1923 Model T Ford Touring Car for Sale- this car is listed for sale locally and nationally and is subject to prior sale. It is currently being offered at a “Buy it Now” price of $11,400.00. You could buy someone’s project- or problem child for $7,500- but by the time you get it in the condition this car is in you will have spent $25,000. (And Brother, I know all about it. An engine/transmission rebuild of this caliber alone runs at least $6500.) I have been restoring and driving Model T’s for about ten years, and I have had this particular car since the Fall of 2009. It has been in the New Orleans area since the 1960’s from what I can tell. It survived Hurricane Katrina by being garaged in Jefferson Parish. I have put this car through a fairly comprehensive mechanical restoration over the last three years: the original 1923 engine/transmission was rebuilt by Ross Lilleker of Lilleker Auto Restorations in College Station Texas in 2011. Ross specializes in Model T Ford engines, and this is a fine example of his work. I took advantage of a number of available upgrades in the rebuild process, including a stronger, heavier Model ‘A’ Crankshaft, a heavy duty copper pipe external oiler (provides constant direct lubrication to Front Bearing), and an aluminum high-compression head. The heavier crankshaft and head are routine rebuild upgrades designed to provide extra strength, extra power, and longer life. These upgrades deliver an extra two horsepower, and the car is very peppy by Model T standards. Top speed is somewhere in the 40’s. If you need to go faster than that you don’t want a 90 year old Model T Ford. The engine runs strong and true, and pulls just fine right up the Huey P. Long Bridge. This car has never failed to bring me home again (an important consideration). The engine is kept cool by a recently rebuilt radiator with a modern core- a far more efficient and better way to protect the engine from overheating than the original, or primitive modern reproduction radiators. The radiator system is filled with half and half Prestone and 3 oz of Baby Oil as a rust preventative. The transmission bands have the top quality everlasting kevlar bands that seem never to wear out. A transmission filter has been installed. The pedals all function correctly and the car shifts easily. Braking is achieved mainly through the transmission engine brake- one of the Kevlar bands. The brake shoes in the wheel hubs were all replaced with newly re-lined shoes a couple of years ago, and all of the wheel bearings have been replaced (and recently greased). The spokes are wooden, and painted black as they originally would have been (varnished wooden spokes never made sense to me, I like things original- mostly). The car runs well on both Magneto and Battery, and is equipped with both the crank and an electric starter on the floor. The electrical system is original 6 Volt, and power is supplied by a Gel Battery that is about two years old. The generator was rebuilt (purchased through Langs Old Car Parts) along with the starter and carbeurator in 2010. The car has been re-wired from stem to stern in 2010. New wires, wire harness, commutator, gas tank (I installed a cutoff switch in the gas line ahead of the carbeurator for safety), new copper gas line, muffler, ammeter, ignition switch etc etc. The coils were all replaced and tested and they work fine. The Coilbox itself was rebuilt in 2012. The five tires (one spare) were purchased new in 2010, show minimal wear and no cracking. The lights and horn work, and there is an additional parade siren. Accessories include the Fat Man Wooden steering wheel, and a really neat set of zinc door tops that give the car a more finished look. These were probably purchased at Western Auto in the 1920’s. The body is in very good shape- I can find no bondo. There is a small dent to the hood, and a chip or two to the paint. I did not paint the car; the paint is probably a couple of decades old, but it has been garage kept throughout. I did replace the top one year ago. There is also a new boot cover which covers the folded-up top when it is down. It looks fine. I have driven this car in parades in the New Orleans area and made one trip to Slidell across Highway 90 and over the Rigolets Bridge- but that’s as far as I’ve taken her. I have confidently driven this car over the river and through the streets of New Orleans numerous times- and it has never failed to bring me home again. In short, this is a great running 90 year old car without any real problems that is looking for a home where it will be maintained and appreciated for the treasure that it is. |

Xcar flogs the 2015 Ford Focus ST
Wed, Feb 18 2015There's an inevitable dilemma that practically every auto fan eventually faces, at least other than Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld, and that's the tradeoff of performance, practicality and perhaps most importantly, money. Parking the fabled supercar in the garage might be the wish, but for most folks bigger responsibilities – like a family – just don't allow that dream to be a reality. In the view of XCar Films, this intersection of needs and wants is where vehicles like the latest Ford Focus ST provide a fantastic compromise between exciting driving and everyday practicality. Xcar hops into Ford's recently refreshed European hot hatch to illustrate its abilities as both a hauler for the small family on the move and for the driver who just wants to go. The Blue Oval left the powertrain alone for the ST's update, but sharpened the exterior styling, revised the interior and retuned the front suspension and steering. Being realistic, no one is ever going to get behind the wheel of the Focus ST and mistake it for a Porsche, but that's not really the point. Instead, buyers get to put a smile on their face from time to time and still maintain life's other responsibilities.

2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
Mark LaNeve named head of Ford US sales and marketing
Thu, Jan 8 2015Ford continues to rework the positions of its top marketing executives as Jim Farley moves to take over the Blue Oval in Europe and Stephen Odell becomes head of global sales. The latest shift brings Mark LaNeve in as the new vice president of US marketing, sales, service and dealer relations, effective February 1. LaNeve replaces John Felice, who is retiring. Felice was with the automaker for the last 30 years and held his most recent job since November of 2013. In addition to coordinating marketing and sales, LaNeve's other duty is to build "innovative new digital communications and transforming the retail experience for customers," according to the automaker's press release announcing the change. He reports to both Odell and Joe Hinrichs, Ford's boss of the Americas. LaNeve has a long history in the auto industry. He spent a portion of his early career with Cadillac but eventually was hired as the CEO of Volvo Cars North America. He also headed up US marketing at General Motors for several years in the 2000s. Since 2012, LaNeve has been the chief operating officer at Global Ford Team, which is responsible for the company's worldwide advertising. There's an interesting challenge ahead of LaNeve in leading the Blue Oval's US marketing and sales in 2015. Ford was the bestselling auto brand here in 2014 but overall sales fell about 1.1 percent. According to Automotive News, the company's market share dropped to 14.9 percent, a one-percent reduction and the lowest level since 2008. Read below for the automaker's official announcement of LaNeve's new job. JOHN FELICE RETIRING AFTER 30 YEARS; FORD NAMES MARK LANEVE TO LEAD U.S. MARKETING, SALES AND SERVICE TEAM John Felice is retiring as vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service, after 30 years of service Mark LaNeve, named vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service and elected a Ford Motor Company officer; former chief operating officer at Global Team Ford brings nearly three decades of automotive marketing and sales experience to Ford Ford Motor Company [NYSE: F] announced today changes in its senior leadership team as it continues to deliver and accelerate the company's One Ford plan while driving for product excellence and innovation. John Felice, vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service, has elected to retire after 30 years at Ford, effective Feb. 1, 2015.
