Barry Grant goes out of business??

I know it doesn't affect many on the forum but it sucks for me. all of Barry Grant products had a lifetime warranty, well kiss that goodbye !! ?




From Barry Grant
As of today, February 18, 2011 we are ceasing operations at our location and all subsidiary locations. Working with all of you has been the experience of a lifetime. I will value your support as friends, customers, vendors, and media contacts forever. The economic situation has put the company in the position of not being able to find working capital needed to continue operations and get a chapter 11 reorganization plan through the court. In addition to this, is that all of our equipment has been breaking down causing production delays and further hurting flow. Reluctantly now we must convert to chapter 7 liquidation after 26 years of business. The financial collapse has closed, or has caused severe restructuring of many companies in our industry. Many individuals have lost everything. We have even lost our home. This is the most humbling experience of my life, and I have no future plans at this point. Thank You for Your Many Years of Support.

That is too bad. I really have no idea what they made, but I assume it would have been muscle car stuff?

Is that "Grant" as in Grant steering wheels?

Either way, I hate to see anybody who stands behind their products lose it all after 26 years in business.

Barry Grant made some of the better carbs out there. I've always admired their work, felt more like a custom deal than the higher volume manufacturers. That sucks, no doubt about it, didn't want to believe it when Sam told me. I definitely wish them the best though, hope they can find another niche or pick this one back up down the road.

my Barry Grant "Race Demon" carb, this would be my 2nd demon cab,



they make a "king demon" that is jest sick if you ask me, VV



they make fuel pumps , fuel injection kits , carbs .

Kind of sounds like they were ready to be done. When things keep breaking it has got to be rough using all your money to keep the facility running.
