This Model T is a 1913 roadster pickup. The description of the Model T: The T was painted in late 2012, and the seat cover was done about the same time. The body is maroon and the fenders, running boards, splash aprons are black. The floor mat is new. The engine has been modified with a 12 volt system, with alternator, electric start, halogen headlights, LED tail lights, however there is no "stop light". The electric starter was added for ease of starting but can still be crank started if you choose. There is a clear Texas title in my name and the numbers on the title match that on the engine.. The bed on the pickup was built according to the correct original design and uses the correct fittings. We have made road trips of 80 to 100 miles or more with no problems and is regularly driven to church and around town on nice days. The Model T starts and runs on magneto, the correct tool box and carbide generator are mounted on the running board. The white tires are in good condition with the "NonSkid" tread design. There is plenty of good tread remaining on the tires. The "white" on the front tires is good, however the rear tires tend to turn grey over time. The rear tires are "white" tires but to keep them looking good I use a rubberized white paint about once a year to keep them looking good. A spare can of white tire paint is included with the sale. I cannot attest that the engine is a 1913 engine, however it is easily started and runs as quiet as any Model T I have ever driven or listened to. The motor number on the engine is 178724 and checking with the Model T website the engine number originated in late 1912, but that doesn't mean it is a 1912 or 1913 manufactured engine. But I can say that the engine is in very good driving condition, it doesn't smoke and starts and runs right on down the road very well. Please look at the engine pictures and if you have any questions regarding the engine you may want to check with someone you know that is a Model T expert------I'm not. But it is a Model T engine for sure, all 20 horse power of it. The car is for sale locally and the auction may be ended without notice, transportation is the responsibility of the purchaser. You are invited to make a personal inspection of the car prior to bidding if you like. I don't think you will be disappointed but you never know how someone else will look at a car or truck. The preferred method of payment is by wire transfer.

Aluminum Ford F-150 earns five-star crash rating [w/video]

Thu, Apr 16 2015

The scores are in, and the 2015 Ford F-150 has been awarded a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's testing. That makes it, according to Ford, the safest F-150 ever. "The five-star safety rating is a terrific example of One Ford collaboration and innovation," Vice President of Global Product Development Raj Nair said in a statement. "Our truck team worked together for years to deliver this accomplishment, using an unprecedented combination of advanced materials throughout the all-new F-150. The 2015 model is engineered to be the safest F-150 ever, which matters to customers who depend on this truck to not only get the job done, but also get them safely home." The new F-150's aluminum and high-strength-steel construction posed some unique challenges to truck's engineers. "The team had to invent new ways to manage crash energy, because advanced materials like high-strength steel behave differently," Matt Niesluchowski, the truck's safety manager. "We found that changing certain shapes led to a weight reduction, while also improving crash performance." Beyond the structural safety features, the 2015 F-150 is loaded with additional safety features, including an adaptive steering column and Ford's inflatable seat belts, that protects drivers in the event of a collision. Beyond that, there's the usual array of active safety features meant to prevent a crash in the first place, including Curve Control and forward collision warning with brake support. Check out Ford's full press release on its five-star score, as well as video on the truck's safety features.

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
