Up for sale is a 1924 Ford Model T Roadster that I took as a partial trade for my harley. I am no expert on old cars but I thought this would be nice to drive around in, little did I know this is not like my 2011 Ford. The old owner told me he drove this car mostly in parades and for his grandsons. When I brought it home I put it in my garage and couldn't even figure out how to get the car back into the start position. It has a HI/LO gear, a hand brake that I guess also acts as the neutral position (hard for me to find). 6 Volt system. The car has not been on the road this whole year so I decided its time to let someone else enjoy it who has time to figure out how to drive it. Throttle is in the steering shaft as is the mechanical advance (never figured that out) Reverse is a pedal on the floor, trans brake is a pedal, not sure about the third pedal, tires are new, new wiring was put in (all by the previous owner). The model T will come with boxes of extra parts and a Brand new convertible top with correct model T nails, rear doors, extra firewall, spare tire with holder, all original wiring, all the books are included, new gaskets, spare tire cover, extra rims, luggage rack, tire irons, and much more. I have never driven the car but it turns over with good compression (when in gear you can move the car with the crank) You're more then welcome to stop over and check out the car and start it if you know how. I think the rear brakes will need adjusting or something of that sort, The hand brake is very touchy. This is not a show piece but looks great from 5 feet away. Any time I open the garage people flock to the car. I have many more pictures if you need them. I will help out with transport if you need it and I'm ok with shipping it oversees if the car is paid in full first. Thanks for looking

US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe
Tue, 21 Oct 2014Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.
Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]
Wed, 29 May 2013Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too. Owners of the 2012-13 Focus and 2013 Focus ST can now get a Roush cold-air intake system, and ST owners can also opt for a high-performance cat-back exhaust.
Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.
Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
