Lisbon, Iowa, United States
|
1926 roadster. This is a period correct jalopy racer using parts that were available around or before 1930. It is still all model T ford. Front has been lowered using model t wishbones bent into hairpin radius rods with the axle kicked forward. Rear has been z'd. Steering has been dropped and works nice. Smaller diameter early steering wheel for more leg room. Custom hand made leather straps using stock hood hooks and springs for tension. Custom built solid oak floorboards using stock hold downs and correct ship lap joints. A lot of new parts including, front wheel bearings, correct cloth covered wiring harnesses for the lights and ignition switch, spark plugs and wires, cutout for generator and battery. it is a stock six volt system. lights have new sockets, front and rear and all work as they should. It does have a brake light. Runs great and starts easy. Does leak a little oil. This car is a driver. I have been driving it quite a bit this year already. It is still a model t and drives like one so dont expect a new car. The tires have good tread but are showing some minor weather checking. They all hold air and haven't given any problems. The body is not perfect, it has rust and dents but is all original ford steel. There are no patch panels or bondo. The paint doesn't look to be original but does look very old and has a lot of character and patina. It would be easy to restore the body with patch panels that are readily available but I personally would keep it as is. Frame and subframe are both good. Original running board tool box is in the trunk. Accessory clamp on spotlight with rear view mirror. Brakes and transmission work well. Clean original title that matches the frame number. Please feel free to ask any questions. I can provide storage for a reasonable amount of time needed to arrange pick up or shipping. All shipping costs will be responsibility of the buyer. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of auctions end. remaining balance due within 7 days.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas
Wed, 03 Apr 2013The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
