This is an all original 1927 Ford Model T. It has the original black paint which has many chips, nicks and dings, but it is original and still shines better than some new cars. It has the original interior which does have some stains and a few spots the material has worn through where the driver sits, but it is original and complete. It has the original motor which starts easily and runs great and doesn't smoke. It was rebuilt by Ford sometime in the 40's, but it is the original, numbers matching motor. It has a new wiring harness, but it also comes with the original. It has a new fan belt and a new intake gasket, but they both look aged and correct. It has all new tires and tubes including the spare and they almost no mileage on them, they are mounted on the original wood spoke wheels..It has a new Optima red top battery and an after market battery shut off for safety. It is truly an amazing piece of history, which is in amazing shape. The car spent it's entire life in Texas so it is extremely solid. It has the original wood floors which are rot free and there are no rust holes, just some surface rust. It is equipped with an extremely rare "locking steering wheel" by Seng from 1927. The wheel has the original key, which unlocks the steering wheel so you can't steer. It is a very neat accessory from when the car was new and it works perfectly today. The wheel also has a horn ring on it but the 2 wires are frayed on it causing it to not work, but it has a newer push button which operates the horn. The visor has been recovered in period correct material, but the top is all original with the exception of an old patch. The lights all work including the interior map light, the horn works as well. Everything works great. The windows roll up and down with no problems. The doors open and close without any sagging or squeaks. The car was stored away properly where it was safe and dry for around 40 year, and was only recently pulled out properly as well so nothing was damaged and everything works.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has a bit of a dyno issue
Tue, 28 May 2013We're of the mind that each and every dyno should come with Murphy's Law painted in big, visible letters down the side. For every ten successful dyno runs out there, it seems there's one where events to horribly wrong. Take, for example, the video below. The clip shows what happens when a Ford Shelby GT500 and a mobile dyno have a bit of a disagreement at the Performance Expo 24 in Sherbrooke, Quebec. We won't spoil the results for you, but we will say there's some substantial carnage involved.
It's unclear just how much damage ensues from the dust up or whether anyone was harmed in the incident, but from the looks of things, everyone made it out without serious injury. If only we could say the same for the machines involved. Check out the video below.
eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.
Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013
Fri, 26 Jul 2013General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
