Another Z-vendor bites the dust

[Guycali]

Not sure if everyone knew this but sadly, VR Engineering is no longer in business. They've ceased to operate since June 20, 2002. I have a feeling that fewer and fewer Z-vendors will remain in business as time goes by, just like the ever so decreasing quantities on NOS parts. So sad...

Yes VR is no longer taking orders but they do have there jigs & molds up for bid. They say there dropping it because of needing too focus on there real company in with airospace.

This sounds good but I think Ferrari may have had alittle hand in this aswell. They have shut down every other repro company that has done A Ferrari so...... Plus there cant be A whole ton of money in aftermarket bodies for Z cars anymore.:sleepy:

They did have a lot of interesting stuff like the convertable conversions

Hi all,

it's a pity that another vendor stopped Z conversions. I like the VR GTO spyder that I saw on pictures. Did you see the yellow one in www.ebay.com under cars/oldtimer/kitcars ? Nice car, would be nice to have.

Years ago I read an article about another kit car, a Cheetah !!!

The kit producer was located near Phoenix/Az. I wrote a letter to the adress that was mentioned in that article.The letter came back. Does anyone have informations on that car ?

"The kit producer was located near Phoenix/Az" was this C-R Cheetah Race Cars/Robert Auxier (Phoenix, Arizona) , they are in http://www.kitcar.com/consumeralert/home.html consumer alert page as being a "Problem kit car Firms (thankfully) no longer in business"

Don't know of any other Cheetah kits

Ivan,

thank you for the good info. Nevertheless it's a pity. I liked that Cheetah. There is not much information on the Cheetahs here in Germany. I think even most car enthusiasts don't even know about Cheetah. How is it in the US ?
