1918 T Bucket Dusty Garage Find

Shows photo from early 1990’s with Pink Slip (Current Non Op registration)

It is currently being stored in my garage in Riverside County, CA. 

The owner is a 65 year old Vietnam vet who wants to retire and needs the money.

1918 Ford Model T registration and Vin Number (I am told by the owner that the frame is original with numbers matching the Pink Slip.) What I do know is that the 289 Cobra engine has a nice lub, lub, lub at idol and a deep Harley sounding varoom cruising around. This car is not for the timid.   Note:  This car was registered before 1977 and does not require fenders. 

This car was purchased by the owner of a pawn shop about 20 years ago and the current owner of the car now bought it in 1999.  It stayed in his garage looking sharp for almost ten years and He was a partner in an auto repair shop and kept this car stored inside up until the end of last year.  That’s when we found out that they had moved this 1918 T Bucket to a new location and it sat under a window and sunlight through window trashed the upholstery.  (See Before and After Photo.)  Spent the last 9 months helping owner clean it up, repair the interior and get this ready to hit the road.  Now, he has asked me to put this on eBay.  Sadly he now has to sell his pride and joy.  I am have this car listed locally and reserve the right to remove this listing if it sells locally and remove this listing 48 hours prior to the end of the auction.

Please email through eBay for if you have any questions and I will respond asap.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.

2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
