For those of you who don't know, they were a mustang specialty dealer located on 17-92 in Casselberry. Judging from their website, it looks like they're not open anymore.

Just checked the site and every car is sold? Looks like the bad economy may have caught up with them. I bought 2 cars from them(01 cobra and 92 LX hatch). They were good people. One of the owners Brian bought my 01 Cobra for his wife about 2 years ago. Oh well, that sucks.

i heard that they were in some trouble for odometer fraud with cars that they have sold. There is a post somewhere on SVTPerformance about it. I will try to dig it up.

no they didnt close down.. for good that is.. they sold all their cars pretty much because they borrowed too much money and couldnt sell the cars so they sold them in liquidation. theyll be back but they will be selling cheap $5k cars.

Are they still gonna specialize in Mustangs or are they just gonna be a run of the mill used car lot?

I bought 2 cobras from them, one stock Sonic Blue 03, which ended up having red paint on the back side of the front bumper....and an 04 mystic coupe w/ kenne bell that would not stay running, and was missing those 'pop rivits' in the chin spoiler and side skirts. I traded the 03 sonic for it. I did not catch any of this when I was buying them. Guess thats what I get for buying cars at night. My buddy bought an 03 Mach 1 w/ "35k" on it, and it ended up blowing up after 17 days of purchase. Thermostat was bad. But we got great deals on them...............
