Maybe I should take my 1.7's made by them and store them. Think they'll be worth anything in 30 years? lol. naaaahhh I'd rather put them through some abuse.

mabye in thirty years i will be watching barret jackson and they will have a fox mustang with a super rare crane cam or rockers thats selling for half a mil...


what is really upsetting, is that a good american company is going out of buisness, and then i read things like this...

Other seemingly unending pork included things like $2 million for the promotion of astronomy in Hawaii, $200,000 for gang tattoo removal, $250,000 for security cameras in business districts in Pittsburg, $215,000 for Stony Brook University to teach scientists how to talk to the media.

They will probably sell the rights and the name to someone.

Says in numerous places that crane is closing thier doors, nothing about any closings or layoffs. I dont think motortrend is going to run a gossip story about one of the top aftermarket cam company's closing.

I still have half of a set of valve locks from them; they were the few, if only company that made the special set that I needed.

Calm down there buddy. I'll pull the Link where I read about it up later. Go to the Corral Its on their Crane thread. "Closing the doors" statement was in another site as a blog.Crane will not go out that quickly there web site says nothing about it.Once its on their website you know their done.

"""""Crane had a good run, but this week they closed up their New Jersey plant and laid off their remaining employees.""""" READ THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE it talks about closings and layoffs.This kid probably didn't even read this thing....

Read it fool
