Hello and thank you for looking at this BEAUTIFUL piece of American history. Up for auction is a fully restored 1926 Ford Model T Roadster Pickup. I acquired this vehicle a few months ago. I picked it up so I could park it next to my late grandfather's 1930 Model A that was handed down to me. They look excellent together however, I never drive this truck and I hate seeing it sit and collect dust. It is time to find a home that will love her more than I will.
I will admit, I do not know much about Model T's so please bear with me. I will tell you what I know about it and if you have any further questions, please ask them. I will post all questions and answers so that everyone else can see them.
The gentleman that I received this truck from bought it from the guy who had it restored. As you can see in the pictures, they did a FULL restoration. Nothing was skimped on. I was told that the engine and transmission were gone through during the time of restoration. Yes, of course it runs. I start it once in a while and let if run for a minute or two. I have only drove it ONCE. I drove it down the street and back. I was very nervous on driving such a piece of art and not being too familiar with the controls.
I personally would rate this trucks condition a 9 out of 10. The reasoning for that is there is a very small ding by the license plate (pictured). There is also a lil scratch here and there too. Trust me, it is one of the cleanest vehicles that I have seen. It is ALL STEEL. No fiberglass. I went through the truck extensively and I could not find any dents or places where body work has been performed. NO BONDO.
It does have electric start with a newer 6 volt battery. As far as I know, all the lights work. The top folds down perfectly. Glass is perfect. Has stock carburetor on it that has been rebuilt by some company on the internet. All of the fenders have been undercoated (pictured). If you look at the pictures you will notice that even underneath the body was painted.
All the wheels and tires look in great shape. It steered down the road perfectly for me. Brakes seemed to be great. I had no complaints about how it handled. Both doors close and open perfectly. Who ever restored this truck did it correctly and spared no expense. It does have a clear California title and is currently registered. It is titled as a 1921 for some reason though. I can not tell you why. It will come with a couple older manuals for model T's. They look like they are from the 50's.
I believe I have covered everything that I know about this BEAUTIFUL truck. It has always been covered and stored indoors. I do not require a paypal deposit. I do however, require the auction's balance to be paid in full within 7 days of the auction's end in the form of a certified check from a bank that is located across the country such as Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc, etc. I do this because I have a small town bank and it will take a week to clear payment otherwise. I can clear the certified check immediately and overnight you the title. The shipping is up to the winner of the auction. I will assist the shippers in loading the truck and take pictures of the process. If you need to store the truck here for some time, I have no problem with that. Please look at all of the pictures and ask all questions prior to bidding. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!!

Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand
Thu, 03 Apr 2014The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant
Tue, Jun 17 2014How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.
