Yes he did BUY a car, it never left the dealer, never had an install. He then panicked and sold the car as well as the engine, apparently at a loss. Pretty common when you don't follow through and then try and sell in the "off" season. Most pople that buy a previous owned vehicle regardless of make , especially a Cobra like to see some miles on it so that any "bugs" are worked out. His "nervousness" was most likely felt by the purchaser(s). One option is that he acted as a middle man if there were warranty issues, since it was never completed, but that must not have been something he considered. I have had dealings with SPF dealers from N.C.,Ohio, Louisiana(now Texas) and Lance in Ca. and have never had any problem even when the items were past the year warranty. It would seem that it is much a do about nothing. IF there is a warranty issue that is not addressed in a forthright manner, any complaints he had would be open territory. Hard to warranty something that is inoperable. If he let it sit at a dealer for a year after purchase before picking it up would he expect a year warranty still? I remember a Chevy dealer in the late 60s that kept replacing a Corvette engine for someone that was blowing them up, pretty much on a monthly basis. After the 3rd engine they kept it in the shop until the warranty expired because of obvious( I knew the guy) abuse/neglect. These are not turnkey cars and some things are not the responsibilty of the dealer/Mfg., they fall to the owner and/or installer, and/or engine builder.
