Lisbon, Iowa, United States
|
1926 roadster. This is a period correct jalopy racer using parts that were available around or before 1930. It is still all model T ford. Front has been lowered using model t wishbones bent into hairpin radius rods with the axle kicked forward. Rear has been z'd. Steering has been dropped and works nice. Smaller diameter early steering wheel for more leg room. Custom hand made leather straps using stock hood hooks and springs for tension. Custom built solid oak floorboards using stock hold downs and correct ship lap joints. A lot of new parts including, front wheel bearings, correct cloth covered wiring harnesses for the lights and ignition switch, spark plugs and wires, cutout for generator and battery. it is a stock six volt system. lights have new sockets, front and rear and all work as they should. It does have a brake light. Runs great and starts easy. Does leak a little oil. This car is a driver. I have been driving it quite a bit this year already. It is still a model t and drives like one so dont expect a new car. The tires have good tread but are showing some minor weather checking. They all hold air and haven't given any problems. The body is not perfect, it has rust and dents but is all original ford steel. There are no patch panels or bondo. The paint doesn't look to be original but does look very old and has a lot of character and patina. It would be easy to restore the body with patch panels that are readily available but I personally would keep it as is. Frame and subframe are both good. Original running board tool box is in the trunk. Accessory clamp on spotlight with rear view mirror. Brakes and transmission work well. Clean original title that matches the frame number. Please feel free to ask any questions. I can provide storage for a reasonable amount of time needed to arrange pick up or shipping. All shipping costs will be responsibility of the buyer. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of auctions end. remaining balance due within 7 days.

Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.
Where the F-150 Raptor is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.
Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.
Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines
Mon, 27 May 2013Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.
Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
