I have a 1927 Ford T Bucket replica for sale. What a fun car. This car runs and drives good, needs very little. This car is a nice driver, NOT perfect, not a 100 point showcar. But it's nice enough you won't get laughed out of a local show and you will get thumbs up, people smiling and taking their phones out to take pictures at nearly every traffic light. The body is nice with no cracks in the fiberglass. The paint is still nice and shiny, has has a few small chip touch ups. The chrome has some flaking here and there. The front tires are new, the back need replacing. They are old with cracks and out of balance, they make a shimmy at about 40 MPH. It has a mild 350(1975) so it will run on any octane gas you want and always starts right up and never overheats. The numbers on the block are, casting number, 3970010, front pad numbers V102ITYZ C71120449. If you let it sit a week or so, it will puff a little smoke on startup, but not when it's running. I believe fresh valve seals will do the trick(or just drive it more than I do!!!!!). The interior in in nice driver shape, has one hole on driver's upper section about the diameter of a pencil(see close-up) that could easily be touched up. This was not a cheap build. Whoever built it sprung for a brass radiator w/ gauge, Hurst Airheart disc brakes up front, cross drilled discs in the rear, gasser style front mags, and American Racing rears. They built it nice. The steering turns like butter. Also not pictured but included...I have the top frame for it(no canvas, just the frame, and I have a brand new pair of wheelie bars in the box that I haven't gotten around to installing yet. Everything works except the gas gauge(needle fell off and sitting in bottom of gauge). There isn't a speedo in the car so mileage is unknown. Titled as a 1927 Ford Roadster. I have tried to describe this car as well as I could and put in tons of pictures, so keep in mind it's a driver, not a 100 point show car, so expect what you see in pictures. It is a really fun, attention drawing car. Clean, clear, Florida title in previous owner's name still. I will also give a bill of sale. Sold as is, with no warranty. Please see my other auctions for more interesting items, too many toys, not enough time...... If you are local and want to inspect it before bidding, I encourage that, just let me know. No whining or asking questions afterwards. Deposit of $250 due within 2 days through Paypal, the balance in cash within 2 weeks. If you are out of state and need more time, let me know BEFORE you bid, maybe when can work something out. Buyer responsible for shipping costs and arranging shipping plans to pick up from my house. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, for any reason.

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
eBay Find of the Day: Mk1 Ford GT40 with interesting history
Sat, 03 May 2014You might expect a rare Ford GT40 to cross the block at some sort of prestigious auto auction from RM or Gooding, not show up on eBay for over $2 million. However, that's exactly what we have here. The seller claims the car is a late-build Mk1 GT40 from 1969, and it's currently owned by the director of the Hublot watch company in Switzerland.
According to the listing, GT40 #P1108 started life as Mk1 car that was built from factory spares in 1969 and was first sold in 1971. However, the auction is somewhat confusing. According to an image in its gallery, the vehicle was actually built from one of the seven spare Mk3 tubs when production of the iconic racers ended.
This GT40 was never built as a racecar - it lived on the streets its whole life. After assembly finished, it was sent to Germany and was eventually registered for the road. The first owner kept the car until 2005 and sold it with 7,300 miles on the odometer. The current owner bought it in 2012.
Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
