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.

NHTSA probes 2014 Ford Edge Sport 22-inch alloy wheels

Wed, May 27 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Ford Edge Sport for the possibility its 22-inch wheels could break while on the road. This affects an estimated 20,000 examples of the crossover, according to NHTSA. The case that instigated this evaluation was submitted to NHTSA in November 2014. The driver reported that the front, right corner of the vehicle suddenly dipped, and the Edge went into a field. No one was harmed, but upon investigation, the wheel had broken into two pieces, according to The Detroit News. When this happened, this crossover had been driven an estimated 8,500 miles. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant "to assess the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequences of the alleged defect in the subject vehicles." If a problem is discovered during the investigation, this process can lead to a recall. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog, "We will cooperate with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." INVESTIGATION Subject : Wheel Separation Date Investigation Opened: MAY 20, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15020 Component(s): WHEELS All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD EDGE 2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: On November 29, 2014, ODI received a complaint (ODI No. 10661278) reporting the sudden failure of an original equipment 22-inch alloy wheel rim that failed on a model year 2014 Ford Edge. The right-front corner of the vehicle suddenly dropped while driving, causing the vehicle to drive off the road and into a field. The right-front wheel rim was found to have broken into two pieces. The owner said that there was no prior warning or wheel related problems with the vehicle. The vehicle had been driven approximately 8,500 miles at the time of the incident. A preliminary evaluation has been opened to assess the scope, frequency and safety-related consequences of the alleged defect in the subject vehicles. Related Video:

Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.

Hear the 2015 Mustang GT V8 roar for the first time

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

Our combined knowledge of the 2015 Ford Mustang continues to deepen, as spy shooters have begun to compile video and audio of the upcoming sixth-generation car.
Case in point is this latest series of video clips, which not only gives us a great vantage point of the Mustang in motion, but also allows us to hear the Ford V8 engine and exhaust. After perusing the aural delights of this short video, which, admittedly, doesn't catch the Mustang GT at full song, we can at least say that the throaty exhaust isn't disappointing.
Chances are good that the 2015 Mustang GT will debut with some version of the current (and excellent) Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine, though we're unclear as to whether or not the motor has been massaged for its next-gen debut, or what may have been done to exhaust plumbing. At this point, we're just happy to hear the pony run. Scroll below to hear for yourself.
