I have a Classic Roadster and I think Gary Rutherford had or let Excalibur start building and selling his cars after Classic went chapter 7. This happened in 1993 after signing bankruptcy agreement in Sept 92. CR could take no new orders (cash) until all backorders were filled. Feb 93 they went Chapter 7. The 003 car is the 3ed car made by Excalibur in 1993 with Excalibur MSO. The doors are different but everything else is the same. Frame has minor differences. When I picked up in Fargo the Phase 1 frame package in Feb 1993 the dude said CR was gone, bankrupt. Leisure Industries formed and then Duchess Capital Management LLC came in 1996, CR was back. Excalibur was soon to be gone, lack of interest in the Neo-Classics and DOT/EPA rules
