    Anyone have any luck tracking marty down after nw speed closed? I'd like to politely ask him for my $200 back.

    Thanks!

  2. It's really a shame Marty couldn't make NW Speed work out.

    He had some neat parts.

    I guess Im one of the lucky ones. I but a log 6x2 for my 425 from him. Very nice product, recieved it in just 3 days and even followed up to see if I got it. This was 6 months ago...

    this is Marty on eBay

    he has some active auctions as of now. May try that route...

    He moved his whole business out from under the NW Speed name and into using Eelco as the new business name.

    I hope that was a drama free statement.

    Here's a phone number he gave in one of his EBay feedback replies on 9/21/06 for someone who didn't get directions.

    (503) 651-3352

    you are correct, When I bought my manifold he told me then that it would not say NW Speed on the manifolds but would say Eelco. He said that he was dropping the NW Speed name..

    He's got a great way of trying to tell you that you are the ONLY one that's he's ever had a problem dealing with and that's when all the four letter words you would like to hear come out. He's a big joke in the NorthWest with the locals- just takes a lot longer for the word to get around the whole country- and while it does he'll just keep changing his name and moving from product to product. Cody cleaned up his mess with the Hurst tires- eventually someone will bail out the EELCO deal. He does make enough of an effort selling the new stuff to satisfy a few people, but NEVER buy any vintage tin or old car parts from him or you will be SORELY dissapointed- I know a few that the whole car NEVER even showed up and he said the was not his responsibility- when it left his shop (on HIS friends trailer) all his liability eneded there!
