We could only hope it's true.
My question is why would the Don want to buy that?
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

Last I saw, it was nothing more than a rumor.

I have no idea if there was ever any basis for those rumors or not.....but when I heard it, that's the same thought I had.

I'm sure that's what you were told but the Truth is that the deal was 90% done but at the last minute the buyer backed out.
You need ISO certifications to sell parts to Mopar and if you have ever seen the Indy process, ISO certs would be a complete reboot of the company.
It's still for sale and there are people that are actively searching for a buyer

Such a pain in the a$$ , one hand it's not a bad thing on the other it's driven out a few good companies...for me it's narrowed done the competition.
Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth.
Some of us are so open minded they only see their View

What parts were they to supply Mopar with? If I had to guess Indy would be a Mopar Performance cylinder head and intake supplier or become Mopar Performance outright. Kevin

It's still for sale and there are people that are actively searching for a buyer Ahh come on, ISO certs for Indy would be easy. I could write up the process that Indy follows in about 30 seconds! I think it is something like this: 1. Scream at the customer and tell them they are stupid 2. Machine the parts blindfolded 3. Throw parts in a box. Any box will do. 4. Charge extra 5. When customer calls to complain repeat step 1. There, now you are ISO certified and you will pass any ISO inspection. The motto of ISO is "document what you do and do what you document".

For sure what Andy said. The any box will do thing would be funny if it weren't true. Received a pred tunnel ram in a KFC bulk biscuit box, no bs. Nothing like having the help ask you "what did you order from KFC, aren't you fat enough"? lol Ken Lazzeri (sp?) is a pretty big guy, maybe it was HIS box first?
