All,
I'm a new member to the list and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Brian Buxton and I am located in Southern Indiana. I own a dealership that specializes in the nationwide sales, locating and consignment of highline European sports and luxury vehicles, but I am also a new Panoz and now a Mallett Corvette dealer. Although I am very active in the Porsche Club of America, my love of cars began with the Corvette - I've owned two personally. A 1968 427/435 Roadster w/ tri-power and an 86 coupe. Just wanted to say "hi" to everyone.
A press release I recently sent out is below. I'd love to hear from some of you, and I look forward to making more friends in the future! I'm sure I'll put some names to faces at events hosted by the National Corvette Museum, or maybe at Tweeks. I'll probably hit some other forums, so please excuse me if you see this message more than once!
Best,
Brian

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 11, 2002
BUXTON MOTORSPORTS, INC. ACQUIRES ANOTHER NEW VEHICLE LINE
Evansville, IN - Buxton Motorsports, Inc. - Panoz of
Evansville is proud to announce the addition of another
factory authorized new vehicle line to our company - Mallett
Corvettes. Buxton Motorsports, Inc. was founded in
September 1997 by owner and company President Brian Buxton.
Buxton has always had a passion for automobiles that
deliver the highest levels of performance, safety and
styling, and is proud to be the only authorized Mallett
Corvette dealer in the United States.
Mallett Corvettes utilize race-quality components and are
completely hand built to exacting specifications then
checked and rechecked for the highest standard of exactness
and quality. The Mallett 396, 435 & Z06 Hammer are much
more than a powerful engine or a trick suspension setup.
They are complete packages, with each system designed to
complement and enhance the performance of the others. The
packages are so complete that Mallett Cars Ltd. is the only
Corvette tuner who is recognized by the NADA automobile
price guide company. Their quality is such that they are
guaranteed to be trouble-free by a 2 year/24,000 mile
warranty that is in addition to the GM 3 year/36,000 mile
factory warranty. Not that you would need it - in 5 years
of being in business and thousands of miles logged on
Malletts, there has *never* been a warranty claim on a
Mallett Corvette package.
*Pricing for the 475 hp Mallett Z06 Hammer begins at
$64,305.00, and buyers can choose a variety of packages and
options up to the 800 hp supercharged 7.0 liter Mallett 435.
Although this model can run the 1/4 mile in 9.0 seconds at
over 155 mph., it is also docile enought to be used as a
reliable daily driver!
In addition to new Mallett Corvette and Panoz sales and
leasing, Buxton Motorsports also offers the true automobile
enthusiast nationwide sales, locating, brokering, and
door-to-door enclosed delivery of the world's finest new or
pre-owned sports and luxury automobiles. Our specialty is
specialty cars, and we purposely limit ourselves to selling
what we know and love. You don't need us to help you buy a
Jeep Grand Cherokee and you most likely won't see a Lexus
in our inventory. But you will find the best examples of
offerings from Audi, BMW, Caterham 7, Corvette, Dodge Viper,
Ferrari, Jaguar, Lotus, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and many
other manufacturers.
Buxton Motorsports, Inc. is located on the North side of
Evansville in the Highway 41 North Business Park (at the
intersection of Highway 41N and Mt. Pleasant Road). Please

www.BuxtonMotorsports.com for more
information on the company, Mallett Corvettes, the Panoz
Esperante and our wide variety of other products and services.
