Barry Grant closes its doors for good To Whom It May Concern: Working with all of you has been the experience of a lifetime. I will value your support as friends, customers, vendors, and media contacts forever. The economic situation has put the company in the position of not being able to find working capital needed to continue operations and get a chapter 11-reorganization plan through the court. In addition to this , is that all of our equipment has been breaking down causing production delays and further hurting cash flow. Reluctantly now we must convert to chapter 7 liquidation after 26 years of business. The financial collapse has closed , or has caused severe restructuring of many companies in our industry. Many individuals have lost everything . We have even lost our home. This is the most humbling experience of my life, and I have no future plans at this point. Thank You for Your Many Years of Support . As of today February 18th, 2011 twelve noon we have closed all operations at our main plant and all subsidiary location. Sincerely, Barry Grant Thank You, Scott Witmer Sales and Production Manager Barry Grant Inc 706-864-8544 ext. 131 www.barrygrant.com
Yes they were the maker of the bg demon carburator.Sad to see all the companies closing with this economy.
Great carbs - a tad on the pricey side but you get what you pay for. Hopefully someone other than the "usual suspects" will pick up the baton and continue to build, refine, and develop these great carbs, although it seems as though the world is moving so fast toward fuel injection that carbs will be a head scratcher to most people in the not too distant future. I don't know if BG was doing anything in that regard or not.
Personally, I have never used a Demon carb, but, I would if I was building a carbed engine again. I have friends that are using them on their built cars and they are performing great. I never liked a Holley and trying to find good QJ's is becoming more difficult all the time. But! What happens now if the guy's running Demons need factory tweaking or info?? This is a real shame. The guy built a good product and came from the other side of the tracks to become a successful manufacturer. Now.....gone. I'm from the old school, as most here know, but, I DO like fuel injection for a lot of reasons. Just as many reasons to like a good carb, though. Maybe more.
