The Art Carr in Cali is the Original Art Carr.... I think, crap now I can't remember Grrrrrrr

They were in Freso, then moved to Reno. They then sold the name or something and all hell broke loose and they are still going through legal battles.... I had great results with the real Art Carr products in my Mustang GT (S-Trim + 351).


IU guess you can always call and ask them. Pretend you're a detective hahaha
