1973 Mercury Montego with 37,000 original miles It sure looks like this sweet early 70's luxury muscle car has been living in a time capsule with only 37,000 original miles. This golden beauty was purchased from an elderly couple that no longer drove the car. It was basically stored in a garage for virtually its entire 40 year existence. It would be very hard to find a classic car with such low mileage at whatever nominal amount this beauty ends up selling for. Anyone who looks at this car can tell that the mileage is original. This car was factory undercoated when it was brand new, and it was always well taken care of by the original owners. It is hard to find a car with the floors, frame, and trunk in this condition on a 40 year old car. There is barely any noticeable rust on the body except for what is visible in the pictures. The chrome is all extremely nice, and the front bumper has its original bumper guards. All of the rubber gaskets and seals are all in very good condition. This car has all of its original panels, so everything opens and closes like new. You simply don't see these olds classics with their original split vinyl tops like this. The factory decals and markings are all still in their original locations. They just don't make cars like this anymore. This is a wonderful candidate for a Montego GT re-creation. All the new owner would need is the scooped hood, and a sweet 429, and this car would look absolutely incredible being upgraded to the next level. However with the original numbers matching straight six cylinder engine, you can save on gas, and maintain the originality of this antique vehicle. The original radio was replaced with an AM/FM Cassette player that works well, although it looks like it fit right into the factory opening, so the dash was never cut up. If the next owner would like to put in a factory AM/FM I'm sure the dash would still look perfect. There are no cracks in the dash pad. The drivers side door has the sport mirror painted to match the body. This car steers very nicely with power steering and power brakes. Both the horn and the lighter still work. The original owner's manual is included in the glove compartment. In fact I can't think of anything that doesn't work. The interior is in very nice condition with sporty high back bucket seats in the front, and the back seat looks like it may only have been used once or twice in the last 40 years. All the seat belts are there, and even the shoulder belts. The headliner looks like brand new. All the glass is in nice condition with no cracks or chips. This car just had a new fuel pump and line installed last week, plus a brand new battery. There is a matching set of four old school B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A steel belted radials mounted on a set of four Magnum 500 wheels with all four centers, and all four beauty trim rings. It seems like the original bias ply full size spare tire is brand new unused, and still holding air. The original jack and crow bar are also in the trunk, so if there is a mishap on the road, you can be on your way safely with a quick tire change. The original steel wheels and the matching set of factory original hubcaps all in good shape will be included in the trunk. This cool old Merc should be all set for a full summer of pleasure cruising, or I really believe it could be used as an everyday driver. It should be very reliable for many years to come. This would make a great second car, or an awesome larger safe car for that new teenage driver in the family. If there were ever a collision with a newer car, I'm fairly certain the other car would lose. Fly in and drive home after the auction is over. General Mitchell Airport in South Milwaukee is less than a half hour away, and I would be more than happy to pick up the winning bidder if they would like. I also have a wonderful retired couple that will deliver cars relatively inexpensive within the tri-state area. I would be happy to pass along their information. This is a prime opportunity to become part of the wonderful world of the muscle and classic car community at a reasonable price. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide has the base model 1973 Mercury Montego listed at $10,300 in high condition $6,100 in average condition, and $3,175 in the lowest possible condition, meaning a car that needs a complete restoration. I have to say this car appears in much better than average condition in my eyes, so whatever this car sells for it will be a sweet deal. This Mercury has great investment potential!! All classic cars have shown to consistently appreciate in value with almost every quarter. This is a great car to take to the local car shows in your area to be part of the excitement. I try to list everything I can think of when I describe a car, but if there is anything you feel I may have missed, please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. I haven't seen one of these on the road in over 20 years, so chances are the new winner will own the only one anywhere around their neighborhood. After winding down from a nice Memorial Day weekend don't forget to place your bid by 8pm Eastern time, 7pm Central time, or 5pm Pacific time on Monday evening. This is a "No Reserve" auction, so it will be sold to the highest bidder. Hall of Fame Harriet is not included with the purchase. Thank you for viewing my auction! Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels
Tue, 22 Jan 2013During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.
Detroit Three to lose dominance of North American auto output in 2017
Wed, Sep 27 2017DETROIT — North American vehicle production by the unionized Detroit Three automakers will fall behind the combined North American output of Tesla and automakers from Europe and Asia for the first time this year, IHS Markit forecast on Wednesday. In 2017, the Detroit Three could build 8.6 million vehicles in North America, while Tesla and foreign automakers build 8.7 million, IHS Markit analyst Joe Langley said. By 2024, the gap will widen, with Asian and European automakers and Tesla combining to build about 9.8 million vehicles in North America. General Motors, Ford and the North American operations of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV will combine to build 8.1 million vehicles, down 6 percent from this year. Mexico is on track to increase its share of North American vehicle production, Langley said, moving to 4.5 million vehicles a year by 2024 from about 4 million vehicles currently. The milestone for the growth of Tesla and foreign automakers in North America comes as the Trump administration is pushing to limit imports of vehicles from Mexico in negotiations to overhaul the North American Free Trade Agreement. The declining share of North American vehicle production for the Detroit automakers also challenges U.S. and Canadian unions that represent their workers. Canadian workers are on strike at a GM factory in Ontario to protest the automaker's decision to cut jobs and move to Mexico some production of sport utility models built there. Foreign automakers over the past year have announced plans for a wave of new or expanded plants in North America, while Tesla is ramping up to build as many as 500,000 cars a year at its plant in Fremont, Calif. Often referred to as "transplants," the foreign-owned factories are poised to become the mainstream of the North American auto industry. Automakers are increasingly using factories in China or Mexico to build vehicles that used to be assembled solely in the United States, Langley said. He cited as an example Ford's decision to shift production of the Focus small car for North America to a Chinese assembly plant.

President Trump to visit Michigan on Wednesday to attend auto-related event
Mon, Mar 13 2017President Trump will visit the Detroit area on Wednesday for the first time since taking office, the Detroit News reports this morning, to meet with officials of automakers, suppliers and unions, and to attend a rally of autoworkers. Trump might use the event to announce his intentions to roll back fuel-economy standards for cars and trucks. The automakers agreed to the standards, which set a goal of a fleet average 54.5 miles per gallon by the year 2025, under President Obama, but they have lobbied Trump to repeal them. "This is a continuation of a dialogue with the auto industry leaders, and also going back and reconnecting with a lot of the people who elected him," Chris Liddell told the News. Liddell is former chief financial officer of General Motors and now assistant to the president for strategic initiatives at the White House. Trump might also use Wednesday's visit to advocate the House Republicans' proposed replacement for the Affordable Care Act. Later Wednesday, he will attend a campaign-style rally in Nashville, and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has said the president intends to hit the road to sell the American public on the Obamacare replacement plan. The auto industry has been high on Trump's agenda - and a focus of his rhetoric to return manufacturing jobs and facilities to the United States. During his first week in office, Trump met privately at the White House with the CEOs of Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler, and GM CEO and Chairman Mary Barra and Ford CEO Mark Fields are members of Trump economic advisory groups. He has criticized Ford and GM for making cars in Mexico and took credit when Ford scrapped plans for a new plant there.
