Model T Ford Touring With Many Options Set Up For Long Tours on 2040-cars
Mishawaka, Indiana, United States
One of the Best Model T's I have owned. The prior owner did a
great deal of work on this car. He and his wife drove it on tours of Pikes peak, the Rocky Mountains, Canada the far West and East , Midwest on many Model T tours. Attached is a YouTube video I made showing Model T accessories with more pictures of the car for sale If the car does not sell I am open to offers following the end of the auction I can store the car in dry storage for 30 days no cost and then further storage at my cost of $ 60 a month until pick up I have helped ship cars to Europe I do guarantee the car is as described a good running operational car. I ENCOURAGE inspections either by the buyer or a third party Here is a list of options that add quality and value to the car. Later I will note all the DEFECTS as no car is perfect and I keep my reputation high by being very honest. No complaints selling many cars over 50 years . The Son of the West Ohio restorer reported that this car came in second at the Ford Museum annual Old Car Festival (some years ago) but lost out as it had a white interior Engine highly modified and powerful standard Model T block high compression head Model A high flow intake and exhaust Model A Carburetor Air filter electric fuel pump 2 glass fuel filters bowl in addition to standard Ford filter and pressure cut off switch Son report that Dad installed aluminum pistons balanced engine and installed a Model A crank but I have not opened the engine to confirm this Ruckstell 2 speed rear transmission (one of the BEST Model T options) shifts smoothly Bosch rear suspension floating rear axle bearings turn signals NICE rare trough the windshield spot light accessory heavy duty rear brakes (I do not know if they are Rocky Mountain or another make) Has a new uninstalled boot for the top and the rear Ford Tan Spare Tire cover Period tool box with period jack repair parts and other period tools Defects paint is older and parts are beginning to show chips on edges of hood. Hood had hot anti freeze from a loose radiator temperature gauge spray it which has caused some spotting one 1/2 inch paint chip along piano hinge on top of the hood some paint chipping on top frame edges fenders etc some paint cracking where the front fenders flex at the running boards top is functional and appears to be an older style 2 or 3 layer canvas fabric (canvas?) with a separate interior padding and liner The top Keeps the rain out fine but looks old. Harder to keep clean. The white trim around the top should be repainted or stained white One 3 inch pinch tear developed this week where the fabric top on rear most top frame pinched on top drivers side Has a rare model collectible distributor. I would definitely sell it to a collector and replace it with the original coil box 4 coil system or a new Texas T distributor. BEFORE going on long tours. In my opinion the original coils are best The majority of engine failures on tours are with older distributors. Rear tires are functional but tread is worn. Should be replaced within 500 miles before long tours Spare has good tread I need to re ground head lamps before the sale as when I hit a bump they can flicker rear window frames appear to have paint over corrosion one rear glass window is cracked two oil cups lubricating suspension have missing hinge tops which I will replace Spotlight. other interior lights I have never turned on or learned how to turn on I do work hard on greasing changing oil checking safety wiring on the wish bone checking for no leaks on the rear wheel seals etc. I try and keep cars maintained I can transport to the Model T Covered Bridge Tour for 45 cents a mile This is a fantastic tour with 32 covered bridges and back country roads full of Model T's following a prescribed route each day It is west of Indianapolis Indiana in Parke County Google it I have a nice 26 foot dual axle trailer with electric brakes and an electric hoist I use to pull the car up on the trailer I can sell for $ 1,000 with the car I can store free for 90 days after payment insured I do help transport cars to Chicago for overseas shipments Insured through Hagerty's for $ 16,000 Reason for selling I need the cash to help out a family member or I would not be selling it. This is a good car.. Every show I have entered it has won a trophy. Been in MANY parades and weddings |

Seinfeld's Porsches, '61 Ferrari lead the way at Gooding Amelia Island sale
Tue, Mar 1 2016If you're in the market for a sports car with celebrity provenance or just an incredibly well-preserved high-performance machine, then you'll want to check out Gooding & Company's Amelia Island auction in Florida on March 11. The highlight of the sale is likely 18 cars, mostly Porsches, from Jerry Seinfeld's collection, but there's more to see than just the comedian's sporting metal. While several of Seinfeld's cars carry auction estimates in the millions, they aren't the most valuable at the sale. That honor falls on a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, which could sell for between $15 million and $17 million. This one is among the 37 examples with covered headlights, and it has some theatrical provenance after appearing in the Sophia Loren film Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow. If your tastes skew more American, then one of 31 Ford GT40 MKI road cars is also among the lots. Gooding expects the rare coupe to sell for between $3.2 million and $3.6 million. Ford originally used this GT40 for dealer promotions, but it eventually fell into private hands. Even today, its multiple owners have only covered around 3,200 miles in it. Gooding also expects a 1931 Duesenberg Model J Disappearing-Top Convertible Coupe with a body by Murphy to bring $2.5 million to $3 million. The auction house claims this might be the "most original" example left because of a history of owners who kept it for long periods – and the vehicle never needed a complete restoration. Some lots carry more attainable estimates like $35,000 for a 1962 MGA. You can check out all the listings on Gooding's online catalog and some of the highlights in the gallery above. You've probably read the news about Seinfeld's Porsches, but here's a refresher: The collection includes amazing cars like a 550 Spyder, 917/30 Can-Am Spyder, and a 718 RSK. Related Video:
2015 Ford Mustang production to begin on July 14? Not quite, says Ford
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Mustang6g.com believes that it has unlocked start date for 2015 Ford Mustang production citing a Ford dealer communiqué. According to the report, job one on the 2015 hardtop will allegedly start in just a few days, on July 14, although units that are known as "OK to Buy" won't enter production until September 9. The cars built between those dates are most likely final pre-production cars for the executive test fleet, and will likely include the cars we'll be driving at the media launch.
Sun worshippers, meanwhile, would seem to have a longer wait. Job one on the droptop supposedly isn't slated to start until September 14, with production models starting on October 27. As is the case with the hardtop, these final pre-pros are for the execs and media to test, while actual dealer orders will come from vehicles made after the October date.
After speaking to Ford, though, we wouldn't put a great deal of stock in those dates as reported. We reached out to Said Deep, Ford's North American Product Communications Manager.
2014 Ford Fiesta gets fuel economy bump to 41 mpg
Fri, 07 Jun 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta is in showrooms now with refreshed styling and new performance ST model, but it's what isn't yet available that should help the Fiesta stand out from the growing crowd of subcompacts. Aside from the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost model coming later this year, Ford recently told us that a new Fiesta SFE trim level is on the way that should put the updated Fiesta at the top of its class for fuel economy.
The new Fiesta SFE will hit an estimated 41 miles per gallon on the highway when equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission. The current listing on fueleconomy.gov shows the 2014 Fiesta getting up to 29 mpg city and 39 highway, but the SFE will get minor aero tuning and a recalibrated engine controller to help bump the highway figure past rivals like the Chevrolet Sonic and Nissan Versa - both of which top out at 40-mpg highway. There's still no word as to when the small 1.0-liter EcoBoost will show in the US, but Ford has indicated that engine's fuel economy isn't expected to be released until October.
