Vintage Motorcars? never heard of em..

I believe that they recently acquired Vintage Speedster.  Do a search for them on this site as there is another thread about this somewhere.

i'm going to have to drive down there. No wonder i haven't heard from them. Trying to find out what a typical/standard turn key costs now from Kirk

Lane is correct.  Vintage has been sold.  Here is the thread:

I talked to Kirk today. The deal is not final yet as like most deals like this the is probably a letter of intent with details to be worked out. Kirk said he will be around for quite a while during the transition period. I am sure the knowledge transfer process will be long. it is not like there is a lot of written information on the "how to" part of this business. 

 

They'll probably raise their pricing to.

I believe I posted on the other thread that the base price at Vintage Speedster is $23,500. 

Pretty sure it a lot further than a letter of intent.  I think its more that the entire transaction is not complete, but it sure looks like it's a done deal. 

Can't wait to see Jim's car. I bet he's Jonesin too.So are they still in Hawaiian Gardens or are they moving to Long Beach.

Ok, my bad just saw pics of Jim' cars on other thread. Wow that is a beautiful car.

Long Beach is right next to Hawaiian Gardens.  I think it's just a mailing address. The new owner is headquartered in Arizona I would be surprised if they moved the operation, unless they really expand and start building more car, then they probably would need to.

So I would assume if I wanted to purchase a speedster now I can with kirk? Operations will still be the same!I'm in the hint for one

Kirk made it clear that he would be involved for a while. It's not like he's going to turn over the keys and walk away.

I would find it highly unlikely the new owners would move the operations. I bought my car from Kirk at the bottom of the recession when he was building inventory due to slow sales. The skill level of his workers is such that it is not easily transferred. The only benefit from moving would be if you built an entirely new manufacturing facility to increase production and reduce costs. That of course would require significant capital and the ability to maintain production, bring on and train new workers, etc. I doubt the size of the market for these cars could ever justify that kind of expenditure. 

I don't think the market has been tapped.  I honestly believe that with the proper advertising, Vintage sales could double.

I think speedsters will do well more now cuz there  is a significant gap between the values of cars and originals speedsters too
