Ever wanted your own engine business

[Dallas56]

DanEC, I had a similar experience with Keith about a month ago. I drove to Arkadelphia to look at a Superformance that Keith was selling, my first Cobra, never met Keith before. He had put a small block stroker (427 cubic inch, 580 horsepower, 590 torque) and Tremek TKO-600 into a beautiful new SPF roller (Royal blue, double Wimbledon racing stripe). Keith gave me the full tour of his shop and two hours of his time, showed me the car, demo'ed the engine (no drive, it was wet), went over all paperwork (including Dyno data), and answered all questions. I bought the car on the spot. Keith is a big talent, hard working, honest, responsive. He and Shelly worked with me to resolve an SPF roller issue (no issues at all with the engine) and to generate all the paper work necessary to get a new title in Texas. Keith trailered the car to me in Dallas on his way to the Texas annual meeting in San Marcos. Car is great, engine is breathtaking. (Yesterday, a Corvette pulled up to me at a red light, driver rolled his window down, said "Now, that's a man's car, tell me about it." This was right after a cop waved at me, and a kid on a hot shot motorcycle challenged me (a challenge this brand new and inexperienced old man owner declined).) Keith gave me his cell number and has answered my phone calls at 8 PM at night. I can't speak highly enough of the guy and don't understand how any customer could have an issue with him. If he retires . . . our loss.
