The entire life of the car has been in Wisconsin and I am the third owner.  I purchased the sport coupe on October 8, 2004 from a local woman after the death of her husband.  The car had been restored in the late 1990's.  Recently, the original license plates were found by the widow and are included.  The restoration included a LeBaron Bonney interior and top, fabric rumble seat and body repainting using the original Copra Drab DDL 440 color and black fenders.  Several veteran members of the local Model A Club knew of the car and quality of restoration.  The sport coupe is authentic (excluding the luggage rack) including the early 1928 red steering wheel, nickel plating of the radiator shell and headlights.  The engine is original.  The car went through a complete rework (including necessary part replacement) procedure which was done by the president of the Model A Club during the remainder of October 2004.  Available on request is a five page analysis of the codition of the car at purchase and the new related rework including listing of all parts.  Major items include:  carburetor, door hardware and glass, electrical systems, manifold gasket, exhaust system, spark plugs, hoses, speedometer, water pump, fan belt, distributor, painting of engine, rewiring of instrument panel, kingpin, rear axle grease seals.  Additional work after 2004 includes:  2006 - new brake work including brake shoes, reface of brake drums, new front and rear roller pin and floater.  2007 - replacement of 7 tooth steering box, shaft and new spines.  2009 - new battery and replacement of generator (which  is available if requested) with alternator.  2010 - new spindle bolt set.  2012 - new front outer bearing.  The speedometer was not functioning when I purchased the car in 2004.  New speedometer installed in 2004 has 4300 miles on the odometer.  Included is a notebook of all service records and invoices of all work from 2004-2013.  The car has been unique to the Model A Club which includes only three sport coupes.  It has been a fun car to enjoy as it received many compliments and attracted many photographers.  It represents an aesthetically simplistic appealing period of automotive history.  Age and a hip replacement has prevented me from driving, so it is time to let someone else enjoy the experience, pride and joy of ownership.

BMW to follow Honda back into F1?

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
