Up for auction is this original 1927 Ford Model T Racer. The chassis, body and engine are original. Original restored wire wheels. This awesome ride goes 50 mph with no hesitation. Completely rebuilt transmission using Kevlar bands, Jack Rabbit clutch, Springs, Bushings, etc. The engine was rebuilt last year professionally for performance and reliability. Since completion last year, I have driven this car on average of 4-5 times a week around town, weather permitting. It is very reliable. It should be, because every nut and bolt; as well as every mechanical component has been rebuilt. Don’t let the paint job, or lack there of, fool you. Under that fantastic patina is a show car, with over $30K invested keeping everything factory stock and period correct. The only thing that’s been added is the Rocky Mountain brakes (It goes fast and stops just as well!), new modern distributor and alternator. Engine & Transmission: Fresh rebuild using aluminum pistons [60 over]. High compression racing “Z” head. New US made Crankshaft. Heat-treated, with main and rod journals ground and polished to a 6-micro finish. Dynamically balanced. New high lift Camshaft, 280 grind with short front bearing journal. New Camshaft bearings. New 7-1/2 degree distributor timing gear for extra speed. Rebuilt for high flow original Holley NH carburetor. Balanced engine. Rebuilt Transmission, top to bottom. New distributor, points, plugs and wires. New throttle and choke linkage. New ignition and AMP gauge. Rebuilt Hogshead with all new seals and gaskets. Lightened flywheel. Magneto removed. Original early 20’s perfect set of bubble headlights, very bright. Original accessory ‘through the glass’ Clymer spotlight (These in working order and in their original glass are ridiculously impossible to find). Works great. Large period correct horn. Loud. NOS accessory adjustable steering wheel tension stabilizer. Custom cut and fit oak floors. Completely rebuilt rear end, including axle and bearings. Newly installed Rocky Mountain Brakes. New radiator, hoses, clamps and fan belt. New exhaust manifold, pipes and stock muffler. New aluminum intake manifold. Custom leather barrel seats. Battery kill switch. New large Model T oval gas tank. Installed in trunk area. Twin Model T brake lights. Completely rebuilt suspension, steering and new reinforced front sway bars. New ignition coil and Optima battery. Storage compartment under removable barrel seats. Steering wheel and windshield are original, and perfect. Completely rewired. Everything works as it should. Note: This is not your typical barn find that someone hacked up and attempted to make a rusty piece to look like an authentic vintage racer. This was a near rust free stock body and chassis with a running motor and transmission. The paint was left untouched, other than putting on a new $450 deck lid. The frame was reinforced [particularly in the rear] for safety reasons due to the increased speed capability. This is a remarkably correct Model T Racer, and is without question one of the finest factory stock component Model T’s anywhere. i am willing to ship this car within 300 miles of 37174 at no cost. Otherwise buyer is responsible for their own shipping. If you have any questions please call me anytime - Brad 727-439-9525. |

Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
Ford recalls 125,000 Maverick, Escape, Corsair hybrids over fire risk
Tue, Jun 6 2023Ford is recalling more than 125,000 Maverick, Escape and Lincoln Corsair hybrids produced for the 2020-2023 model years to address a fire risk associated with failure of their internal combustion engines, which Ford says is happening with undue frequency. In the event of an engine block breach, oil and fuel vapors may collect under hood in places that would make them prone to ignition, meaning that an engine failure can do more than leave owners stranded. "Isolated engine manufacturing issues have resulted in 2.5L HEV/PHEV engine failures involving engine block or oil pan breach," Ford said in its defect report to NHTSA. "In the event of an engine block or oil pan breach, the HEV/PHEV system continues to propel the vehicle allowing the customer to continue to drive the vehicle. As the customer continues to drive after a block breach, oil and/or fuel vapor continues to be expelled and accumulates near ignition sources, primarily expected to be the exhaust system." Per Ford, the "manufacturing issues" include poor machining of the engine crankshaft and contamination of engine block mating surfaces during assembly. The issue has been fixed in production, but 2.5-liter engines that escaped the factory with defects could be ticking time bombs. Ford's solution is to re-work the underhood components that allow combustible liquids and vapors near ignition sources. This way, the cars are better protected against immolation regardless of the circumstances. Signs of failure will be obvious, Ford says. Loud clanging or booming noises, a loss of power and smoke are all immediate signs that the customer should exit the roadway as safely and quickly as possible and shut the car down. Owners should expect to receive notifications by the end of June or early July. They should begin circulating by mid-month. All remediation will be handled for the customer free of charge by their Ford dealerships. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
