Up for bids is my 1926 Model T Ford Runabout. After some 25 years of restoring, judging, buying, selling and trading Model As, I started looking for an inexpensive, running, driving Model T just to learn more about what makes them “tick” and most important, how to drive one!

I guess you could call this a “barn find”, however I’m not the original “finder”. Someone before me made some improvements in order to get it running the most important of which were a new gas tank and apparently two new coils, spark plugs, etc.

Even with these repairs, it would start but ran rough so I made even more improvements. I replaced anther non-firing coil, the carburetor with a nice Kinston, battery and plug wires. I also rebuilt the starter bendix and installed a new right front outer wheel bearing. It now cranks fairly easy and runs and drives! I have been driving the T around a large lot and find the low and reverse gears to be acceptable. High gear also seems OK but I’ve only been able to use it sparingly due to the small area. I also feel some “grab” on the brake band but since the rear brake rods are missing, braking is somewhat unreliable! At present, I am only running the T on “battery”.

Rather than completely rewiring everything through the original ignition switch, I added another switch straight from the battery to the starter switch and on to the coils and generator. I’m not convinced the generator is working, but seems to keep the battery charged! Unfortunately, I can’t speak for the magneto since it is not wired into the system. I would imagine it is still in working order but might need some TLC.

One thing that impressed me was how complete this T is as far as original parts are concerned. Also, I’m impressed as to how straight and tight I find the body and fenders to be. As you can see in the pictures, it still has the original top irons! Since it is so complete, if it was a Model A I would not hesitate to do a complete restoration! The car also comes with two extra wheels, one with a rim and an extra “felloe” all in OK condition.

So, here she is! A great winter project for complete restoration or, some mechanical work for a fun “rat rod” or (as much as I hate to say it) a fantastic possible street rod body!

Why am I selling it? Well, not long after I bought the car a 1922 Model T Doctor’s coupe came available. I bought it! Now I have two Model Ts and storage for only one!

The car is located in Augusta, GA. And I strongly encourage anyone interested to visit for a test drive and inspection or send their representative. I’ll be more that happy to show the car, after all it will be sold “as is” “no warranty”!

Please contact me with any questions and I will be happy to supply answers to the best of my ability concerning Model Ts.

 

Buyer will be responsible for pick-up and/or delivery from Augusta, GA. 30907. I will be happy to assist in delivery within mileage limits.

 

A $500.00 deposit is required via PayPal or cashier’s check within 48 hours of auction close. Balance to be paid by cashier’s check within seven days of auction end.

 

This Model T is sold with “as is, no warranty” Bill of Sale only! No title!

 

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions!

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9. Scroll down for the full press release below on Ford's latest race effort.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
