This 1927 Ford Model T in its final year of production- has everything! This car is a solid Touring Car and has all the pricey upgrades that serious T-drivers want and need. This car was a frame-off restoration in the 60’s and again in the last few years (2007-2013) so she is fully ready for more driving pleasure. Has a clear Illinois title and here are its features- there are a bunch:

-newer & interior -high compression head -new Kevlar trans bands

-new 3-speed Warford auxillary transmission -new Rocky Mountain brakes

-new Brassworks radiator -newer tires & tubes -accessory Ford bumpers

-new wiring -duel taillights -brake activated “stop” light -working turn signals

-new timer -new side curtain- FULL SET, including gypsy curtains -speedometer installed -dash light

-all new fluids -new hoses & motormeter - new plugs and wires -waterproof coilbox

-new rebuilt tested coils -adjusted original aoogah horn -new engine gaskets

-engine was re-freshed and maybe rebuilt -rear end rebuilt and new oil

-stainless muffler and custom pipe -new steering stabilizer -rear brass rug rail

-running board tool box -running board luggage rack -new rubber pedal covers

-new NH carburetor and fuel line -new ammeter -new starter & rebuilt generator

-new fan belt -new aluminum belt pulley -new battery cut-out system for safety

-safety glass -Ford manual & original jack -LED sidelamps for extra safety at night and more….

There’s probably more but I can’t remember it all. The car starts right up, runs well and is powerful, the brakes grab well and the Warford shifts smoothly and makes running at 40+ mph a treat and keeps the engine quiet & cool at higher speeds. The paint was done in the late 60’s and has all the normal nicks and dings of a driving car- has a few spots where it bubbled from bad adhesion- see pics, but still looks great overall. You can keep up with traffic in this car and stop easily, all of which make driving this car a safe joy. Please ask any questions prior to bidding- I am happy to help load the car if needed. $200 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours and balance is due before pick-up. I accept a bank-to-bank wire transfer for our safety, or cash in person, but any other arrangements need to be discussed. Email me with questions, anteekguy97@aol.com. Car is 45 minutes west of Chicago and is always stored indoors.

I added a very short clip of the car driving, by my 13 year old taped it, and she giggled at the horn and shook the camera, but it is something: (copy and paste into browser) http://youtu.be/mKnQ88D6J3E

To answer a few questions:

The Warford auxillary transmission offers a few handy benefits for Model T's: it gives a real neutral and completely disconnects the drive-line, and it has an under-drive, a direct-drive and an over-drive option. The overdrive allows the engine to stay quiet and cool at higher speeds and allows comfortable cruising at 35-45 mph, direct-drive is normal Model T speed and under-drive is a safe and slow pace.

I'll accept a bank cashier's check as long as there is ample time for it to clear both financial institutions. Thanks for asking!

eBay Find of the Day: 25-station video gaming trailer w/ bonus Ford F-250

Fri, Nov 28 2014

Why, you might be asking yourself, is Autoblog showing me an eBay Motors listing for a 2006 Ford F-250 and a box trailer (with a badly cropped photo to boot)? It's not because we're highly interested in this blue-collar rig, to be sure, but rather because we're interested in throwing the greatest Forza party of all time. Housed in that innocuous white 26-foot trailer is a gamer's delight, with 25 Xbox 360 systems connected up to 25 high-definition monitors and 24 headsets to keep everyone locked into the action (one of the stations is outside the trailer). When connected up to one of two included generators, the setup allows for two-dozen combatants to square off, back-to-back and head-to-head. Sure, the Buy It Now price of $79,000 seems steep considering the trailer will need about ten grand worth of Xbox One or Playstation 4 upgrades in the near future. But that doesn't mean you couldn't squeeze out a few more years of massive multiplayer fun. Check out the listing here, and do let us know if you buy it, we'd love to come over and game.

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief

Thu, 29 May 2014

The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. takes his dog for a drift

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

Vaughn Gittin Jr. spends a great deal of his workday going sideways, but he's usually alone in the endeavor. For a guy that is clearly a dog lover, we imagine that can get a bit lonely.
That won't be a problem for Gittin in this latest video, which features the racer hanging out with his good pal Brody (a dog) and everyone's favorite hot hatch, the Ford Fiesta ST.
