 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

2016 Ford F-150 gets Sync 3, appearance packs

Wed, Jun 24 2015

After the groundbreaking move to aluminum for the bodywork of the 2015 Ford F-150, it's easy to understand Ford keeping the updates light for the 2016 model. However, while there are no drastic changes for the upcoming model year, customers will benefit from a few tiny tweaks. Among the biggest improvement to the truck's usability is the move to the Blue Oval's latest Sync 3 infotainment system to replace Sync with MyFord Touch. Now running on Blackberry's QNX, the software claims to be faster and more intuitive. It also means a redesigned screen layout. As a pickup, the F-150 is meant to work, and Ford's trying to make that a little easier with the newly available Pro Trailer Backup Assist. When activated, drivers turn a knob in the direction they want the trailer to go. From there, the truck makes the necessary steering changes and limits the speed. Finally, for buyers wanting some extra style, Ford is bringing some updates to the exterior. Shadow Black and Lithium Gray are new colors that replace Tuxedo Black and Guard Metallic, respectively. There are also now brawny looking Special Edition Appearance Packages for the XLT and Lariat (pictured above) that include 20-inch anodized aluminum wheels, black running boards, smoked headlights, and side graphics. Both have a dark grille but with red accents on the Lariat and black mesh on the XLT. Inside, the seats feature Alcantara inserts with red bolsters, and crimson accent stitching is throughout the cabin. Finally, there is also the previously announced compressed natural gas prep pack. Feel free to read all about the new 2016 F-150 in the press release below. 2016 F-150 CONTINUES TO INNOVATE WITH AVAILABLE PRO TRAILER BACKUP ASSIST, ALTERNATIVE FUEL CAPABILITY AND SYNC 3 Pro Trailer Backup Assist helps make backing up a trailer as easy as turning a knob New Special Edition Appearance Packages available on XLT and Lariat with unique wheels, graphics and finishes Compressed Natural Gas/Propane gaseous fuel prep package available for 5.0-liter V8-equipped F-150s, helping reduce operating costs and tailpipe CO2 emissions The 2016 Ford F-150, part of Ford F-Series, America's best-selling truck for 38 years, continues to innovate with the addition of breakthrough towing technology, new Special Edition Appearance Packages, SYNC 3 and alternative fuel capability. All-new Pro Trailer Backup Assist makes it easier for drivers of all skill levels to back a trailer up to launch a boat or park in a driveway.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford 1.0L EcoBoost a hit in Europe; Build a tiny inverter, win $1 million

Mon, Aug 11 2014

In Europe, Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the best-selling turbocharged gasoline engine. The three-cylinder motor powers 20 percent of new Fords sold in Europe. Earlier this year, it won its third International Engine of the Year award, and between January and June, it was sold in about 120,000 cars. So far this year, 38 percent of Fords sold in the Netherlands, 35 percent in Denmark and 32 percent in Switzerland have been powered by the 1.0-liter EcoBoost. The engine's turbocharger spins at 248,000 rpm, and provides 24 psi of pressure. The engine produces up to 138 horsepower, depending on the version. Read more in the press release below. When lithium-ion battery packs are retired from the road, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling are worthwhile options, according to a study by Mineta Transportation Institute. The study included a cost-benefit analysis of those three options, and found remanufacturing to be the best route. To get the most out of them, batteries should be tested and have their damaged cells replaced then put back to use. Repurposing is the second best option, using the remaining available charge for something besides cars. Recycling on its own isn't profitable, but it could make economic sense with "increased technological breakthroughs." Learn more at Recycling International or download the report here. A smaller inverter for EVs can win you $1 million. The Little Box Challenge is an open competition to build a power inverter with a density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch. Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are offering the hefty prize to the team that builds the inverter with the highest power density within an enclosed volume of 40 cubic inches. Teams must register by September 30. Read more at Green Car Congress or learn more at the Little Box Challenge website.

This is the 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum, full of Nirvana

Mon, Aug 31 2015

We knew two the most important things about the Platinum trim on the Ford Explorer when the configurator arrived online at the end of last year: it starts at $52,600 and comes standard with just about everything. In advance of the Explorer Platinum arriving at dealerships in September, Ford's dropped details on the superluxe crossover and what its chief designer calls "the most upscale, high-quality interior we've ever offered on a Ford vehicle in North America." So-called Nirvana leather goes everywhere, on the micro-perforated front seats, the rear seats, the instrument panel, armrests, door bolsters, and upper door trim. It looks like it can be had in two colors, either Soft Ceramic or Ebony, with a headliner colored Anthracite that goes with a matching, fabric-wrapped A-pillar. Elsewhere, there's genuine aluminum and ash wood, a stitched-leather-and-wood steering wheel with a brushed aluminum Ford logo, and a gauge cluster with a 10-inch digital display flanked by analog dials. View 16 Photos Another first is the 500-watt Sony stereo, the first time that brand has incorporated its premium home audio technology into a vehicle. Twelve speakers in ten locations are said to be able to recreate the sound from several concert halls around the world, and to stage instruments and voices around the cabin the same way you'd hear them at home. The Explorer Platinum is less ostentatious outside, with LED headlights, silver skidplates front and back, and special 20-inch wheels denoting the Platinum from other trims. The 365-horsepower, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 is standard, along with Terrain Management, active park assist that works for both perpendicular and parallel spots, lane keeping assistance, and rain-sensing wipers. The two press releases below go over all the goodies.
