1927 Ford Model T Touring Car With Auxillary Trans And Rocky Mtn Brakes on 2040-cars
Oswego, Illinois, United States
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 -newer & interior -high compression head -new Kevlar trans bands -new 3-speed Warford auxillary transmission -new -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.

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! |

Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect
Wed, 18 Sep 2013The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.

Over the past two decades, machines like the Viper Venom 550, Ford GT 1000 Twin Turbo, HPE 700 LS9 Camaro and the almighty Venom GT have emerged from the Hennessey Performance garage. And those are just the celebrated flagships; the company has modified thousands of other street cars including those from Audi, Bentley, Cadillac, Ferrari, Ford, Porsche and Toyota, to name a few.
Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
