A real popular car to either restore, hot rod or just drive the way it is. This is what a lot of people are looking for. A numbers-matching, running and driving, easy to get parts for, 85-year old car. I bought this a couple of years ago from an estate of a Model T collector. It was the odd-ball in his collection. I put a new 6-volt battery in it and drove it home with not one problem. Since then, I have started another project car which requires money and space.

This car is very solid. Odometer showing 17,866 miles. No rust out areas. All glass and wood are very good. Tires are not worn or weathered. Brakes are good. Starts easily. Does not smoke. Has accessory Autolite heater and spare tire cover. Grill shell is reproduction stainless. Headlights are also stainless with sealed beams. All lights work. Windshield tilts as it should. Radiator and water pump do not leak. Top is fairly new. Transmission shifts well. A real fun car to drive. Lots of smiles from everyone.

On the negative side, it does need a paint job and interior cloth. The cloth can be ordered as a kit and not too hard to install. All mechanical/metal parts are intact inside, including window trim and seat springs. The front seats are padded and covered, but are not original material. Restoration would be easy while still having a driving car.

Can help with loading. Car is locally advertised, so I reserve the right to end auction early. Will require a $500.00 deposit, 5-business days after sale. Balance due before car leaves. Can hold in storage for short time. Buyer responsible for shipping.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

Cosworth double-feature is XCar's a drool-worthy look back

Wed, Jun 11 2014

While American fans of Ford performance cars in the '80s and early '90s were loving the 5.0 Mustang, Taurus SHO and, for those who wanted to be a little different, the Merkur XR4Ti, British fans of the Blue Oval were getting their own unique take on speed. The Sierra RS Cosworth (which was similar but not identical to the aforementioned Merkur) and later Escort RS Cosworth were the stuff of dreams with huge wings, hood vents and big power for their time and class. XCar Films aims to find out whether it is little more than nostalgia that makes these classics famous or it really is their legitimate performance. Thanks to its Formula One and racing success, Cosworth was already a well-established performance name in the UK by the time it began selling tuned engines to Ford for the Sierra and Escort. The Sierra RS Cosworth hit the scene in 1986 with a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 204 horsepower and rear-wheel drive. Its huge wing at the back signaled it immediately as something special, and it proved to be a performance powerhouse on and off the track. When it was retired, Ford replaced it with the Escort RS Cosworth that used an upgraded version of the same engine with 217 hp, all-wheel drive and an even bigger rear wing to net yet more racing victories. XCar really gets into the spirit of the time, opening the video with the lo-fi grain of '80s and '90s TV, but to find out whether the Cossies stand up to modern scrutiny, you have to watch the video below. Stay tuned until the end to enjoy them at their best with some vintage motorsports footage. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
