Up for auction is my 1923 Ford T-Bucket. It is older build and is showing it's age. The fiberglass shell has a few areas of damage that will need some attention whenever you get around to it. They are not really visible, but if you look at the back where the trunk is you may be able to see them. The windshield post appears to be original to a 23 T and the glass is break free. Side steps for ease of getting in and a Cassette player with 4 speakers that are of no use when the vehicle is started. Break lights, headlights, blinkers and tail lights work as they should. There is also a working wiper arm as shown, but of no use. Solid frame and there is disc brakes on the front and drum brakes with a 9" Ford rear-end in the rear. The motor is either a 327 or 350 Chevy with Camel Back heads, an over size cam ( specs unknown ) and a Edelbrock 6-pack manifold with adjustable electronic fuel pump. There is no choke so it is very cold blooded when started until slightly warmed up. The carbs could use adjustment,  I could not find any-one local to tune them, so they will need some adjustment or rebuilds. There is an electronic ignition installed with a 50,000 volt coil. The engine is loud due to no baffles in the exhaust and has a very severe cam loop to it, Electronic fan installed, but I had never used it yet and have done a few parades. The transmission I am unsure of, but I would probably guess a turbo-350. The front seal has a very small leak to it when sitting for a few days. The car is a good driver with new plugs, electronic ignition, oil change and new plug wires. I am sure I forgot something, but email me and I can answer any questions. I do work until 7:00 PM and answer emails after that. The car runs down the road good, is very loud and still draws plenty of looks. Maybe due to the vehicle, or the un-baffled exhaust. Personally I am a Ford guy and if it does not sell I will pull the Chevy motor and trans out sell it and install a Ford motor in it. Just my preference. THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WITH NO WARRENTY APPLIED.

Buyer is responsible for picking up the car or arranging for shipping. 
I will accept PayPal, Cashiers check along with cash as payment methods. All payment method beside cash will need to clear the bank before the car is released.
Please email with any questions. I will need a $500.00 deposit via PayPal within 3 days of auction ending and payment if full within 10 days of auction ending. I can store the car for a couple of weeks while transport is arranged.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

2017 Ford F-150 Raptor desert testing heats up

Thu, Jul 9 2015

In case there was any doubt, Ford is taking the development of the second-generation SVT Raptor very, very seriously. The Blue Oval recently completed over 1,000 miles of testing in the boiling heat of the American southwest. Apparently, that mileage was accrued over a 66-mile route designed to mimic the torturous terrain encountered by racers in the Baja 1,000 off-road race. The prototypes, which were built from a mix of existing and next-gen Raptor components, were tested with "fast sandy washes, deep-rutted silt beds, steep climbs in deep sand, and slow meticulous crawls through tight trenches." Ford claims the new truck managed to run the circuit 25-percent faster than the current F-150 SVT Raptor, averaging 50 miles per hour while going as fast as 100 mph in stretches. That said, Dearborn didn't release any dedicated times, so it's unclear just how quickly the 66-mile stage was completed. We do know that durability was a big part of the testing. Ford claims each lap was completed by what sounds like a pretty significant jump, with the trucks ascending a steep ramp onto a two-foot plateau and then completing a step-down to level ground. We have to take Ford at its word here, though. "Steep" can mean any number of things, and we've no idea just how fast the trucks were hitting the ramp or how much air they got. Hopefully, the jumps were aggressive enough to prevent future frame issues. Still, Ford boasting about how rough the Raptor's testing is can be taken as a positive sign for fans of the next-generation of SVT's rugged pickup. NEW F-150 RAPTOR WRAPS UP INITIAL DESERT DURABILITY TESTING DEARBORN, Mich., July 7, 2015 – The 2017 F-150 Raptor – Ford's toughest, smartest, most capable off-road truck ever – recently completed more than 1,000 miles of testing in the southwestern United States. Over 1,028 miles of desert trail designed to parallel the Baja race course in Mexico, the 66-mile route featured a wide range of surfaces including fast sandy washes, deep-rutted silt beds, steep climbs in deep sand, and slow meticulous crawls through tight trenches. The truck topped speeds of 100 mph in places, slowing to 10 mph in others, for an average speed of approximately 50 mph. The 2017 Raptor is 25 percent faster than the current truck based on lap times. At the end of each lap, the new Raptor completed a tabletop jump consisting of a steep ramp up to a two-foot plateau, then a step-off back to level ground.
