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 bringing production F-150 to Detroit with Atlas styling and Alcoa blast shields

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

According to a report in Bloomberg, the 2015 Ford F-150 will indeed be showing up at the Detroit Auto Show next month. It will bring attitude with it, not only in the form of sheetmetal inspired by the Atlas concept (pictured) that appeared at the 2013 Detroit show but also in the Alcoa military blast shields among the display being used to showcase the ruggedness of aluminum.
There's been a lot of talk about the F-150 switching to aluminum body panels (although maintaining a steel frame), and for good reason. The lightweight body is expected to shed more than 700 pounds and greatly increase its highway mileage, but production-line issues and possible delays have been a major focus of attention concerning the best-selling vehicle in America for 32 years, meaning Ford has to get it right. F-150 is responsible for a massive portion of the company's global profits and it will come in a year when company profits are already predicted to decline because of new car launches.
When it comes to dings, the Bloomberg story says Ford wants Alcoa to supply some of the military-grade aluminum it uses for blast shields on battlefield vehicles to help it talk up the toughness of aluminum. Reading commentary on the many stories about the F-150 reveals there are many more little questions about the aluminum overhaul, like "How much will it cost to repair and insure?" and "How will companies hang their magnetic signs?" Answers should start coming in a couple of weeks.

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]

Fri, 30 May 2014

Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
