Up for auction is a T Bucket Roadster. I am selling this car for a friend that inherited it from his grandfather. This car is titled as a "homebuilt". It began construction in 1966 in Southern California and is titled as a 1966. My friends grandfather purchased it in the late 70s and owned it until he passed a few years ago. In the early 90s, he had the car repainted and a new interior installed, both are still in excellent condition. The last upgrade that he completed was in the late 90s when he converted the front drum brakes to discs. It is powered by a 1958 Corvette 283 with a turbo 350 3 speed automatic transmission and a 9" ford posi trac rear end. It is a fiberglass bucket with steel tube frame. I'm not sure what the gear ratio is, but the car is very driveable. It has an electric fuel pump and internally regulated alternator. It has a Holly Street Dominator intake mankifold and the factory corvette valve covers. The odometer shows 25,727 miles, but I can not guarantee the accuracy. The engine and trans have no leaks, but the rear diff has a very slight leak, common problem with 9" Fords. The emergency brake is a drive shaft mounted disc brake with a pull handle in the floor. Front suspension is all chrome, in excellent condition with the inverted leaf spring. Rear suspension is the same inverted leaf spring with air shocks that are good. The dash has a fuel gauge, amp meter, temp, oil pressure and speedo, all work. When he decided to sell the car, we installed a new battery and a new carburetor, Edelbrock polished. We replaced one brake line and flushed the brake system. The header side pipes have baffles in them, so it is not incredibly loud, but it does thump! I am located in Olathe, KS, southwest side of Kansas City and will show the car any time. The car runs and drives great and is absolutely an "Old School hot rod". I am selling this car with no reserve, It will sell! Please ask questions early so I have time to provide adequate answers. I can provide additional pictures if you like. I will require a $500 deposit through Pay Pal within 24 hours of auction end and the balance paid in cash or cashiers check within 7 days. I will assist with loading if you have the car shipped and I can store the car for up to 14 days. If you need additional terms, please have those agreed upon prior to acution end. Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
