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 |

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time
Fri, 27 Sep 2013We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.
