Very nice 1974 Jensen Healey. The car sports its original 2 litre, 16 valve, twin overhead cam
Lotus engine and the car has only 87,785 on the odometer. The Jensen Healey is very rare having a limited
production run and in 1974 only 7,142 where produced so you don't see these cars very often. I purchased the car
from a doctor who owned, loved and took care of this rare Jensen Healey for over 30 years.
Mechanically: The car runs and drives great. The car starts right up with no issues or smoke and holds very good
oil pressure. The car was recently serviced which included a tune up, carburetors tuned and balanced, oil change,
new brake master cylinder, new windshield wiper blades. transmission & rear end fluids serviced and all other
fluids toped off. Also, this week a complete new exhaust system was installed. The car shifts up / down through all
gears with no bidding or grinding of the gears. The car drives true and straight and the steering is tight and
responsive. At this time I know of nothing the car needs other that to be driven and enjoyed.
Electrical's: This area is in excellent condition with the following items in working order. Headlights ( high &
low beam ) work , wipers work, front & rear turn signals work, front & rear running lights work, front and rear
side marker lights work, brake lights work, backup lights work, license plate lights work, dash gauge lights work,
radio works, hazard switch works, cigarette lighter works and blower fan works. Note: The stereo was just replaced
this week.
Gauges: All gauges are correct and original "Smith" brand and are in proper working order. The car does also
retains its original Jeager dash clock that works on again off again.
Interior: Nice presentable driver quality as shown in the photos.
Exterior: This is a nice driver quality exterior with like new radial tires. The car sits nicely on the ground
with no signs of leaning or sagging. As seen all body panels, hood, trunk, wheel arches, dog legs and doors are
straight.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
