TV’s “Tool Man” had the word, and the word was “power.” That’s what owners of vintage muscle cars want in their classic machines, and that’s what they can get with crate engines and automotive engines from Auto Parts Fair. For the uninitiated, a crate engine has been constructed by a performance shop or company using mix-and-match parts.

Auto Parts Fair welcomes customers seeking crate engines, both for their performance capabilities and for their competitive value in comparison to the cost of a new automotive engine direct from automobile makers.

Auto Parts Fair understands that a customer seeking a crate engine is a deep-down automobile aficionado, Read More…

I read an article this morning in the business pages stating that the automotive industry is dead and buried, or at least waiting to be buried because corporate undertakers have been so busy for the past 15 months that there is probably a long waiting list. I couldn’t help but think “are these journalists in the real world?” It’s really scary the stories they put out just to sell a newspaper or fill a small TV or radio news slot. Do journalists, apart from a very select few have any credibility these days or are they employed solely to seek bad news because the ghouls that follow them only want bad news? Certain parts of the automotive industry are suffering severe difficulties, that fact cannot be agued. However I haven’t noticed any automotive manufacturer making cars Read More…
