This car was built specifically to run at the Race of Gentleman race in Wildwood, N.J. It is a very good rendition of a very early hot rod. The car started life out as a touring sedan. The body was cut in half and shortened to roadster dimensions. The back turtle deck is an original from a 1925 roadster. All wood was removed and steel was used in it's place. The door was also skinned with steel, opens and shuts excellent. The interior has a Ford Model A subframe attached to the body so I could run Model A style floorboards. The floorboards are birch plywood. A trimmed down 1930 Ford Model A instrument cluster was used on the stock T dash. The seats are plywood with foam and fake leather, pretty comfortable. The windshield was chopped down with safety glass used. One corner has a small crack. The body sits on a late Model A chassis. The frame rails were pinched in the back to follow the Model T turtledeck. Headlights and taillight are 1929 Ford. All the wiring is brand new and the lights work as they should. Front brakes were completely rebuilt, rears were not rebuilt but work just fine. Steering is from a 1930 Model A. The body was made to look as old as possible. I left many of the dents and dings in it. Paint was brushed on and then buffed down to show some of the primer/age. It has a really great look to it. Engine runs great, has a carter 6 volt electric pump connecting the oval T tank ( in the turtledeck) to the zenith carb. Radiator was custom made to fit the T grill shell. The shell is actually two that I cut in half and welded together so the bottom matches the top. There is no fan on this car, it runs on country roads at 180 degrees all day. If you drive it in traffic alot it will warm up so a fan would be needed for constant stop and go driving. There are a ton of things I am missing so please feel free to ask me any questions you have. This is a bare bones car, nothing special, nothing fancy. It has drips, it leaks a bit but it is a blast to drive. It was built to look like a survivor that was built in the early 30's. It gets looks wherever it goes. PLEASE NOTICE if you are a big guy, you probably won't fit in this car, it is small as model T's were. Please NOTE:The mileage is not correct as this car did not originally come with a odometer. It has a clear Michigan title in my name and it matches the number on the engine and is registered as a 1925 Ford Model T. Please do not bid if you do not want to buy this car. This car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Ford Focus ST diesel estate in track showdown with Focus ST hatch

Sun, Jan 18 2015

Diesel hot hatches are still a concept that's gaining ground. Obviously, there are none for sale in the US, but European buyers have the choice of at least the Volkswagen Golf GTD and Ford Focus ST Diesel. What better way to find out how the new, high-performance oil-burner really stacks up than for Ford to stage a race against the gasoline-fueled Focus ST? On paper, the ST Diesel is at a big performance detriment here. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque compared to 247 hp and 266 lb-ft for the gas version in this race. However while not a factor for this race, the oil-burner does offer better fuel economy and produces less CO2, which makes a difference for European buyers. Ford skews the race results by giving the ST Diesel Estate a two-second head start for this one-lap battle around the Castle Combe Circuit. Also, this is a video from the Blue Oval, which is going to further minimize the appearance of weakness for its vehicles. Still, both STs really get to show off their strengths, and it's worth seeing how the sibling rivalry shakes out at the finish line.

Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise

Wed, Aug 9 2023

No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and ClassicÂ” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. Â“Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) Â– the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,Â” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, Â“you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volvo XC40 Recharge score high in IIHS tests

Thu, Apr 22 2021

New electric cars continue their streak of impressive crash test results. The two latest to go through Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing are the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E and the 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge. The former earned a Top Safety Pick award, and the latter picked up the Top Safety Pick+ commendation. Both vehicles got the top "Good" rating in every crash test, as well as the "Superior" rating for vehicle-to-vehicle collision prevention. They deviate when it comes to headlights and vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention. Because the Volvo has headlights rated "Good" on all trims, it got that extra "+" on its Top Safety Pick award. The Ford also has high-rated headlights available, but the standard units got the second lowest rating of "Marginal." As for the vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention, the Volvo received the second-highest "Advanced" rating, while the Ford was rated "Superior." Among the electric cars IIHS has tested, the Ford and Volvo continue a streak of high scores. The organization has evaluated the Audi E-Tron in both its body styles, as well as the Tesla Model 3, both of which get the Top Safety Pick+ rating. As a result of the XC40 Recharge's test score, Volvo pointed out that it is the only automaker whose entire lineup has received a Top Safety Pick+ rating.
