I certainly wasn't thinking that anyone here would be interested in investing, but thought the group may want to see the message for what it's worth. If it's too lengthy and doesn't add any informational value, you can feel free to delete it. I honestly didn't realize how long it was until I started pasting it in.

Good information to share in my opinion.

Personally it appears the smoke and mirrors business strategy is carrying forward. This country's bankruptcy laws create more victims than they aide.

No Brandon, I think you were right in posting this up. It shows what dream world this guy lives in. No qualified investor would give him a nickel. Think about it...I just screwed you, my track record sucks, and now I want you to invest more money (in a losing proposition no doubt) because you're the only chump I can find to put your hard earned money down.

No thanks, Shaft-ie.

Wait till Greg gets ahold of this

I was lucky enough to not be involved with them financially. Somehow I ended up on their email distribution list. I wish I could find the one from a few years ago - where he was selling cheap Chinese 4-wheelers etc.. It made no sense?

Edit - - I found the email dated 8/10/2011, but's it's a bunch of embedded pics. That email was a bit of turning point for me to say - - - Really not sure I understand what the hell they are doing, so I'm going to steer clear.

Yeesh, what a $hit$show.

Glad I didn't have any money out to that guy.

That aside, I'm excited to see what Bowler & Legend are able to do with their partnership.

Yep --- Where there is a "void" --- someone will come along and fill it. By the time Shafti gets back in business.... all those "sold orders" will have been filled by someone else.

Couldn't run one so let's start up another with OPM!! (OPM - Other Peoples Money).














Greetings!

To everyone affected by the closing of Keisler Engineering Inc .... I am very very sorry for this event. It has impacted many people - customers, vendors, families and employees. And my wife and kids have also been affected as we lost our home, farm and savings and other personal assets. These are tough times, but I am now working very hard to assemble a group of investors to purchase the KE Inc assets (Inventory, Equipment, Tooling, Designs, Trademarks, Phone Numbers, Website, more) from the Bankruptcy Court and start a new company. I need to raise approximately $500,000 to start the brand new company that will allow me to FILL ALL OPEN SALES ORDERS of KE. IF we can raise $800,000 in total, we can move the market forward with the build of the newly designed Super Sport 6-speed that Chief Engineer Dick McCord and I recently completed in 2013. PLEASE HELP ME BRING THE AMERICAN INNOVATION OF KEISLER ENGINEERING INC BACK TO THE MARKET by referring potential investors to me here: [email protected]

NOTE FEB 4 2014 : THE EMAIL ANNOUCEMENT BELOW WAS SENT JANUARY 23. I AM RESENDING IT AGAIN BECAUSE SOME CUSTOMERS WERE NOT ON THE MAILING LIST. ALSO, I HAVE ADDED A SECTION ABOUT THE DRIVESHAFTS FOR THOSE NEEDING THEIR DRIVESHAFT.

Last Thursday January 16, I ceased operations of Keisler Engineering Inc by filing it into a Chapter 7 Liquidation Bankruptcy. This was a sad day for our customers, vendors, employees and families, many of which had been with us for 5-10 years. And this brought to a close a 22 year long run of the company I started in my garage in 1991 that grew to become the innovator and leader of the 5-speed overdrive transmission market for muscle cars and Corvette.
