This iconic hot rod was built approximately 10 years ago in California by people who really knew what they were doing, Ron Attebury Street Rods. The construction and attention to detail is nothing short of amazing. Starting with a 32 Ford frame correctly modified to fit the original steel T roadster body the front suspension is the first thing to bring about a "wow" from spectators. It consists of a tube axle mounted suicide style using unequal length 4-bars to match the reveal in the 32 frame. From there we have torsion bars similar to that in a midget that are enclosed in the frame, are adjustable for height and use equally adjustable friction shocks with cross steering. Rear suspension is a Ford 9" mounted on coil-overs and located by a triangulated 4-bar also. Powering this beauty is a gorgeous to look at 401 Buick nailhead with an ample supply of glitter and backed up by a 60s 400 Turbo with the Buick switch pitch converter. The engine and transmission were both built by a very professional shop, Centerville Auto Repair owned and operated by Russ Martin, the Buick Guru in Grass Valley,California in 2007 and now have 6900 miles. Both engine and transmission were built to stock specs so the package is easy to live with and trouble free. Receipts for this total in excess of $6k and indicate a rebore of .060 using block plates and a complete balanced assembly along with everything else used in the assembly. Brakes are 4WDB using C4 Corvette calipers. Headers and exhaust are a work of art in themselves as is the narrowed 40 Ford dashboard. Fuel and volt guages along with the headlight switch, electric trunk switch are hidden in the glove compartment. Wiring is excellent as is the upholstery with toggle switches for the switch pitch converter, fuel pump, ignition cut-off and dimmer along with the button for speedo calibration are under the dash within easy reach of the driver. Also under the dash along with the fuse box is a flip down enclosed panel containing the ignition coil, speedometer module, shift position light module and two 12 volt outlets. Battery(Optima) shut off is on the floor in front of the seat. There are also easily accessible battery charging posts inside the driver side frame rail and on the opposite frame rail are found the electric fuel pump, fuel shut-off valve and canister fuel filter. Steering column is a nicely done tilt unit but even so as the passenger compartment on a T is small this car is best suited for smaller individuals. The trunk is fully finished enclosing the battery and fuel fill. Wheels are excellent repro wires all with good tires the rear being 16.5" wide Hoosier street radials. This car starts, runs, drives and stops very well and needs nothing. NY title/registration is clear and in my name. No test pilots but rides freely given dependent on weather. The T is advertised locally so may be sold and removed from the auction at any time. Once the reserve is met the auction will play out and a local sale will not occur. Look at the multitude of photos in the listing and most questions will be answered but if not I will do my best to provide the answer you need.

How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be
Fri, 20 Sep 2013Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.
2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest
Thu, Feb 27 2014Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.
