1923 Ford T-bucket Custom Street Rod on 2040-cars
Round Rock, Texas, United States
This beautiful T-bucket is amazing to drive, very fast and gets tons of attention. Like any street rod that's driven, this one isn't perfect. It is very good though, and it wouldn't take much to bring her up to show condition. Unfortunately, I'm losing the use of my garage, and that's forcing me to put this super-fun car up for sale.
The motor is a pre-Vortec 350 Chevy crate motor with a mild street cam. It's been assembled with a Weiand 8004 intake, Edelbrock 1406, Edelbrock Pro-Flo air filter, Holley mechanical fuel pump, Holley regulator and Flame Thrower HEI. The transmission is a TH400 professionally rebuilt by Eagle Transmission just last year. The rear end is a Ford 8" with 2.79 gears. The shifter and parking brake are Lokar. In addition to the transmission, the following items were installed/replaced within the last 12 months:
Bugs: This car is equipped with Intellitronix digital gauges. They all work fine except the speedometer, which sometimes indicates a few MPH when the car is standing still with the motor running. I have also seen the speedometer black out once in a while. I suspect this is due to a loose ground somewhere, but haven't had time to look into it. The gauge manufacturer is still in business if you need support, or the entire cluster could simply be replaced or updated. This car has a clear Texas title as a 1923 Ford Roadster. State inspection and registration were recently renewed.
Pickup and transport of the vehicle and all associated costs are the buyer's responsibility. The vehicle must be picked up not later than 30 days (including weekends and holidays) following close of the auction. I will be available as needed to accommodate shipper schedules and to monitor loading and securing of the vehicle. I will not be liable for damage to, nor damage caused by the vehicle after the buyer or buyer's shipper or authorized agent takes possession. Payment: I require a $200 non-refundable deposit by PayPal within 24 hrs of purchase. The balance must be paid within 7 business days. Acceptable forms of payment for the balance include Cashier's Checks, USPS Money Orders, Wire Transfer and Cash. I do not accept personal checks. The vehicle will be released to the buyer only after all funds due in payment have been verified. Contact: eBay messaging is preferred for all routine contact regarding the auction. If the auction is closing and you have an urgent question or concern, you can reach me at 512-739-7932. If I am unable to answer immediately, please leave a voice mail and I'll get back to you as quickly as possible. NO TEXT MESSAGES. Thanks!

Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost sales robust in early going
Tue, 13 May 2014Okay, okay, okay, so I was just a smidge wrong. Those that read my review of the Ford Fiesta with the new 1.0-liter, EcoBoost engine will know that while I really enjoyed the torquey little three-cylinder, I was concerned that Ford's decision to force 1.0-liter owners into a manual transmission, steel wheels and one trim level might hurt sales of the new engine. I was also concerned that the promised 45-mile-per-gallon highway rating wouldn't be enough to tempt buyers into trying an engine that's so far outside of what the general public is use to. My concerns, though, seem to have been for naught.
While not doing a booming business on the triple-equipped Fiesta, Ford is seeing a take rate of four to eight percent per month in the engine's first few months on sale. Now, four to eight percent might not sound like a lot - if, like last year, the Fiesta sells around 71,000 units, there'd be barely 5,600 1.0-liter models on the road. It is also small potatoes relative to the take rate on EcoBoost-equipped vehicles across the Ford range, which US sales analyst Erich Merkle estimates to be roughly 35 to 40 percent of retail sales. Still, according to The Detroit News, the 1.0-liter is getting adopted at roughly the same rate as the sparkling Fiesta ST, which should be a solid indication of just how well this little engine is doing.
The 1.0-liter's success "really speaks volumes, not just to what we're doing with the Fiesta, but with EcoBoost in general," Merkle told Autoblog.
Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
