1918 T Bucket Dusty Garage Find

Shows photo from early 1990’s with Pink Slip (Current Non Op registration)

It is currently being stored in my garage in Riverside County, CA. 

The owner is a 65 year old Vietnam vet who wants to retire and needs the money.

1918 Ford Model T registration and Vin Number (I am told by the owner that the frame is original with numbers matching the Pink Slip.) What I do know is that the 289 Cobra engine has a nice lub, lub, lub at idol and a deep Harley sounding varoom cruising around. This car is not for the timid.   Note:  This car was registered before 1977 and does not require fenders. 

This car was purchased by the owner of a pawn shop about 20 years ago and the current owner of the car now bought it in 1999.  It stayed in his garage looking sharp for almost ten years and He was a partner in an auto repair shop and kept this car stored inside up until the end of last year.  That’s when we found out that they had moved this 1918 T Bucket to a new location and it sat under a window and sunlight through window trashed the upholstery.  (See Before and After Photo.)  Spent the last 9 months helping owner clean it up, repair the interior and get this ready to hit the road.  Now, he has asked me to put this on eBay.  Sadly he now has to sell his pride and joy.  I am have this car listed locally and reserve the right to remove this listing if it sells locally and remove this listing 48 hours prior to the end of the auction.

Please email through eBay for if you have any questions and I will respond asap.

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.

This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood

Fri, Jan 30 2015

Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.
