1926 Ford Model T Touring, Excellent Condition, Many New Components, Clear Title on 2040-cars
Burlington, Illinois, United States
|
1926 Ford Model T Touring car, runs and looks great. Everything is functional that should be, to include:
Clear title in my name (I have yet to receive it from Sec. of State, but am expecting it to arrive in the mail momentarily). Many new or nearly new components, to include: New radiator with new dog bone and motometer - high version New top and top irons New or nearly new tires and tubes New upholstery and door/kick panels Reconditioned coils New lighting wiring harness and timer to coil wiring harness Items of 'interest,' problems or issues: Radiator shell: the car comes with two 1926 all-brass radiator shells (see photos), and as the photos show, the car currently sports a gloss black radiator shell. I had intended to nickel plate one of them, and simply paint the other black so that the car could be driven while the work was done on the plating. I chose the rougher unit as the one to plate, since the plating company was going to do the brazing repairs, dent repairs and polishing prior to the plating, and I thought that the better condition shell would look better painted in the interim. The plating company originally promised me to have the radiator shell done in 'six to eight weeks.' Wow, I thought at the time, that's really a long time to wait, but I agreed to this turnaround time. When 6 weeks had elapsed, I went back to the plating company to see how things were coming, and they told me that they had only just removed the old nickel plating, and had yet to do any of the repairs. "It'll be another month, maybe more, and it will cost you more than we originally quoted you." That, and other local plating companies are two months or more lead time as well to effect this work. I asked them to just give me my unfinished radiator shell back at that time. It is still in need of plating, but some work has been done on it. If the ultimate buyer wants to return the car's appearance to original, then this shell needs nickel plating and perhaps a plating company near you can complete this task in a more timely manner than any plating companies here in the Chicagoland area. I would sincerely hope so. Paint: the paint job on the car is OK, and does not really detract from the general appearance, but it has imperfections here and there. Oil leaks. Virtually all Model T's leak oil, and especially around the 'hogshead' in spots, but this is all part of the fun of owning a Model T. NOT INCLUDED: photos show this Model T equipped with an antique bulb horn (not included with sale), an accordian-style running board luggage rack (not included with sale) and an antique piece of leather luggage (also not included with sale). These three items will be removed prior to buyer taking possession of the car. PayPal deposit of $500 required within 48 hours of eBay purchase, balance due within 7 days of purchase date via certified funds. Shipping at buyer's expense, but seller can provide shipping quote and assist loading. Car will be released for shipping only after all funds have cleared sellers' bank, perhaps 7 to 10 business days or longer. If it appears that the initial successful buyer does not intend to live up to the terms of this posting for any reason whatsoever, seller reserves the right to cancel the transaction and relist the car at any point after the listing has ended, and block the recalcitrant buyer going forward. |

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt
Tue, 25 Mar 2014It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
2015 Ford F-150 appearance guide takes the truck from mild to wild with options
Thu, 31 Jul 2014We already know that the 2015 Ford F-150 has a base price coming in at just $395 more than the 2014 model, despite all of the new standard tech and aluminum-intensive construction in the upcoming version. Now the Blue Oval is finally giving us an idea of what that extra money actually buys customers, with the release of the appearance guide for its latest pickup.
The guide basically explains everything you could want to know about what changes occur among the multitude of trims on the 2015 F-150. There are five levels for the new truck. Although, that is something of a misnomer because most of them are also available with either Sport or Chrome packages, plus the FX4 Off-Road option with Hill Descent Control, an electronic-locking rear axle, off-road shocks and skid plates. With 13 available colors, including 4 new ones, and 14 wheel designs in various sizes, pickup buyers should have no problem specing one to fit their style.
The lineup starts out with the base XL with a black grille and fascia and 17-inch wheels. However, across most of the range the Sport and Chrome packages are also available to add either body-color or chrome accents, respectively. Next up is the XLT with a standard chrome grille but also available with a black, billet-style one with a body-color surround. Things really start getting plush with the Lariat model with leather trim, a three-bar front end and 18-inch wheels. The King Ranch sticks with that look but adds power running boards, 20-inch wheels and two-tone paint. Finally, the top-dog Platinum is all about bling with yet another frontal design, chrome door handles and mirror caps, a big logo running across the tailgate and more.
