Default What about Vintage Motorsports

I am the last minute before writing a check for a Backdraft Cobra with a 351w punched to a 427 engine. I like everything about Backdraft and Vintage Motorsports. Is there anything I should know regarding Vintage Motorsports....are they as reputable as they seem?

Never heard any complaints on here, and if there were you would definatly know about it, one thing most guys on this site hate to see is somebody getting ripped off when buying anything to do with cars and cobras.

I can say that I've never seen a bad thing written about Vintage Motorsports. I have also dealt with Jay on business deals and I would personally have no problem with writing him a big fat check for a Cobra.

What a great X-mas present...

Jay and the gang are stand up guys. I've had the pleasure of knowing him and he did some work on my coupe when I lived in CT. I wouldn't think twice about writing a check to Jay. Not only a great business, but a great bunch of people.

From what I've read over the years, Jay has a lot of satisfied customers. He's always here to answer questions.

Pull the trigger and get ready for some fun!

The only bad thing about Jay is that he lives in CT.

Buy from Jay. No worries.

Bought my Backdraft used from a private party. The car needed a little work done and Jay treated me like I had purchased it from Vintage Motorsports new. Look forward to continuing my future Cobra needs with Jay. real stand up guy. Represent everything Vintage is about. No worries and enjoy!!!!!

I have never done business with Jay or Vintage (I own a Superformance), but speaking as a participant on this forum -- people have expressed nothing but positive things. If I were to buy a Backdraft (hey, I love my Superformance), I would buy from them in a minute. Enjoy your car when you get it!!

Jay does a great job of representing the brand.

I want to say Thank-you! I am new to the Cobra world and this website. I asked if Vintage Motorsports is as good as they seem. And if Jay is a honest person to work with. It is the first time have have purchased a car through the internet.

I got 10 answers back from people and it really reassured me that my decision to buy my new Backdraft is the right decision. I will in turn help other people in the future that post to this Forum if I can. I appreciate your honest and candid replies.

Merry Christmas!

Jay is great to work with. I broke my clutch slave cylinder and called Jay. Had a new one shipped to me in 3 days. I didn't purchase my Backdraft from him, yet he treated me as though I did. I have no reservations about calling and doing business with Jay again. A real asset to this forum.

Both Jay and Brian have always done fine by me. I didn't even own a Backdraft but they were always very helpful resolving any issues I had with my SPF. Had they been a Superformance dealer I would still have my car.

If I were in the market for a Cobra now I would not hesitate to buy my car at Vintage.

I can only say Great shop, Great crew, Great ownership and very helpful with needs after the fact.

They lent me an engine stand, which I need to return, without blinking and eye and help with my Weber needs. Their shop is also what a shop should look like clean and orderly.

You should see the new place. I don't know what engine stand. Is it just a black stand for shipping? You are welcome to keep it as long as you need it.

My backdraft was delivered a year ago and I have bugged Jay and Brian ever since. Great people to work with. I am having some work done this winter at Vintage and I live in PA.
