that they were in some serious trouble)


Shelby started having issues with him over a month ago.

 

year one doesn't build cars for customers if i'm not mistaken

 

Don't they build that new Smokey & The Bandit TA?

 

you have corrected me (I love that thing )

 

How could you ruin such a great idea. There goes that dream car...

I thought this was about Unique AutoSports at first glance

 

you can build an elanor for much cheaper then those tools were charging

 

if i remember correctly, i was watching a TV episode on these fuckers and they said that they assign new VIN's to these cars so why is it they they are getting in trouble NOW. also it wouldn't matter if these cars were salvage once because they are getting rebuild from the ground up anyways. i am wrong??

 

I think I read about it in Autoweek several issues ago. Sucks for them.

 

Shameful practices.
