Wilcox-crittenden Throttle Control, C.1965 on 2040-parts.com
Palmyra, New Jersey, United States
|
Motorboat throttle control from 1960s. Bronze, brass, chromed brass. Indexed quadrant with 1/4-20 female threads - you must make an adapter (simple piece of brass) to accommodate modern 1/4-28 Morse-type '33C' cables, but other than that it's entirely usable for any small powerboat. Would look exceptionally good on an old Lyman, Chris Craft, Elco houseboat, any boat with a wooden dashboard in which to mount the throttle. Very rare, very desirable. Beautiful, never-installed, essentially new from leftover Sea Scamp inventory. No mounting hardware (use chromed, SS, or bronze screws).
I hate to part with this but I'm no longer building the boat I'd have used it on. This part is essentially irreplaceable - you won't find one in as-new condition anywhere! I am in the boating trade and priced this reasonably based on what I know of antique and new-old-stock parts, of which I have many more. Please put this lovely old part to good use! |

2013 Ford Mondeo launches in China. UK & Europe still waiting.
Thu, 04 Apr 2013With the UK and Europe having to wait until 2014 to get the new Ford Mondeo, Ford has managed to launch the new Mondeo in China this week. Of course, as we reported last year, it’s entirely possible that with Mondeo sales now just half of what they were in 2008 that Ford may even move Mondeo production to Mexico to build it alongside the Ford Fusion, the US version of the Mondeo which has been on sale since summer 2012. But Ford are adamant the move to Spain for the Mondeo is happening and, once complete, will mean Ford finally rolling the new Mondeo off the production line by the end of 2013 for the UK and Europe.
U.K. seller gives his 2001 Focus a colorful pitch on eBay
Fri, 15 Apr 2011It's unlikely that many people in the United States are interested in buying a right-hand-drive 2001 Ford Focus Ghia with more than 107,000 miles on the odometer. For starters, you'd have to import it from the U.K. But if this car doesn't sell on eBay it won't be for lack of effort--or creativity--by the seller.
Lamborghini Veneno roadster leaked in pictures
Fri, 18 Oct 2013The insane Lamborghini Veneno has spawned a roadster version, if Internet rumors and pictures are to be believed. Rumors of the roadster surfaced back in July, when CEO Stephan Winkelmann told Car and Driver that a convertible Veneno will be produced and sold at price near $4.5 million. We're hearing that it may actually carry a price tag of around $5.3 million.
