1922 Model T Ford "doctor"s Coupe Excellent Driver No Reserve on 2040-cars
Year:1922

Location:
Augusta, Georgia, United States

Up for bids is my
1922 Model T Ford "Doctor's" Coupe. If I'm not mistaken it also goes
by several other nicknames, "Top Hat Coupe"," High Top
Coupe" among others. After twenty five
years of restoring Model A Fords, I wanted to learn more about the
"T" and bought a couple of "barn finds" got them running
and driving then decided to buy a more reliable Model T. This is the one I chose. This car has been
around the Even after the car
had been stored for several years, it only needed the gas tank and fuel lines
cleaned, a new set of spark plugs, plug wires a new battery and she cranked on
the first turn! I also decided to install a fuel shutoff valve and replace the
carburetor with a rebuilt Unfortunately, the
transmission bands needed replacing. Luckily I found a new set of Kevlar bands
along with some extra parts that came with the car. Once they were installed,
the car ran and drove as it did in 1922..... I would assume! It also stops as
well as it runs! Steering is tight. With the new Kevlar brake band liner and the added optional Although I have no
idea when or by whom the car was restored it is truly a very nice driver. All of the glass
is in excellent condition and the interior looks perfect especially with the
beautifully restored steering wheel. Top is in excellent condition with no
tears, worn areas or leaks. Do to the age of the restoration, the paint is
showing some expected wear, nicks, etc. I have tried to picture most of the
problem areas but the car still draws a crowd as is! I always receive many
compliments! Everything works
on this "T" with the exception of the , "what appears to
be," original speedometer. I would assume it would be operational but the
cable and sprocket assembly that attaches to the right front wheel are missing.
The formally kerosene cowl lamps have been cleverly altered to accept a socket
and bulb and can be lit separately from the headlights. There is also an extra
"STOP" light for safety. I have never seen
any leakage from the excellent radiator, engine, or drivetrain. No need to
check the oil the old way by turning petcocks! Someone has installed a very
helpful dipstick which works great and your hands stay clean! The wooden spokes
are in excellent condition, however, some of the tires are showing some surface
cracking. No problem for short local trips but might be a concern for longer
tours.
As much as I have
enjoyed owning this "T" I need to make room for another recent
vehicle purchase.
I strongly
recommend anyone interested in bidding on this vehicle either visit I can be contacted
via ebay or my Cell # 706-829-6466 I value my 100%
Positive feedback and have described this vehicle to the best of my ability. I

Ward's calls out Ford's EcoBoost engines for their crummy fuel economy
Thu, Jan 8 2015With a name like EcoBoost, one might expect Ford's line of turbocharged engines to be somewhat, um, economical. In other words, replacing displacement with a turbocharger is supposed to deliver better fuel economy. Based on the experience time and time again of multiple Autoblog editors, your author included, this is simply not the case. Now, Ward's is calling out the cruddy efficiency numbers of Ford's EcoBoost line of engines. The column dresses down not just the new 2.7-liter V6 of the 2015 F-150, but also the 2.3-liter of the Mustang, the 1.5-liter from the Fusion and the 3.2-liter PowerStroke diesel found in the Transit, while also explaining why just one Ford engine was named to Ward's 10 Best Engines list. In its testing of all four engines, Ward's editors never came even remotely close to matching the 2.7's claimed 26 miles per gallon (for two-wheel-drive models), with the truck's computer indicating between 17.6 and 19 mpg over a 250-odd-mile run. Calculating the fuel economy manually revealed an even more depressing 15.6 miles per gallon. Criticisms with the 2.3-liter four-cylinder focused on its strange soundtrack, although it was business as usual with the 1.5-liter and 3.2 diesel, with Ward's criticizing the fuel economy of both engines. The 1.5, which Ward's claims is sold as a hybrid alternative, failed to get over 30 miles per gallon, while the five-cylinder turbodiesel's figures couldn't stand up against FCA's 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. The entire column really is worth a read, especially if you were disappointed in Ward's decision to only salute Ford's three-cylinder EcoBoost while shunning the rest of the company's new turbocharged mills.
Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology
Tue, 20 Apr 2010In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?
2015 Saleen 302 Black Label Mustang unveiled with 730 horsepower
Mon, Mar 23 2015The last time Saleen made these pages it was to report that the firm was out of money. However, just before that announcement, the tuning specialist told us about the three Saleen 302 Mustangs it was developing at three levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label, with those latter two trims to put out 640 horsepower and 565 pound-feet of torque. Well, the Black Label is here - don't let the California Sunset paint fool you - and it's more powerful than planned, with 730 hp and 600 lb-ft blasted out of a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 hooked up to a twin-screw supercharger. Saleen says it's the most powerful, refined, and advanced Mustang it has ever built. Keeping all that power on the road is the increase in downforce that comes from a body that's been extended one inch in front and two inches in the back, and the wing suspended over the decklid. The stock suspension is refitted with Saleen S4 springs, shocks, swaybars and bushings, and the 20-inch wheels on 275-section rubber hide 15-inch dimpled rotors. The interior gets the requisite frills in leather and contrasting stitches, as well as new gauges and badging. It'll take $73,214 to open the door, but just $2,015 to put down a deposit. For more info, check out the press release below. Related Video: 2015 Saleen 302 Black Label Mustang March 15, 2015 -- Earlier this year, Saleen Automotive released their 2015 White and Yellow Label 302 Mustangs to much fanfare. To round out their fleet, Saleen pulled out all the stops and developed one of the best Mustangs to date. This car is set to change the way pony cars are looked at from here on out. At a one-of-a-kind event in Downtown LA, Saleen raised the curtain on the latest pony car out of their Corona, CA headquarters. "Since I started building cars in 1984 my goal has always been to go above and beyond where anybody has been before", said Steve Saleen. "This will by far be the most refined and advanced Mustang we have built to date." With over 30 years of experience in both racing and manufacturing vehicles, it was only a matter of time before Saleen built a Mustang as comprehensive and technologically advanced as the 2015 302 Black Label. Power Saleen combined the reliability and potency of the 5.0L Coyote motor with a twin-screw supercharger. The pair produces the most power from a production Mustang yet at 730 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque on 91 octane gas.
