Hello, I'm selling my 1926 Ford Model T roadster pickup. This is a mostly unrestored original vehicle. Over the years it has been painted, rewired with a correct replacement harness and the interior redone, but the running gear, frame, and axles appear original. There are a couple of cracks in the fenders. The bed has new wood in the floor. I think the bed is actually from a 1925, which is a little longer. The engine may never have been out, and appears to have never been rebuilt. The spark plugs are Wards that look to be from the 40's. It runs and drives perfectly. It has an electric starter, as well as the hand crank. It always starts, hot or cold, and always runs as it should. The original generator and cut-out regulator work fine, and you don't have to worry about the battery. The only modifications under the hood are an added modern fuel filter, and a modern flat tube radiator. They could be easily removed if you wanted 100% original. I have the original fuel screen that fits in the tank shut-off valve, and also the original radiator, which is perfectly functional. I put in the new radiator because I live in Tucson, where it regularly gets over 100 degrees, and T's don't have a water pump. The only gauge is amps, and it works fine. The original ignition/ light switch works fine. You start the car on the battery, then switch it to magneto. It all works perfectly. The planetary transmission shifts smoothly, and it has a desireable Ruxtell two-speed rear axle. I added two tail lights and a brake light switch for safe driving. The 21" wood spoke wheels are in good shape. The tires are older, but have good tread and are matching. The non- matching spare is in good shape and mounted on a rare original running board mount. It runs down the road at 40-45 MPH, and stops fine for a Model T. They are not at all like a newer car, but it is very driveable anywhere and any time if you know how to drive it. The throttle and spark advance are on the column, and the three pedals on the floor are 1st/ high gear, reverse, and brake. Look up driving a T on youtube for a lesson. It needs nothing, has recently been lubed and serviced, and is ready to go anywhere. The 6 volt battery is good. Please ask any questions before you bid. It is sold in as-is, where-is condition. I will drive it on to a transport, and give the driver a short lesson on moving it if you would like.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building
Wed, 31 Oct 2012After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
