1927 Model Tt Wrecker Wood Body on 2040-cars
Bremen, Indiana, United States
|
Up for Auction is my 1927 wood body wrecker. I purchased this body and bed on a chassis that I think was about a 1922. The chassis was in poor shape and needed about everything. It just happen that I was able to get a 1927 Model TT chassis that looked to be in good shape. I sold the chassis that came with the body and mounted the body on this newer chassis and tried to start the engine. After a little time I was able to get it to run, but it was not running right. Pulled the head and found a crack in the block. I had another block but it was a 1925 engine and I started to rebuild it. The bearings were good on the rods and mains. I did put new high compression pistons in it. I also had all the exhaust seats replaced and all new stainless valves with new springs and lifters. I put oil dippers on the rods and drilled the rod caps. I kept the 27 transmission and totally rebuilt it. All new bushings and roller tail bearing. I balanced all the rotating parts and magnetized the magnets. Replaced the mag. coils with a rebuilt one. Rebuilt the coils, starter, and generator. It starts on mag and runs like a top. I put a warford three speed transmission in it to help it move a little faster down the road. It also makes it great for parades in the low gear too. All four tires are new. replaced any parts needed to make it reliable and save to drive. I brush painted the chassis with black chassis paint. I had to paint the hood due to dents and missing paint, but I have not painted the fenders or any of the body parts. The fenders have some rust at the lower area by the running boards. I did have a new seat cushions made for it. I put the Weaver wrecker unit on it and the fuel tank. It has a compression whistle, exhaust train whistle and ahooga horn on it. They all work great. I did put the cowl lights on it for looks and all the headlights and brake lights work great. I might have put 200 miles on it since everything was rebuilt. I have a clear Indiana title for the truck.
This wrecker gets looks everyplace I take it. I put a 1924 plate on it that my brother happen to have and it is not included with the truck!! Please ask questions before bidding!!!! You can call for more information # 574-250-six6three4 |

Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 23 Sep 2013In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.
Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
