Unique Performance Summary

I think you have done a great job.. You hit it all on the head!!

This just in, I have heard that the FEDS raided UP this morning, and have taken all of the docs, computers, and files in the office. Five buildings full of cars that have been started, and or finished.

You want to see a circus, wait till the attny general gets his hands on these guys, then the real fun starts...

As the days go on, it just keeps getting worse..

 

I'm at SEMA and did not see Unique anywhere.

 

Unique was not at SEMA. There was a garage cabinet company that called itself Unique and had pictures of Unique cars pictured/wrapped on their products but when ask they said they were licensed by Unique and had no other connection . They seemed to be clueless about what has been happening with the car company. It appeared that other former affiliations were trying to distance themselves as much as possible.

 

Here's something that may be helpful for those who are getting the short end of the stick. Perhaps this link will serve as a means to contact all that have provided a deposit but did not receive a vehicle.


UNIQUE PERFORMANCE SCAM

http://www.uniqueperformancescam.com/

 

TMZ.com is showing the docs of the woman who is going after Shelby for using the name Ellanor. As in GT500e.

If I am reading it right, ( I am no attny ) it looks to be valid. Yet another chapter in the life of Shelby/Unique Performance..

If its ture, then these cars that Shelby is offering threw UP, are all void. Wow, now that's some wrinkle..

Yet another thought...

 

OH My.

 

I am just guessing the feds just want to do quality control on the blowers and suspension and the feds will have the cars back to Unique by Monday!! At this rate I should get my car in 2011 to 2012.

 

This is another new lawsuit, with the same flavor in it. If you can, take a few mins to look at the docs, and then read some of the blogs. It looks like a valid claim. But I am no judge.

What I do know, is that these men have been stealing from the public for some time now, and "other" people did know what's going on, and let it go on!!

Its going to get real hot befor it all ends!!

As far as the FEDS, well that's going to be another storie, at least 4 to 5 years befor that is complete.. Wow, that puts it into 2012...

Did they ever find the dog?? Or is he in the pen already?

Talk soon...

when you have too many Irons in the fire, some of them are bound to melt. I guess Unique Performance is a fine example of that. while I am not a huge Eleanor fan, I thought the concept was a novel idea and I really liked what they did with the suspensions, Drivetrains interiors etc. I really liked the 66 versions! I guess they will be available at a Fed Auction at some point!

 

If you like the early version you missed an opportunity. The 1st of those was at auction at Russo & Steele (Monterey) this year. Not much interest with only one or two bids - stopping in the high 50's - low 60's if I recall correctly. Though the sale and the price was interesting and possibly an indication of things to come.

Like street rods, never understood why someone would pay someone else to build their dream car. But that is just be

 

It was "numero uno".

Bidding stopped at $73,700. Owner probably took it back home at that price.
They don't say if it sold or d/n/m reserve

 

The bidding must have continued after the hammer fell

It was a no reserve car .... but we all know that doesn't aways mean that the car sells

 

I believe it goes something like:

"...going once....going twice....SOLD...to the chandelier in the back of the room."

 

Word on the street here in Dallas is that UP has filed for bankruptcy and that all of the cars are slated to be destroyed.

 

Here in Dallas? I thought you were in LA.

 

Home for the holiday's.
