Is Halibrand back in Culver City for 2015?

It looks like they are just starting the website as very little inventory is on it (4 items 2 of which are shirts) copyright is 2015... anyone she'd any light on this?

the "non quickchange" rear end and description listed on the web site is a dead ringer for the Don Orosco unit. so, maybe it`s his deal.

This could get interesting, this one bills itself as "The New Halibrand"...............http://www.halibrand.com/index_frames.htm
but still has a Kansas phone number......same ol' guys that messed up a good thing?
Who's who at the zoo? I suppose the differences in name could avoid trademark infringement issues, but certainly could lead to confusion if nothing else.

 

Last I knew they were still in Wellington Kansas. A friend of mines customer ordered a set of wheels. It sounds like you place the order, give them your specs and they mill the wheels backspace and bolt pattern.

 

Curious to see where this all leads.

 

News to me. Thanks for the post. The Non-QC price at $1700 seems high to me and it appears to be just the casting. I do believe this is a new venture not the Kansas "New Halibrand". I will be following this for the V8 quick change housing and parts. I wonder if they acquired the old tooling or just developed the new technology?

 

I know tons if not most of the molds and tooling were sold years ago. I hope it goes back to the way it was before it moved to Kansas. I've always thought if I hit the powerball that's a brand I'd bring back to its original glory. I just can't pick the correct damn numbers! Haha

Funny that this came up, ran across a brochure from them I got back in the 90's. Watching also..

 

Lynn,
Take 118 East to the 405 South to Culver City, 43.1 miles according to Google. you may have to hang around the post office to find the CEO. Let us know what you find out.

 

Watching this post for updates as well. Man, is that what a no change center goes for new. I guess I never should have sold my original one.

 

I will be at the GNRS next week and should find out about the Culver City Halibrand Co.

 

No phone and no street address, sounds more than a bit shaky to me.

 

I am watching this my self....

 

Still no email back from the company. Maybe I'm just wishful thinking....

Can't return to the Heydays and todays California is not business friendly.

 

Pat O'Brien of Real Rodders Wheels is behind the relaunch of the Halibrand name...
