Chiming in.
I got this from talking to Brandon at the new phone number after I've been waiting on parts for my dinged up Roadster for going on 8 months.
Some time a few months back, the staff at Panoz split off to deal with car building while Dan Panoz is continuing on engineering, design, and "dabbling" with part fulfillment so as far as I'm aware, there are 2 addresses to keep in mind. Only problem is that the old phone number (Dan's part) are no longer being answered and all the VM are full.
Here's my situation...
My body shop girl spoke with Dan back in December at which point she heard that Brandon (Panoz's parts guy) was no longer working there (although there is still a VM specifically for him even today). She was working with Brandon to get my new fender and wheel out to me (which we did get), but we now needed parts to fix the messed up rear suspension. So my girl places an order with Dan for the necessary parts.
Fast forward 4 months, and I'm asking my body shop girl "WTF is taking so long". She indicates that VMs and emails to Dan are no longer being returned and that the order for the parts has never been charged.
I'm a lil erked. I'm getting involved. I knew about the new site and figured I'd give the new number a call. This gets me to a receptionist that -in a round about way- gets me to Brandon (the guy that no longer works at Panoz). After speaking to him, I got the skinny on the situation and needless to say, we had to cancel to parts order with Dan (engineering Panoz) to do the order thru Brandon (car manufacturing Panoz). Car manufacturing is also where John Leveret is listed as (per the new website).
This just went down a few days ago so wither or not the parts come is yet to be seen.
Just FYI.
