This is a used switch removed from a 1949 Ford transmission. Old, a bit crusty but usable. Look carefully at the photos.
Brand:Borg Warner overdrive system for Ford Warranty:Yes Surface Finish:older, crusty, usable tests good. Country/Region of Manufacture:United States

This is a lockout switch for a 1949 or 1950 Ford transmission with the overdrive.   It mechanically "locks out the transmission from going into reverse when the overdrive is engaged.   Book sez the '51s didn't have it so I'm not sure how they prevented the issue.

The wires are still there, marked "to governor" and to "kickdown switch".  These are the old, original wires--you will want to upgrade them.

From Grampa's garage.  He  had lots of old car parts that we found after he died and we are trying to find a home for them.  Hopefully someone can still use them.

This switch tests good in the way that it conducts continuity until the button is pressed when it breaks continuity.  

Good luck with your bidding, thanks for looking and considering...

Our conversation was long and it covered a number of topics. Rather than cut out a bunch of the interview and try to boil it into one short video, we've produced three videos.

Bugatti's 100P dream airplane to soar for the first time at the Mullin Automotive Museum

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

Ettore Bugatti, perhaps bored with building such extravagant symbols of single-minded genius like the Royale, devised a staggering work of aeronautical wonder that never saw the light of the day. Threatened by the twin insurmountable forces of deadlines and war, the Bugatti 100P never made it to the skies. Bugatti wanted to tackle the Deutsch de la Meurthe Cup Race -- the brainchild of one Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe, the wealthy petroleum businessman who birthed Europe's oil industry in his native France.

As predicted earlier by CAR, here is the new Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder – essentially an open-top Balboni. It’s a rear-wheel drive Gallardo roadster and will cost £158,797.60 in the UK. We love that 60 pence bit of the price tag!
