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 builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity
Thu, 08 May 2014At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.

Subcompact sales slump, yet again
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
