1960 Morgan Drophead Roadster (not Jaguar, Triumph, Mg, Austin, Daimler, Allard) on 2040-cars
Spring Lake, New Jersey, United States
|
Morgan Plus 4 , drophead. Very nice, privately owned, low mileage, 44000 mile car. Always garaged. Canvas top that has not been put into service for years. Car was restored about 2000, with fresh paint and a new top. Runs excellent . Shows very nicely. Paint has good gloss to it. A few minor chips that can touched up, if striving for absolute perfection, and a chip in the bumper chrome- if I am to criticize this gorgeous car. I am assisting a good friend in selling his car, as he is now 89 years of age and realizes it is time to let go of it. Vredestein Dutch tires, replaced 2 years ago, with about 100 miles on them at most. He only drives the car to the local Jersey Shore Classic British Car Show. http://pedc.org/events/brits-on-the-beach/ The owner purchased the car in 1991 with 27,350 miles on the odometer and has logged 17,000 miles in 23 years. The car has always been kept in a dry garage. It is painted the original dark red, almost a burgundy, and has the original black leather interior. The rims have been powder coated. The Morgan is ready to drive and be enjoyed for many years to come. The engine is the original TR3 Triumph engine, 1991 cc, with 2 upgrades performed- a spin on oil filter adapter and pertronix electronic ignition. A spare distributor comes with the car. The car is fitted with front disc brakes from new. The side curtains are in great shape, very rarely used! https://morganhistoryinfo.sharepoint.com/Pages/DropheadCoupeSpecial.as http://www.supercars.net/cars/1183.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_%2B4 |

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response
Fri, Jan 25 2019Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky
Sat, Jun 26 2021The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic. The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice. For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

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.
