Barry Grant Carbs Is closing his doors after filing chapter 7 and liquidation .
As of today, February 18, 2011 we are ceasing operations at our Dahlonega location and all subsidiary locations. Working with all of you has been the experience of a lifetime. I will value your support as friends, customers, vendors, and media contacts forever. The economic situation has put the company in the position of not being able to find working capital needed to continue operations and get a chapter 11 reorganization plan through the court. In addition to this, is that all of our equipment has been breaking down causing production delays and further hurting cash flow. Reluctantly now we must convert to chapter 7 liquidation after 26 years of business. The financial collapse has closed, or has caused severe restructuring of many companies in our industry. Many individuals have lost everything. We have even lost our home. This is the most humbling experience of my life, and I have no future plans at this point. Thank You for Your Many Years of Support

That's so sad! I can't even imagine being in a situation so depressing.

Never heard of 'em.

I think so...

All these were owned by Barry Grant and now defunct

Mhm...think I've only heard of Demon.

Sucks that they went out of business. They have had quite a few quality control issues in the last few years so this didn't really surprise me to be honest.

a friend of mine bought a demon carb and luckily he opened it prior to the instalation,because it was full of metal shavings.

But on the other hand ive heard quite a few good things about those carbs. Do you think that we might expect some sort of sale now when they are closing?

The Road demon Jr i have seems to be a very nice carb. Too bad for him he even lost his home. Bet none of the big wall street guys that helped to cause the economy to tank lost their homes.

i have to buy one of those to try out, i hear they get great mileage due to small primaries. that would be great for long drives to the car shows where performance isnt the main goal

My dad tried both a Holley and a Edelbrock on his 70 Chevelle (396 BB) and it ran like total $#!T with both of them, no matter what. Went back to a good ole Rochester Quadra Jet.

i have an edelbrock on my 350 at the moment and im quite satisfied, but then again ive never owned anything else so i have nothing to compare it to. its a shitty carb/intake combo though, 500cfm carb atop of a single plane manifold. cant figure out what good is that.

how much do rochesters go for in the US?
