Up for auction at NO RESERVE is a 1919 Ford Model T 3 door Touring car. The car is a '19 touring body with a '23 chassis. It's a fun little car that runs strong. Plenty of power with no smoke. Engine and rear end were already gone through when I got the car. Radiator is in great shape. New 12v battery. Electric start. New Champion X spark plugs. Rebuilt carb. New Anderson timer. New manifold gaskets. Brake, reverse, and high/low band are in great shape. Has a brand new fuel tank. Rust Free. Chassis is in good condition, wheels are beautiful and all spokes are tight. I'm pretty sure it is an original Ford body and is restorable, or can be used as is. It has no major dents, however it has a few welds on it. The wood is in good shape. I have been playing with and driving the car as it is, but to make it complete, it needs a windshield, interior, top, splash aprons, hood shelves, hood latches(included), one door latch striker, e-brake rods(included), horn, steering column support strap, and a little bit of wiring(key switch, headlamp pigtail, etc.) There may be a few minor items I am leaving out. I have never tried to run the car on mag but I bet its in good working order considering the work that was put into the engine. But that is just speculation. the car really does run great and stops people in their track wherever you go. You could choose to fully complete an easy restoration on this little car, or drive it just the way it is now. What you see in the pictures is what you get. The car will be sold on a bill of sale, however if the buyer wants me to go through the process to get a title, it takes approximately 8 weeks through the new process in the state of Arkansas to get one. That will be strictly up to the buyer. No paypal on this item please. Cashier's check, USPS money order, or cash only upon pickup. Complete payment must be made within 5 days of auction end. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to store the item so I cannot hold onto it. I have one of my antique tractors kicked out of the shop right now, so I need to get it back in there ASAP. Buyer needs to contact me within 24 hours of the auction end to arrange payment and pickup. There may be a possibility that I could deliver for a fee, depending on my schedule in the next 2 weeks. Please do not bid if you cannot or do not plan to pay for the item under these terms. I hope to have some links to some videos up in the next day or two. Please, if you have any questions, contact me by phone or text at 870-882-9670. I would love to talk with you about it. Thanks for looking!

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.

Ward's calls out Ford's EcoBoost engines for their crummy fuel economy

Thu, Jan 8 2015

With a name like EcoBoost, one might expect Ford's line of turbocharged engines to be somewhat, um, economical. In other words, replacing displacement with a turbocharger is supposed to deliver better fuel economy. Based on the experience time and time again of multiple Autoblog editors, your author included, this is simply not the case. Now, Ward's is calling out the cruddy efficiency numbers of Ford's EcoBoost line of engines. The column dresses down not just the new 2.7-liter V6 of the 2015 F-150, but also the 2.3-liter of the Mustang, the 1.5-liter from the Fusion and the 3.2-liter PowerStroke diesel found in the Transit, while also explaining why just one Ford engine was named to Ward's 10 Best Engines list. In its testing of all four engines, Ward's editors never came even remotely close to matching the 2.7's claimed 26 miles per gallon (for two-wheel-drive models), with the truck's computer indicating between 17.6 and 19 mpg over a 250-odd-mile run. Calculating the fuel economy manually revealed an even more depressing 15.6 miles per gallon. Criticisms with the 2.3-liter four-cylinder focused on its strange soundtrack, although it was business as usual with the 1.5-liter and 3.2 diesel, with Ward's criticizing the fuel economy of both engines. The 1.5, which Ward's claims is sold as a hybrid alternative, failed to get over 30 miles per gallon, while the five-cylinder turbodiesel's figures couldn't stand up against FCA's 3.0-liter EcoDiesel. The entire column really is worth a read, especially if you were disappointed in Ward's decision to only salute Ford's three-cylinder EcoBoost while shunning the rest of the company's new turbocharged mills.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
