This is a 1923 Ford Model T Coupe also known as an Opera Coupe or a Doctor's Coupe. The car is an excellent driver and is really fun to drive - it really runs great! It has an electric starter but also can be started by the front crank without a battery using the magneto. I have started it both ways but it has more power when driving with the battery. Has a new 6 volt battery and carburetor was cleaned and rebuilt. Car was in a heated garage for about 20-24 years and is original. I am a perfectionist so I think it could use a paint job since there is a good amount of cracking along the hood hinge (see pictures) and it also has a couple of nicks on the fenders (again, please see pictures). Tires are in very good condition with no crazing (spare has some cracks in it but is still fine). Doesn't leak any oil and transmission works great. This is an original car and could use some interior work -- some of the welting fabric is loose and frayed. The body is in great shape as far as no rust anywhere -- all the steel is solid! Window regulators work but the passenger regulator slips. Car also has some options on the dash -- a wind up clock (needs work possibly) and an old APCO air freshener from the 1920's. Radiator is great - no leaks. Also of interest is the locking mechanism on the steering wheel -- believe this was an option not added by Ford but I am not 100% positive. Headlamps are electric but lights near cowl have kerosene wicks in them. Please feel free to ask any questions -- I am more familiar with the Model A's than the Model T but I have enjoyed driving this car -- it starts instantly and is a load of fun to drive once you get used to it!!! Selling because I need to make room in garage for another Model A. I've tried to provide the good and the bad in my description but again, if you have any additional questions or would even like to see a video of the car running/driving, please let me know and I'll be glad to send. I have a bill of sale but title is long gone - god knows what happened to it! Also of particular note, there is a brass plate on the passenger sill indicating the car was originally purchased from Burnett and Sherman Ford Lincoln Dealership in Boston, Massachusetts. Car is available for pickup in Kensington, CT. l

Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.
Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
