1913 Depot Hack that was just finished at the end of last summer and attended one car show where it won trophy. Only driven around the block a few times and is ready to go anywhere. I built this car with the intention that I did not want to have break downs, constant "monkeying around" nor the usual constant tinkering that most "T's" need. I had this one done for national tours. this car has the best of everything with over 20,000$ invested plus labor, plus paint shop labor, time spent searching for pieces and shipping... Motor & Trans is 1926. Was completely rebuilt by "Ron's Machine shop ( Known for Montana 500 wins ) cost was over $ 5000. Carb by Russ Potter ( NH). Has Alum intake, new exhaust manifold, 260Z Cam, Kevlar linings, Jack rabbit Clutch, Kevlar Linings, low head, modified early fan with roller bearings inserted, Hogs headed rebuilt with "O" rings so no leaks ! & pedals are lettered ( C,R,B) not 26/27 wide type. Because of the larger brake drum in trans. car is safer as it stops quickly for a T. 4 dip pan straightened on KR Jig. Has dual internal oil feeds to front bearings. Mag and magnets are reworked by "ron's" Coils are rebuilt and in box with KW Switch, Internal contacts and porcelains are original Ford not repros for best contact.. Has an "E TIMER" so no screwing around with spark and runs really smooooth with lots of power, yet looks original. Comes with a'17 block that can be modified to '13, early narrow nosed oil correct pan as a spare &possibly NOS crankshaft. Correct front and rear ends all rebuilt with new bushings and new Mae West shackles roller bearings in rear end not brass plates, hasTapered leaf springs. Front is new & repro rear is mint used original. drive shaft has FUN PROJECTS adjustable bearing and NOS U joint.. Has fabric lined accessory brake shoes not cast iron and will stop. All chassis sand blasted and primed and is urethane black with hardner to make oil and gas resistant. All oilers are correct brass. Battery is 6 volt 1 yr old. All fenders, hood former, gas tank, running boards, hood are new Rootlieb. Headlamps are new Rootlieb ( I did not paint them to change from '12 to '13 style). Prestolite tank painted factory grey and is full. Have Langs kit to hook up lights to it, but not installed...yet. Steering colum is all rebuilt with new brass parts and 26-27 gears for easy & safe steering. Body is by Pleasantville Body Co. Wheels are rebuilt by the Amish in Ohio and beautiful, all wood and hardware is new .( all 4) with sandblasted and filled rims and hubs that were nice to start with. Wheel bearings possibly NOS. Tires of course are new. Radiator is new from "BERGS". Side lamps are nice originals with burners but have dings in the fonts that are minor lamps are restored other wise ...same for the tail lamp all are corect '13-'14, Speedo is winged script. Horn is original with new LANGS tube ,reed, fittings. As I had intended to keep this as my own car I did it right, But we have the American Eagle "T" racer and wife prefers to show that and we are looking for a '33 Ford body if any one has one available to put a hi perf '51 Merc Flatie we have into. Car is dusty and a bit dirty in some shots as pictures were taken just after winter storage in a dusty barn. This '13 draws a lot of attention where ever it goes and kids just love it !! The touring shown in one pic is sold and gone. Many small parts are either NOS Ford or repros from Langs & Bob's.

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]

Fri, 30 May 2014

Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.

Ford family keeps special voting rights

Fri, 10 May 2013

Ford Motor Company has a dual-class stock structure of Class A and Class B shares. The roughly three billion Class A shares are for the general public like you and me, while the roughly 71 million Class B shares are all owned by the Ford family. Each Class A share gets the shareholder one vote, each Class B share is worth 16 votes, the result being that Common Stock holders control about 60 percent of the company while the Ford family controls 40 percent even though it holds far fewer shares. The only way that could ever change would be if the Fords sell their Class B shares, but even so, Class B shares revert to Class A when sold outside the family, so they'd have to sell a whole bunch of them.
A contingent of Class A shareholders think the dual-class system is unfair, and for the past few years a vote's been held during the annual shareholders meeting to end it. It has failed every time, as it just did again during the meeting held this week. A smidge over 33 percent voted to end the dual system, outvoted by the 67 percent who are happy with the way Ford is going - unsurprising in view of a corporate turnaround that will be part of business-class curricula for years to come.
On the sidelines, Ford elected Ellen R. Marram to the post of independent director, the first woman to hold the job. The former Tropicana CEO and 20-year Ford board member replaces retiring board member Irvine Hockaday who helped bring Alan Mulally to the CEO position.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
