Purchased from an estate this 1919 Paco bodied model T Racer is offered for sale.  The Paco  body was made in Galesberg Ill in 1919.  The Paco Speedster all steel bodies were made from 1916 to 1920.  Made to be mounted on a Model T frame they were patterned to resemble the Indy racers of the day.  This model is equipped with the mechanics seat which was the way Indy cars were built in that era, and were very popular on the dirt tracks  until the Forties.  This example is powered by the very rare Frontinac conversion of the Ford Model T engine.  The Frontinac Engine company of Indianoplis was owned by the Chevrolet Bros and was  the leading supplier of engines and conversion for the Indy 500 and other racers in the 1920s.  This is a model R head and conversion the very same that won the 1923 Indy 500 and placed 6 through 10 in 1922.  This engine conversion included steel balanced crank, Camel water pump, Fully pressurized lube system, distributor,downdraft model OC2 Stromberg carb, Model R overhead valve head and  manifolds plus numerous other Frontinac upgrades.  These Model R conversions are capable of 4200 rpm and can cruise all day at that level.  This one runs flawlessly and is coupled to a modern C4 Ford automatic with a Borg-Warner overdrive making top speed of over 90 MPH.  Rear axle is narrrowed model T, brakes  are Girling 4 wheel hydraulic.  12 volt system with electric starter    Seat cushion is removable with leather patterned closely to the orginal Paco interior.   This racer was found in a Southern California salvage yard and has been restored to resemble its appearance as a dirt track racer in the thirties.  Street legal with lights and stoplight.  Perfect for cruises or even the " Great Race".   I just brought the car back from a weekend at the vintage races at Road America and it will supply days of fun for the buyer at the many vintage car races through-out the US.  Car is located in Austin Mn and available for inspection anytime during the auction.  If unable to inspect the winning bidder, after a $1000. paypal deposit within 24 hours, will have ten days to inspect.  If for any reason buyer chooses not to complete purchase, he may "walk-away" and one-half of deposit will be refunded.  Any questions please E-Mail or call John @ 507 279 0752.

Ford Australia reveals updated Territory, Falcon via Twitter

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Ford may have tied together much of its global lineup under the One Ford campaign, but one market where it still offers unique products is Australia. That will soon draw to a close as well, but before it does, the Blue Oval's Aussie operations are rolling out refreshed versions of its two unique products. For the moment, Ford isn't revealing much in the way of powertrain details, but it has shown off a couple of snaps of the revised products on its in-market Twitter feed.
First up is the new Territory. The SUV is neither based on a front-drive crossover platform nor on a truck frame, but shares its rear-drive underpinnings with the Falcon, taking it a step beyond the Falcon wagon alongside which it sits in Ford's Aussie range. Like the outgoing third-generation SZ Territory, the facelifted version is dominated by a narrow grille and larger front air dam, but further punctuates its big-chinned look with more rugged lower cladding and other metallic inserts that bring its look up to date.
And there's the Falcon, which Ford revealed in XR8 trim just last week and is now presenting in G6E spec. If the XR8 is the performance model, the G6E is the luxury version, swapping in more refined trim like a chrome-slat grille (instead of a black honeycomb), chrome foglamp surrounds, less-aggressive multi-spoke wheels (instead of five-spokes) and a flatter hood (instead of a power bulge). Otherwise, it looks essentially the same as the one we saw last week, its facelift bringing it more in line with the smaller, front-drive Mondeo (which we know here as the Fusion) and other members of the Ford family.

Surprise! More Ford and Lincoln cars found with marijuana

Thu, Jul 27 2017

Ford is starting to have a serious problem on its hands. Today, ABC 7 in Detroit reported that another batch of Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars were found packed with 227 pounds of marijuana. This is a little over a week after Fords in Ohio were found stuffed with marijuana and only about two months after Fords in Minnesota were found full of weed. All of the cars traveled on train from Mexico to their destination. All in, several thousand pounds and several million dollars worth of marijuana has been discovered. According to the report, Immigration and Customs Enforcement found the cars at the Ford Rail Distribution Facility in Woodhaven, Michigan, just south of Ford's world headquarters in Dearborn. ICE became involved after a Ford employee reported the cars to Woodhaven police. It's unclear when and where the cars were packed with marijuana. With the cars in Minnesota, it's believed that the weed was added after leaving the factory but before being loaded on the train. Spare tires were removed and the space was used to smuggle the marijuana. Related Video:

Ford 'working very hard' on F-150 hybrid

Thu, Dec 4 2014

The lighter, aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 gets (at best) 26 miles per gallon. That's not bad for a truck that size – and we should always remember that improving gas guzzlers can make a big difference – but what if the popular truck came with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain? How efficient would that be? We heard Ford talking about such a vehicle last year, and now we learn that Ford is still "working very hard" to make a F-150 hybrid happen. You want details? Well, we all want details, but those will not be coming for quite some time. Last year, Ford's global product development chief, Raj Nair, said that the company was planning to have hybrid pickups and hybrid SUVs on sale by 2020. With fuel prices dropping, Nair is now saying that a hybrid F-150 makes more sense, financially, than a diesel, but Ford could make both options available, depending on customer demand. The diesel wouldn't require all that much work, Nair said, since "we've got diesels in the portfolio." To date, the only hybrid F-150s we've seen have been conversions, often PHEVs, like this example from HVET or this one from Quantum. Pickup trucks from other manufacturers haven't been greeted with huge sales numbers. General Motors stopped making its big two-mode hybrids and cancelled the next-gen program.
