Vintage 1927 Ford Model T Depot Hack on rebuilt original running gear and engine. Manufacturer’s serial number 14130234. I worked with my father on the restoration including the chassis, engine, running gear, fenders, running boards, wheels, painting, radiator, gas tank, etc. The PA A code (antique motor vehicle) title is dated 05-26-72. New PA title in my name is dated 2/28/12. It is one of two complete Ford Model T Depot Hacks rebuilt from the ground up including new wood bodies, seats, hardware, side curtains, accessories, etc. Dad worked with noted Gettysburg, PA cabinet maker, Bob Dietrick, on the bodies. The body patterns were taken from an original Depot Hack in Frederick, MD. They built several bodies in varying configurations. This variation uses a single piece of finished plywood with black lines on the inside of the top and the bed and to replicate the individual wood slats used in the original. Body side panels have solid wood partitions over the finished plywood. The restoration was undertaken make the vehicle very reliable and presentable but not for show. The last registration sticker is dated 1988. The PA inspection sticker is dated 4/89. This car was always garaged and driven frequently during the 1972 to 1988 period on trips over the Gettysburg battlefield, local camping trips, Hershey antique car show, etc and was last driven sometime in the early 1990’s. I moved the car to another storage facility three years ago.

 

Vehicle is being sold in as is condition with no guarantees. It has not been run since put in original storage and has accumulated 20+ years of dust and some deterioration. Engine is free and tires still hold air. There is some separation to the wood roof interior on the left side and front due to water ingress while in the original storage area. The black fabric top cover appears in good overall condition and probably need waterproofing. The side curtains are nice as pictured but need stretched to close completely as they were stored in the rolled up position. Body/chassis is still relatively rust free with some small areas of chipping and flaking. Most noticeable rust is to/around the engine area and exhaust system. Note remnant of old fan belt and spit cleaned area on left front fender. There is a vertical crack in the upper windshield starting near the windshield wiper. There is a double spare tire mount on the left running board with a spare tire/rim that was not pictured. Vehicle is still set up in the original 6V DC configuration with electric start. A chassis/metal work wash, wood body and side curtain cleaning would greatly improve the overall appearance. Mechanically, needs at least a new fan belt and 6V battery based on visual inspection. More photos available. Includes a spare engine/transmission (crank turns/not running as pictured) and radiator. Great winter project in time for the spring touring season.

 

Contact me via email or phone at 717-357-8799 with questions or more pictures. Vehicle is available for local pick-up only. Close of auction constitutes contract to purchase. $500 down payment is due within 3 days of auction close via PayPal, USPS Money Order or Cashiers/Certified Check. Balance is due via cashiers/certified check within 7 days of close of auction. Funds must clear prior to pick-up/transfer of title.

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.

2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.
