1925 Ford Model-t, Hot Rod, Rat Rod, Roadster, Traditional Hot Rod, T-bucket on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States

Up for auction is a neat little Model-T Roadster. This car was built in the early 80's by a talented builder who wanted his own a version of a car he had seen in an early 50's hot rod magazine (included in sell). In 1951 Johnny Cunningham built a very cool full fendered T that had a chopped windshield and cut down 1936 Ford Truck grille. It retained the original turtle deck and used 1934 Ford wire wheels with big and little tires. This car is an updated version of the Cunningham T. Since the car was built in the 1080's, there have not been many changes, owning to the quality and style of the original build. This is a finished car that needs nothing to enjoy right now. Just bump the key and go. Body: It is a high quality early fiberglass T roadster body built by So-Cal. It has a functioning passenger door to ease getting in and out. The turtle deck and fenders are also fiberglass. They are very thick, high quality components. The fenders have steel tubing under them for support. The running boards are steel and are functional. They are supported by steel connection to the frame. The hood and side curtins are steel and handmade, while the grille is an original 1936 Ford truck grille that was chopped 1/4. The paint on the coar is from it's original build in the 80's and is showing some age. there are a few chips and blemishes, but it adds to the charm and character of the car. There are lots of neat little details to this car, such as the original Guide headlights to the tail light brackets that are made from Model-A lug wrenches. There is some clean modest pin-striping on the rear tail pan. The letter B on the number represents the class the early 50's hot rodders would use at the Bonnivelle salt flats for a normaly asperated 6 cylinder. Chassis: This car is built on a handmade rectangular tube chassis. It uses transverse springs front and rear. The front axle is an un-dropped Model A unit using Model A brakes with a very thick hydraulic wheel cylinder conversion. The rear axle is a Ford 8" that is held in place by front 30's style wishbones that have been reinforced and inverted. Keeping with the traditional theme of the build the front of the car used Houdaille lever action shocks and an F-100 steering box. For rolling stock, it uses 1935 Ford 16" wire wheels with Coker Firestone tires. 7.00x16 rear and 4.50x16 fronts giving it a nice rubber rake. Its sits low and cool. Drive Train: Since it was a must to have a hood on this car, a compact 2.6Lt. V6 was chosen for motivation. It is backed by a 4 speed manual transmission with Hurst linkage. This drive train is super reliable, exhaust has two glass packs, giving the car a great sound that turns heads. It has a 10 gallon fuel tank and gets excellent fuel economy. The four speed transmission makes the car a blast to drive. Its will run highway speeds, but don't expect it to set any records in the 1/4 mile. This is a get out and cruise the Parks, Beaches,strips kind of car, Its just flat out Cool... Interior: The interior has a two-tone vinyl done in tuck and roll. It was done several years ago, and shows some age, but is still very presentable and comfortable, No tears. It seats 2 adults comfortably. the functioning door makes it easy to get in and out of. the dash is wood adn uses all Stewart Warner instruments including a working tach and speedometer. This T is a bare bones hot rod and does not have A/C, Heat, or a radio. I am 6'2" 220# with a 35" inseam (long legs) and fit just fine behind the wheel. This car has been on the road for several years and has had all the bugs worked out of it. It is a no excuses traditional hot rod that gathers a crowd every place it goes. The car needs nothing to enjoy right now, you can jump in and drive this car anywhere. It runs great and gets great fuel mileage. It is priced to sell fast. It would be a great car for anyone looking to get into the car hobby or someone who wants something really unique for their collection. Car has a clear Florida title and titled as a 1985.

Junkyard Gem: 1993 Mercury Topaz GS Sedan
Sat, Aug 13 2022As long as the Mercury brand existed — a period spanning the 1939 through 2011 model years — nearly every Mercury sold in the United States was more or less a redecorated Ford model. The Torino had its Montego sibling, the Crown Victoria had the Grand Marquis, the Cougar was based on everything from the Mustang to the Mondeo, and so on. Naturally, when the folks in Dearborn developed the Ford Tempo compact, a Mercury version had to be created. This was the Topaz, with the official launch of both cars taking place on the deck of the aircraft carrier often referred to as the USS Decrepit. You can't make this stuff up! The Tempo/Topaz, also known as the Tempaz, has largely faded from our collective automotive memory by now, since it broke no significant new engineering or styling ground (this story would be much different if Ford had only put the amazing straight-eight "T-Drive" Tempaz powertrain into production) and didn't have any endearing features other than being a cheap domestic competitor to the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Still, close to 3 million Tempazes left North American Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms during the 1984-1994 period. As you'd expect, most of these disposable cars disappeared from both the street and the car graveyard long ago. It takes a very special Tempaz for me to break out my camera while I'm patrolling my local wrecking yards; generally, this means an ultra-rare all-wheel-drive version or at least a very early model in super-clean condition. Today's Junkyard Gem is neither, but I took one look at this spectacular Bordello Red crypto-velour-and-slippery-plastic interior and recognized that this was no ordinary junkyard Mercury. It appears that Mercury had dropped the idea of clever names for base-grade seat fabrics by the time of the Topaz, referring to this stuff as just "cloth" in all the brochures I could find. That's too bad, because Mercurys had cool names for upholstery (e.g., Chromatex) in the old days. The interior is in very good condition but the steering wheel shows substantial wear, so I think this is a high-mile Topaz that got meticulous care from its owner or owners. Ford used five-digit odometers on these cars until the end of production, however, so we'll never know if this reading indicates 65,404 miles or 365,404 miles. The body is very straight, but there's some nasty corrosion behind the right front wheelwell.
Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute
Fri, Jan 9 2015Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.
Ford recalls Explorer and Lincoln MKC for fire hazard
Thu, Mar 31 2016The Basics: Ford will recall 5,536 examples of the 2016 Explorer and 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC. The Explorers have build dates between October 20, 2014, and January 28, 2016, at the Chicago Assembly Plant. The MKCs are from between November 25, 2013, and January 25, 2016, at the Louisville Assembly Plant. In total, there are 3,129 total affected examples of the 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 examples of the 2016 Ford Explorer. Of these, 1,543 are in the US and 3,993 are in Canada. The Problem: The combination of the engine block design and the block heater in these vehicles can cause the part to overheat when plugged in. Injuries/Deaths: None reported, but there are two cases of underhood fires in Canada. If you own one: Ford will begin notifying owners during the week of May 16, company spokesperson John Cangany tells Autoblog. Related Video: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to replace engine block heaters Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 5,500 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to remove the heaters and replace them with an updated design. The engine block design, coupled with the particular block heater installed in these vehicles, causes the unit to be susceptible to overheating when the vehicle is parked and the block heater is plugged in –increasing the risk of an underhood fire. Ford is aware of two reports of underhood fires in Canada, but is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue. Affected vehicles include certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, Nov. 25, 2013 through Jan. 25, 2016 and certain 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 20, 2014 through Jan. 28, 2016. There are 5,536 vehicles affected by the issue, including 3,129 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles, with 1,543 of the affected vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 3,993 in Canada. Dealers will remove and replace the engine block heater with an updated design and, if needed, replace the cord at no cost to the customer.
