ulfv8 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hi, I postet this on another forum as well but may be here I will get an answer? last june I ordered some suspension parts from Shelby perf. parts ( UCA, LCA, panhard ). ETA was scheduled for early october. Since today I received nothing and I`m a bit upset.. I tried to call them but all of the sudden nobody is available anymore ( i.e. Brian Turner, Keith Criswell, Enrique etc. ). They didn`t answer my emails, faxes nor are they calling me back... Now I heard a rumor that Shelby perf. parts have been bought out by an undisclosed company and that no pricing information or application information will be available until after the deal has been closed. Sales are on hold or on " backorder ". If this is true this could be the reason for their strange and weird behavior. Anybody heard about that or can confirm? Happy Thanksgiving Ulf / Hamburg / Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dh777 Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 My understanding is that SPP is Scott Drake; with an agreement with Shelby to move their stuff. Maybe something went wrong with that agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildAzCat Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I've bought quite a few things from SPP. Let me tell you it seems that everything is on back order, shipping is always through the roof and quality is sometimes lacking... That said I keep going back because it's the only game in town for the pieces I'm interested in. I've made a point to stop by during SEMA and see if I can save myself some shipping cost.

kahmann Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Last I heard was that SPP was shut down a week or so ago for 'inventory'. No parts were moving and no one was available. I've had some stuff on back order with them for weeks now with slim communication from Enrique, when typically his replies are within minutes of my requests. Van was able to get my radiator sneaked out the back door somehow, but other than that, it's been awfully quiet on Cassia Way. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact here is the first few lines of their press release: Las Vegas – June 14, 2007 – A new performance parts business formed by Shelby Automobiles™ and Scott Drake Enterprises, Inc. will be introduced at the 33rd Annual Mid-America Ford Performance and Shelby Meet on June 14, 2007. Have they had growing pains, sure have. Could Scott Drake be handling things better, sure could. Are changes in the works, I'll leave that for you figure out. Anyway the point of my post is to show that there is no hidden conspiracy. Both Scott Drake and Shelby Auto's have been upfront from day one who they are. Besides how could they hide that fact when some of the stuff arrives in Scott Drake packaging. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approximate date should be between 12-1-09 and 12-15-09. May be after that I`ll get my parts ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT-C0056 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I just did a big order. Dont know the status yet, but its my first time I buy with them. The only worries that I would foresee is that other companies dont Charge your Credit card until they ship. I would be dissapointed if I was charged $3000 and had to wait 6 months to get a part, while paying interest on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Sugan Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 So I take it this is why my car has been at the dealer for over a month now. They are still waiting on stripes because they are on backorder. Good thing this is not my everyday car cause they won't give me a rental. Hopefully Santa will bring my car home at Christmas!!!!

Wouldn't it make more sense to have taken your car home and then wait for the dealer to call you when the stripes come in? I'm not sure I would want to leave my car at a dealership for any length of time, things have a way of happening. Good luck with the stripes. Hope they arrive soon for you.

amyb Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Guys, we have always been a partner with SDrake, they do run the business though. SPP is not being "bought out"" not sure where that rumor comes from. There are changes happening and we will share it with all of you first when it is legal to do so.

I wish ShelbyStore could help on the stripes, but we don't have any here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
