1926 Model T Ford Truck on 2040-cars
Athens, Georgia, United States
This is one of those miracles in which a heap got working. It works great! Starts right up, drives, brakes on a dime. It is the original flat 4 engine. The timing is electronic. I put an alternator in after messing with the generator for way too long. The rear end has a complete rebuild. The transmission has new kevlar bands. The starter works great (you hot wire two wires right now; I have a key switch that I'll include). Lights work. There's a rear running light and a stop light. The brakes are powerful disc brakes that I installed. They work perfectly and with total confidence. The emergency brake is a drum and it is fine. It has an air filter. There's hardly any oil leaking but I can't say that it is 100% dry. I mean, really good for an old car... but it will leave a little puddle after a few months. What else? No seat belts. The tires are newer (obviously) and cool. It is a unique ride! Nobody has a car that looks like this and yes it turns heads wherever it goes. Top speed is probably 40 mph. I have no idea what the fuel consumption is. There's some rust here and there but nothing structural. Drives great. There's some play in the wheel but can be easily worked with. I haven't driven a lot of Model Ts so I don't know if it is more than usual. The car was once used by a Clown Club. Buy it!!
I know the price may be more than you'd like... but I'm selling at a loss, as it always is with these old cars. What you're getting is a mechanically perfect ancient car that can be redesigned in whatever direction you want to go in. Anyway, the price is firm. Here's a video I made of the car starting up on the crank (which is optional, since the starter works). http://youtu.be/K-YRGgtRgdA |

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.
Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum
Mon, 27 Jan 2014With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
