Red Barchetta said:TCP, as it used to exist, is gone. I would ASSuME that the company that purchased them would probably keep using the name because of the brand recognition. Kind of like how Mr. Gasket owns Mallory and Hurst, this company would probably just add TCP to their existing line. The only change I see is that all the manufacturing would be performed alongside their current products instead of using the original TCP people. I'm betting a new ad campaign, "NEW OWNERSHIP" kind of angle. That's just my SWAG.

Well, my SWAG is that I still won't be able to afford their stuff...Red Barchetta said:TCP, as it used to exist, is gone.

DukeGnarley said:well, if they are no more, then who's going to be supplying parts for the GT500-E/GT350SR?
I know who bought them, but I can't say anything because some people would get in trouble. I know how that sounds, but I don't see how there's anything to gain by leaking who bought them. If anything, the company would probably be inundated with phone calls asking questions they're probably not prepared to address.63_Fairlane said:Does anyone know who is buying them out?
That's one reason why I can't say who bought them. I don't know if they assumed all of TCP's liability/debt, or if they just bought the rights to the name and product design. As I said, they may use TCP as a product line, not as company. It could be that TCP will be known as the early model Mustang/Cougar/Maverick, etc line of parts that they're carrying. They might relable whatever their existing stuff is to fall under that "brand" to try and keep things consistent. Once again, all this is just my Scientific Wild Ass Guess.Edbert said:It all comes down to how the new owner will deal with the hundreds of people who were robbed by the former owner. If he makes all their orders good or refunds their money I think TCP will survive, if he doesn't I'll be glad to see them go down.
I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one who feels that way. I will never buy anything from them ever and I always steer people away from them if they ask me.....just for this very reason. When I found out that Mustang Plus was the sole distributor of TCP products I decided I would never buy anything of theirs. It is amazing how once M+ jacked the price of the rack up $800.DarkBuddha said:I just hope it isn't M+...Those guys pissed me off with their surly attitudes both times I've called them.
While I can't say who bought TCP, M+ was not the company I was told.DarkBuddha said:I just hope it isn't M+...Those guys pissed me off with their surly attitudes both times I've called them.
