This iconic hot rod was built approximately 10 years ago in California by people who really knew what they were doing, Ron Attebury Street Rods. The construction and attention to detail is nothing short of amazing. Starting with a 32 Ford frame correctly modified to fit the original steel T roadster body the front suspension is the first thing to bring about a "wow" from spectators. It consists of a tube axle mounted suicide style using unequal length 4-bars to match the reveal in the 32 frame. From there we have torsion bars similar to that in a midget that are enclosed in the frame, are adjustable for height and use equally adjustable friction shocks with cross steering. Rear suspension is a Ford 9" mounted on coil-overs and located by a triangulated 4-bar also. Powering this beauty is a gorgeous to look at 401 Buick nailhead with an ample supply of glitter and backed up by a 60s 400 Turbo with the Buick switch pitch converter. The engine and transmission were both built by a very professional shop, Centerville Auto Repair owned and operated by Russ Martin, the Buick Guru in Grass Valley,California in 2007 and now have 6900 miles. Both engine and transmission were built to stock specs so the package is easy to live with and trouble free. Receipts for this total in excess of $6k and indicate a rebore of .060 using block plates and a complete balanced assembly along with everything else used in the assembly. Brakes are 4WDB using C4 Corvette calipers. Headers and exhaust are a work of art in themselves as is the narrowed 40 Ford dashboard. Fuel and volt guages along with the headlight switch, electric trunk switch are hidden in the glove compartment. Wiring is excellent as is the upholstery with toggle switches for the switch pitch converter, fuel pump, ignition cut-off and dimmer along with the button for speedo calibration are under the dash within easy reach of the driver. Also under the dash along with the fuse box is a flip down enclosed panel containing the ignition coil, speedometer module, shift position light module and two 12 volt outlets. Battery(Optima) shut off is on the floor in front of the seat. There are also easily accessible battery charging posts inside the driver side frame rail and on the opposite frame rail are found the electric fuel pump, fuel shut-off valve and canister fuel filter. Steering column is a nicely done tilt unit but even so as the passenger compartment on a T is small this car is best suited for smaller individuals. The trunk is fully finished enclosing the battery and fuel fill. Wheels are excellent repro wires all with good tires the rear being 16.5" wide Hoosier street radials. This car starts, runs, drives and stops very well and needs nothing. NY title/registration is clear and in my name. No test pilots but rides freely given dependent on weather. The T is advertised locally so may be sold and removed from the auction at any time. Once the reserve is met the auction will play out and a local sale will not occur. Look at the multitude of photos in the listing and most questions will be answered but if not I will do my best to provide the answer you need.

2022 GMC Hummer EV No. 001 at Barrett-Jackson brings $2.5 million
Mon, Mar 29 2021This year's Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Ariz., played host to a bunch of the first examples of hot new cars: VIN No. 001 of the 2022 GMC Hummer EV, 2022 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and CT4-V Blackwing, 2021 Ford Bronco, 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 and 2021 Ram 1500 TRX. Every single one of them sold for more than six figures, with all the proceeds of nearly $5 million going to charities, but the big winner was absolutely the Hummer with a hammer price of $2.5 million. The Bronco did nicely, too, with a selling price of $1,075,000. You can see the list of the sale prices from highest to lowest of these first examples below. GMC Hummer EV: $2,500,000 Ford Bronco: $1,075,000 Ford Mustang Mach 1: $500,000 Ram 1500 TRX Launch Edition: $410,000 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing: $265,000 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing: $165,000 Despite the Hummer going for $2.5 million, it wasn't the most expensive car to cross the block. That honor goes to a 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake that was once owned by Carroll Shelby himself. It sold for $5.5 million, the same price it sold for back in 2007. Nearly as pricey as the Hummer was a restored, numbers-matching 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 that went for $2,475,000. Related video:
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
Detroit 3 and UAW could create healthcare pool
Thu, Sep 3 2015Healthcare costs continue to multiply in the US with no clear end in sight, but the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are negotiating a way to rapid growth under control. As part of the latest contract talks, the union has an idea to create a healthcare pool across all of its members at Ford, General Motors, and FCA US. If accepted, the company-wide integration would spread out the expenses and create a massive member base for bargaining with insurance companies. Both Ford and GM are at least considering the proposal, according to The Detroit News, and FCA US might be on board, as well. The idea is the work of current UAW president Dennis Williams and is based on the similar pool for the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association for retirees. "I've walked through this several ways; I just don't have any other answer," Williams said to The Detroit News. "I do believe this will work. It's worked with the VEBA." Williams was elected UAW president last year and won by an overwhelming margin. He vowed no more concessions to automakers. In addition to healthcare, the two-tier wage system is another major talking point in the contract negotiation because it gives fewer benefits to entry-level workers. Higher wages are also a request. Healthcare costs are a massive expense for automakers and are expected to reach over $2 billion this year, according to The Detroit News. The payments are up nearly 50 percent or more in just the last four years.
