1926 Model T Ford Truck on 2040-cars
Athens, Georgia, United States
This is one of those miracles in which a heap got working. It works great! Starts right up, drives, brakes on a dime. It is the original flat 4 engine. The timing is electronic. I put an alternator in after messing with the generator for way too long. The rear end has a complete rebuild. The transmission has new kevlar bands. The starter works great (you hot wire two wires right now; I have a key switch that I'll include). Lights work. There's a rear running light and a stop light. The brakes are powerful disc brakes that I installed. They work perfectly and with total confidence. The emergency brake is a drum and it is fine. It has an air filter. There's hardly any oil leaking but I can't say that it is 100% dry. I mean, really good for an old car... but it will leave a little puddle after a few months. What else? No seat belts. The tires are newer (obviously) and cool. It is a unique ride! Nobody has a car that looks like this and yes it turns heads wherever it goes. Top speed is probably 40 mph. I have no idea what the fuel consumption is. There's some rust here and there but nothing structural. Drives great. There's some play in the wheel but can be easily worked with. I haven't driven a lot of Model Ts so I don't know if it is more than usual. The car was once used by a Clown Club. Buy it!!
I know the price may be more than you'd like... but I'm selling at a loss, as it always is with these old cars. What you're getting is a mechanically perfect ancient car that can be redesigned in whatever direction you want to go in. Anyway, the price is firm. Here's a video I made of the car starting up on the crank (which is optional, since the starter works). http://youtu.be/K-YRGgtRgdA |

Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
Ford to spread all-wheel drive across performance range
Tue, Feb 10 2015Car and Driver took a closer look at the all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS, Ford reps having made "broad hints" about it being applied to other performance vehicles. One spokesperson even said that he "can see this as one of those technologies of the future." That would make sense because, as C/D notes, it couldn't have been an inexpensive job to engineer the torque-vectoring unit for the Focus – one that can send 70 percent of torque to the rear wheels, and send 100 percent of that portion to either wheel if needed. C/D also clues into the system's close similarity to the AWD unit in the recently updated Range Rover Evoque, which is manufactured by Sweden's GKN Driveline. In the Evoque, torque vectoring is brake based and two electronically controlled clutches turn the Range into a front-wheel-drive crossover under 22 miles per hour. Ford wouldn't comment on the GKN Driveline connection, or even if there is one. No matter where it might come from, more performance Fords are good for every enthusiast, and we do not look an AWD, torque-vectoring gift horse in the mouth.

Toyota, Ford not interested in FCA merger
Mon, Jun 15 2015Sergio Marchionne will preach the benefits of mergers to anyone who'll listen, but his calls for industry consolidation may be falling on deaf ears. At least, that is, the ears of those who the Fiat Chrysler chief would most like to bend. Not only is General Motors uninterested, but according to The Detroit News, neither are Toyota or Ford. "It's something we would not be interested in," said Toyota's North American chief Jim Lentz, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Toyota Technical Center. "At 10 million (vehicles) we have enough scale right now to do what we need to do. There really would be no advantage for us." Toyota isn't the only one unenthused by the prospect of merging with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The Detroit News also reports that Ford, though it may yet to have been approached by Marchionne, wouldn't be interested either. "We're not a suitor for FCA," said Ford CFO Bob Shanks. "We don't see that type of opportunity as one that applies to us." With GM, Toyota, and Ford expressing disinterest in Marchionne's merger idea, the FCA chief will likely start looking elsewhere – or look for other ways to compel his primary candidate to reconsider. He may eventually find a partner – more likely in the Far East or within Europe – but it may not take the form of the major player Sergio has hoped for.
