 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

All the details on Plug In 2014 electric vehicle conference you could ever want

Wed, Aug 6 2014

One of the best parts of the Plug In 2014 Conference in San Jose, CA last week was getting to listen in on thoughts about the state of the plug-in vehicle industry from people who have been involved with it for ages. They bristle when you call them the "Old Guard" (learned that one the hard way), but these are the people who have been through a number of ups and downs with plug-in vehicles, so they've got what we call perspective. Their knowledge was on full display in the three plenary sessions, which the Plug In Conference organizers have given us permission to share with you. Each is at least 90 minutes long, so make sure to set some time aside to enjoy the discussions after you download them (any help with making them streamable would be appreciated). Follow us below to see what we've got to offer. Opening Plenary (audio link). "The Road Ahead – Delivering on a Vision for Sustainable Transportation." Moderated by Mark Duvall (director of energy utilization at EPRI, the Electric Power Research Institute, and a long-time EV advocate), this panel featured: Jack Broadbent, Executive Officer / APCO, Bay Area Air Quality Management District Pat Romano, President & Chief Executive Officer, ChargePoint, Inc. Aaron Johnson, Senior Director, Customer Programs, Pacific Gas and Electric Company Brendan Jones, Director, EV Sales Operations & Infrastructure Deployment, Nissan North America, Inc. David W. Cash, Commissioner, MassDEP Dan Sperling, Director, Institute of Transportation Studies, University of California, Davis Highlights: Educating drivers to "get over the gas station" is a key strategy, how Level 2 and DC Fast Charging are really "a new paradigm," that there have been well over 214,000 EVs sold in US as of July 2014 and where Nissan sees huge potential for more EV sales (Northeast US and medium-size cities like St. Louis and Pittsburgh). Wednesday Morning Plenary (audio link). "Getting to the Mass Market – A Discussion of Ideas for Widespread PEV Adoption." Moderated by John Gartner, research director for smart transportation at Navigant Research.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.
