Up for auction is a super sharp 1914 Model T Ford Touring car. 1914 was the first year of the complete moving assembly used by Ford Motor Company. This car was ground off restored in the late 80s or early 90s and a rebuilt 1916 engine was installed at that time. The body is glass smooth and laser straight. There are a few crackling areas in the paint but not many- a very good driver quality paint job.  Good solid top with diamond seated upholstery with normal wear from usage. The car starts, stops and drives like a stock Model T should. New safety glass in the windshield. Cotton bands in the trans work well- all fluids have been changed and the entire rear axle was recently overhauled with new bronze thrust washers and new lined brakes.


Good solid tight wooden wheels, good tires and tubes, solid running gear with a reinforced above axle wishbone for safety. Good sparking coils and all new hoses and recently cleaned original working radiator. I added a new KW timer for superior spark and then cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor. Has the rarer Wilmo combined exhaust and intake manifold for heated air intake. I can pull twice on the crank choked and either get a free-start or just 1-2 pulls more on the crank and she’ll kick over with battery assist. No smoke nor knock in the motor.

 

I enjoy this car but am looking to get something a little later. Aluminum hood, working bulb brass Rubes horn, and all matching tail, side-lamps and headlamps make this a really nice complete 1914 car to be proud of. Car comes with an original running board tool box, spare battery for the coils and an original acetylene generator mounted on the running boards. From what I can tell- all correct running gear except for the front spring- that's a later taper style, rear spring is the true 1914 rounded style.


Winner to pay a non-refundable $500 due at auction close through PayPal and balance is due upon pick-up of car. A bank wire transfer is safest for both parties, and is really preferred, although cash will work as well. If the winner wants to do PayPal we’ll need to chat about that option. Please ask any and all questions ahead of time; I do not have the ability to deliver, sorry. I have a clean title in my name matching the engine number. Thanks for looking!

Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]

Fri, 30 May 2014

Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
