1918 T Bucket Dusty Garage Find

Shows photo from early 1990’s with Pink Slip (Current Non Op registration)

It is currently being stored in my garage in Riverside County, CA.

The owner is a 65 year old Vietnam vet who wants to retire and needs the money.

1918 Ford Model T registration and Vin Number (I am told by the owner that the frame is original with numbers matching the Pink Slip.) What I do know is that the 289 Cobra engine has a nice lub, lub, lub at idol and a deep Harley sounding varoom cruising around. This car is not for the timid. Note: This car was registered before 1977 and does not require fenders.

This car was purchased by the owner of a pawn shop about 20 years ago and the current owner of the car now bought it in 1999. It stayed in his garage looking sharp for almost ten years and He was a partner in an auto repair shop and kept this car stored inside up until the end of last year. That’s when we found out that they had moved this 1918 T Bucket to a new location and it sat under a window and sunlight through window trashed the upholstery. (See Before and After Photo.) Spent the last 9 months helping owner clean it up, repair the interior and get this ready to hit the road. Now, he has asked me to put this on eBay. Sadly he now has to sell his pride and joy. I am have this car listed locally and reserve the right to remove this listing if it sells locally and remove this listing 48 hours prior to the end of the auction.

Please email through eBay for if you have any questions and I will respond asap.

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.

Mustang-themed pinball game debuting in Chicago [w/video]

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

Believe it or not, but new pinball machines are still being made. Chicago-based Stern Pinball still makes them and has found a niche selling modern machines to individual buyers and arcade distributors. For its latest cabinet, Stern partnered with Ford to create a pinball game that pays homage to the 50th anniversary of the Mustang, including the next generation. The new machine is being unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show on February 6 and goes on sale in March.
Stern is offering the machine in three variants. The pro-level machine is meant for arcades and public spaces and retails for $4,995. All of them come with background and cabinet art by Camilo Pardo, who designed the Ford GT, and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is the game's announcer. Depending on where players shoot the ball, they activate events that simulate drag racing, rallying, drifting and racing the Mustang, and hitting targets lets players shift the gears up and down.
An upgraded, premium table with added art will be added later for pinball machine collectors. The third model is a signed, special edition with art of the 1965 Mustang and 2015 Mustang on the machine and chrome and Mustang badges on the speaker grilles. Prices for these editions will be announced later.

Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
