Barn Fresh Unrestored Complete Original Touring Convertible Survivor 23 24 26 27 on 2040-cars
Middletown, Ohio, United States

Up for sale is this incredible 1925 Ford Model T Touring convertible. It has been stored in a climate controlled building for over 47 years! It was parked in the back corner of a pole barn. It had a nice Model A Woody parked next to it. Not a bad room-mate! It is completely original and has never had any sort of restoration. This car has only had 2 owners until I purchased it a few weeks ago. The gentleman I bought it from is a retired Ford employee who has owned and cared for numerous show winning Fords. He was also a Model B mechanic for the US Military and served in the Korean War. His passion for early Fords is very visible with this Model T. Him and his wife drove and showed this vehicle in the early 60s throughout southern Ohio. It got parked in the fall of 1967 and was never pulled out of his garage again until the end of August, 2014. I have made no attempt to start or drive this car. I haven't even washed it. It is in true "barn find" condition! There is evidence that some sort of tune-up or mechanical work had been started and not finished. There are some un-hooked wires and lose bolts under the hood. The cooling fan and belt were also removed and the lower radiator hose disconnected. I asked the previous owner if he could remember why it was parked or what was being done to it and he could not recall (He's 84 and has 12 vehicles to keep tabs on...) The interior of the car is amazing. I could not find one tear or blemish on either seat. The floors and door panels are also very nice with little wear. I was told the top is original and has no tears that I could find. It folded down and back up with ease. Stashed in the back seat was the boot and straps for the top, and a full set of side curtains that are in equally amazing condition considering their age. All doors open and shut like they are new. No sagging, etc. All the pedals, and column levers move freely with no binding. Steering works as it should. The original Ford script key and leather key pouch are still in the ignition that turns/operates as it should. The windshield and side/rear mirrors are all in excellent shape with no visible cracks. I believe the windshield is just dirty, not permanently hazy. ( I used my finger to draw a "T" on the drivers side lower portion and it came right off.) All the tires hold air. The original hand crank, and crank strap are still present along with the rear spare wheel/tire. Both cowl lanterns are in excellent shape. The wicks still adjust as they should. The suspension looks complete and functional but obviously no road testing has been done to verify that. The body is very solid. The only evidence of any sort of rust is on the drivers rear lower corner (see pic) The paint is original and has scratches and dings here and there but is very presentable for an unrestored car of this age. There are no hood latches on the car currently but there was a parts bag from early Ford laying on the floor that has a nice original set of latches that will come with the car. There are other misc parts included. There is even the original jack assembly and Ford script tool set. Please refer to pictures for parts, accessories included. I've been building and restoring classic cars for quite some time and I have never seen a survivor/barn car in this condition. I honestly feel that with a good bath, a mechanical tune-up and some TLC this would make an absolutely amazing ORIGINAL early Ford. These unrestored original cars are getting harder and harder to find, let alone in this condition. I've been as honest and straight forward as I can be with this car. If you have any questions at all or would like more detailed pictures of anything, please do not hesitate to ask. I have a clear Ohio title in my name. The car is located in Liberty Township, Ohio, approx. 25 miles north of Cincinnati, Ohio. I will deal with overseas buyers. Buyer is responsible for any/all shipping and transportation of the vehicle. I am available to help your carrier or you load. The car WILL NOT leave my barn until all payments have been made or cleared at the bank. Zero feedback bids will be cancelled. A $500 deposit is due within 48hrs of the auction ending. Please note that I will be out of town 9-10-14 thru 9-14-14 and again on 9-23-14 thru 10-2-14. I would really like car picked up between 9-14-14 thru 9-23-14 if possible. |

Meet the Greenest and Meanest vehicles of 2016
Wed, Jan 27 2016If you've been keeping track, you won't be surprised with the number one entry in this year's list of greenest cars from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). In fact, the top three spots on the 2016 list are all the same as they were in 2015. After that, things get interesting. For one thing, this is the first Greenest list that doesn't have any purely internal combustion engine powertrain on it. Hybrids, yes, but if you want to be one of the top 12 greenest cars this year, you'd better have some sort of electric angle. ACEEE says that the conventional, gas-powered Smart Fortwo and Chevrolet Spark just missed the cut. In a statement, ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan said, "The 2016 scores are in, and plug-in electric vehicles are outpacing all other vehicle offerings in terms of environmental friendliness." Like last year, one of the noticeable vehicles missing from the green list is the Tesla Model S. One reason? ACEEE takes curb weight into account (lighter is better), and the Model S is a heavy beast. The ACEEE doesn't just look at the clean side of the ledger. It also puts out a "meanest" list. These are the vehicles that pollute the most, not only from their tailpipes, but also any pollution created during the entire manufacturing process, from mining the raw materials to the energy used to produce the vehicle at the factory. The entire list, from greenest to meanest, is done using a "cradle to grave" analysis. You can see how the ACEEE determines its rankings here, explore the entire greenest cars site here, or click through our galleries to see which vehicles are extra green (above) or extra mean (below) this year. 12: Mercedes-Benz GL550 4MATIC View 12 Photos More Electric Cars than Ever on Greenest Vehicles List Electric Vehicles Nab 9 out of Top 12 Spots in ACEEE's Environmental Vehicle Rankings Washington, DC: Despite a tumultuous year for the automotive industry, manufacturers have continued to offer exciting technology options for a growing vehicle market. Today at greenercars.org, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) released its 19th annual comprehensive environmental ratings for vehicles. The following vehicles comprise the Greenest List for 2016: Greenest Score 1. Mercedes-Benz Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Convertible / Coupe 63 2. Chevrolet Spark EV 63 3. Fiat 500E 62 4. Toyota Prius Eco 61 5. Volkswagen E-Golf 61 6. Nissan Leaf S / Leaf SV 61 7. Kia Soul Electric 59 8.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: First production 2015 Ford Mustang earns $300k for JDRF [w/video]
Sat, 18 Jan 2014We've almost become immune to the huge dollar amounts that collectible cars earn for charity at Barrett-Jackson. To wit, $300,000 for the first production 2015 Ford Mustang initially didn't seem like very much money. In reality, though, it's probably about 10 times the actual asking price for the car, and we're pleased to report that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
According to Ford, the car's winning bidder will get to "choose a fastback with manual or automatic transmission, and any interior, exterior and stripe color combination offered by Ford on the all-new Mustang." Power will come from a slightly revised version of the well-known 5.0-liter V8 engine that will produce "more than 420hp and 396 pound-feet of torque."
We snapped live images of the 2015 Mustang prototype that Ford had on display here at Barrett-Jackson, and you can check them out above. The official auction description, along with a video of the auction as it happened live, is below.
'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
