1909 Ford Model T Tourabout. Well preserved older restoration of a very original car, AACA National First Prize Winner. The tourabout model was introduced later in the 1909 model year and discontinued in early 1911. This particular car has been in storage for over 20 years. Has the original open valve engine # 6361 with the one piece pan and correct transmission cover. It is equipped with a Brass Kingston carburetor. The coil box is wood but slightly newer to accommodate the later coils. The box has an original Kingston switch complete with the original key. Windshield is a Rands and the horn a Rubes. The front and rear axles are unique southern track, with one piece spindles in front, a six rivet rear and correct wheels front and back. It has E&J 466 headlights with good mirrors and burners along with E&J side and tail light. The upholstery is leather and in excellent condition. It has a lined top that is in very good condition. The body is very original, see photo of original front and back cushion frames. As I said it is an older restoration, national first prize in 1962, but the paint is still in remarkable condition. Body number matches the engine number. There is some minor cracking especially at any joints. Car runs and drives well, even runs on mag. It is located in northern NJ in a heated building. Please call me at 201-327-7621 to inspect the car. It will be sold as is where is. Email me for any further information. I have some history of the car. It was discovered by Bob Thayer who started collecting cars in 1922 and probably owned more than 600 cars in his lifetime. He was a very early member of AACA. All payments must clear before the car is released. I can store the car for some time provided it is paid for. Can arrange for delivery within 300 miles.

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
