1923 Ford T Bucket Roadster on 2040-cars
Plainfield, Illinois, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Ford
Drive Type: Rear Wheel
Model: Model T
Mileage: 12,000
Trim: Model T
Up for bid is a meticulously maintained 1923 T-Bucket custom roadster. The fiberglass body is from Spirit Industries and the powder-coated frame has been stretched to 110”. The T-Bucket features a 351W engine and a 671 blower from the Blower Shop sitting on a custom made intake for this application. Just underneath the shotgun-style air intake sit two 600cfm Edelbrock carburetors. The engine is all billet and chrome and polished to a mirror finish; and while it hasn’t been on a dyno, horsepower calculates out to around 500. The vehicle weight without the driver is 2100lbs. The rest of the drive train is composed of a TCI C4 trans, built out to Stage II to handle the additional horsepower and torque; and a Winter’s polished Quick-Change rear end. Installed ratios are 2:99 and 4:75 (when gears are flipped). The steering is made up of a Flaming River reversed Corvair gearbox and a Flaming River chrome steering column. The suspension is an all chrome Mr.Roadster with heavy duty Spirit radius rods. It has a 12V electrical system with updated wiring and fuse panel; with LED turn signals and tail lights. Dash gauges are all electric Stewart-Warner; all modern type to insure accuracy. The speedometer dial itself is an analog needle, but the inner-workings are digital and can be calibrated to match your tire size by resetting dip-switches on the back. The interior is all custom, and all brand new. Two-tone blue to match the pin-striping on the car. Seats have been lowered to accommodate the chopped fiberglass roof. The roof has been upholstered to look like a convertible top, covered in Hartz-cloth.The sound system is a Secret Audio unit, concealed under the dash with an RF remote.This T sits on American Torque Thrust II, 15x14 rims wrapped with Hoosier 31x18.5 tires on the rear.The front rims are ET Gassers 15x4.5 with Michelin 145 SR15. The pictured trailer is included with this auction. It is a "soda pop" style trailer with a sturdy hinged lid. I don't know the exact dimensions right now, but can provide them to anyone interested. A guess-timate would be the trailer is somewhere in the area of 8 cubic feet. The trailer is not completed as it still requires some modifications to the gooseneck/tongue to accommodate the ride height of the car. This car is a multiple award winner. It has won the “Terrific T” class at Good Guys and the engine itself has been featured on the opening page of Good Guys monthly magazine from it's inaugural show in Joliet in 2007 (Mar 2008 issue). Most recently, this car was selected to participate in a pre-race event on track at the Chicagoland Motor Speedway before the Geico 400 last month.It has won “Best Motor” and “Best Ford in a Ford” honors almost anywhere it goes. It has been featured at the Chicago World of Wheels three times, winning top honors and returning this last year as a VIP invited exhibitor. If you want a well-built, full featured car that will turn heads everywhere you go, you can’t pass up this opportunity. A $1000 deposit is required within 48 hours of sale with the remaining balance due within 7 days via bank wire transfer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this vehicle; and thank you for your interest. This item is also being advertised locally, so seller reserves the right to end the auction at any time. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and to make whatever arrangements necessary to ship the vehicle.

Ford reveals new Galaxy van for Europe [w/video]
Mon, Apr 6 2015Here in its home market, Ford may be focusing more on crossovers, but overseas, minivans are still playing a crucial roll for global automakers. So while the Aerostar, Windstar and Freestar may have given way to the Flex and Edge, over in Europe, the Blue Oval automaker has revealed the all-new fourth-generation Galaxy. Following up on the MPV initially launched in 1995, replaced in 2000 and again in 2006, the new Galaxy features updated styling and equipment to position itself as the luxury counterpart to the sportier S-Max that just relaunched last year. Behind the Aston-style grille that's been finding its way onto just about every new passenger car Ford makes is a range of updated engine options, including two EcoBoost gasoline engines (a 1.5-liter unit with 158 horsepower or a 2.0 with 237) and a 2.0-liter turbo diesel available in states of tune ranging from 118 hp all the way up to 207. The flexible seven-seat cabin features a flat load floor, seats that stow and even deploy at the push of a button and an available full-length retractable panoramic sunroof. The new integral link rear suspension promises a smooth ride, with an available self-leveling feature just one of the many convenience and safety systems integrated into Ford's new European family hauler – the full extent of which you can read in the press release below. On your way down, you may want to check out the stunt which Ford staged with illusionist Darcy Oake to launch the new Galaxy. This content is hosted by a third party.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
