Is Panoz Still In Business?

[teamlorenz]

I was in need for washers and bearings to rebuild my shifter but when I call the voice mail still says they are on Christmas vacation. I take it they are no longer in business.

Everything I have found says they are still in business. Their hours of operation were updated about 2 months ago.

Very much so and here's a bit of older news:

I guess the term "still in business" is a relative term. After calling and emailing I have not received a reply so I am going with not in business as far as I am concerned.

lucky I was able to figure out the shifter parts and got them from McMaster-Carr

I was just at the Panoz shop on August 11, on my way from Orlando to Tail of the Dragon. There is activity there, but not like it used to be. Still lots of GT-RA/GT-WC/GTS parts on the shelves in the warehouse.

When you call, press the extension number for Jamie Sullens and you'll likely have to leave a message.

Between McMaster-Carr and Coleman Racing (or pretty much any circle track shop), you can rebuild almost all chassis or suspension parts on these cars.

Thanks for the update. I did hear back from Jamie but by that time I got the parts from MCmaster. I did just call them yesterday about some other odd ball stuff.


Thanks

It must be me as this time I never heard back. That was 2 weeks ago.

Well then, get proficient at making your own parts or figuring out which circle track suppliers to buy them from.

Talked to Jamie a couple of weeks ago regarding body panels. Response is a bit slow, likely due to limited staff but they appear to still be in business.

Another race win running in VARAC in mid-September. Finished 2nd a week ago at CASC Celebration. Panoz cars are still quite competitive!

[teamlorenz]

yep Mark, that is what I have been doing. I was hopefully trying to support the Panoz company but it seem to difficult.

there are only a few parts that seem to be Panoz made besides the body.
