Dropping the ball...

After consulting with Shelby American Inc regarding my clients issue with their product and consulting with both Austin Craig and Vince La Viollet both confirming that the differential breather system installed by Hillbank Motorsports, the Shelby American Inc distributor, was installed incorrectly and lead to the damage of the differential in my clients (and Hillbank’s client) Cobra. Unfortunately Shelby American Inc has decided that they have no responsibility as they have no control over Cobra production any longer. They have referred the matter to Hillbank / Lance Stander who denies any responsibility for the way they assembled their product as they state they have sold over 150 Cobras that have been assembled just like this Cobra was, buyers and owners beware! I would like to compliment Hillbank / Lance Stander on their awesome customer relations but I simply can not. If you have purchased a Cobra from Hillbank Motorsports be it a Shelby American Inc Continuation Series or a Mk2 Superformance with the Kirkham differential be aware that your cars differential may fail do to an improperly installed differential breather system, it has the potential to seize at speed and possibly cause an accident.........TIC TOC!
