1917 Model T Ford Roadster, Get Out And Get Under, Stock, No Frills, Runs Great on 2040-cars
Lodi, California, United States
Here is your chance to, "get out and get under" (if you remember that great Harold Lloyd movie). We are listing this cute 1917 Model T Ford Runabout for auction. This really is the most basic of the Model T fords for 1917. This little runabout is in really nice condition. We purchased the car in this condition several years ago and just do not have the time to finish it. The top was new when we got the car;however the interior was not installed. We have new seat and back rest springs and the new upholstery kit that goes with the car. The top still requires some work to finish it off. This is a solid running car with a set of Bennett outside brakes, new aluminum"Z" head, new Anderson timer. Everything else is basic Model T, from crank start to operable magneto-powered headlights with correct push-pull switch. The body was professionally rewooded and is very solid. The Fenders and splash aprons are excellent, but it came to us with a ding low in the cowl and in the turtle deck (see photo). Again we purchased the car as you see it and everyone loves it. What could be cuter? Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
