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.

New Ford GT to carry $400k-price tag

Thu, Mar 5 2015

The last time Ford made a GT, it built more than 4,000 of them and sold each one for around $150,000. Judging by the premiums at which they later traded, they were evidently worth a lot more than that. But this time, the new Ford GT will be far more expensive and far more scarce. Official performance, production and pricing figures have yet to be released, but upon the new American supercar's European debut in Geneva, Ford performance chief Dave Pericak indicated it would be priced competitively with the Lamborghini Aventador – which carries a base sticker price approaching $400,000, Car and Driver reported. Combine that with production expected to number in the hundreds, not the thousands, and you're not likely to be seeing any of these Blue Oval halo cars in your neighborhood anytime soon. The question then becomes: will the price tag will be justified? With carbon-fiber construction and more than 600 horsepower on tap, it very well could be. And if speculators are going to drive up the actual sale prices, we don't see why Ford shouldn't get what the product is worth. But whether the world is ready for a $400,0000-Ford is another question entirely. Related Video:

Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update

Fri, May 19 2017

Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android

Ford adding second supplier for F-150 frames

Mon, Aug 10 2015

Metalsa, the company that builds steel frames for the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, is still having trouble providing enough frames to supply the two factories that build the pickup. The snafu is preventing Ford from selling as many of the country's best-selling truck as it could, and eating into profits - even though the bottom line is still breaking company records. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ford has picked Michigan company Tower International as a second frame supplier and expects to have inventory up to a proper level at the beginning of Q4 of this year. Neither Ford nor Tower would confirm the development - Automotive News got comments from a source and pieced together bits of info from Tower's financial statements and local press reports. Tower currently builds body structures for several vehicles, including the F-series, and the Bellevue, Ohio factory that will build F-150 frames previously manufactured frames for the Ranger and Econoline. According to a story in the local Sandusky Register, Tower will add one production line at the end of next month to begin shipping frames in October, and another line in April 2016. Something like 138 full-time workers and 364 robots are expected to carry out the work. Tower's most recent financial statement said that capital investment will be necessary to get everything set up, but the contract will be worth $140 million in yearly revenue.
