40+ Photos of this 1923 Ford Model T 3 Door Touring (on Photobucket)

NOTE:  When reviewing the photos, please be aware that many of the photos were shot while I had the car on display at a local Ford dealership. It is now in my garage, and I can send you pictures of any angle or specific place on the car. (also, if I don't have all of the photos uploaded at the beginning of the auction, they'll be on by Sunday, Nov 10th).

HISTORY:  I purchased this car 6 or 7 years ago, from a well regarded Michigan dealer.  They had acquired it from the original builder (who worked for a top quality East Coast rod shop) - they had put on over 9,000 miles in only a few years, taking it to a number of East Coast shows.  The car was certainly built to be driven, and it was!  However, if you want a car that has not been seen by everybody - it is UNKNOWN on the West Coast!  I have only taken to 3-4 small local shows, and driven it in a few parades.  It's never been to a Good-Guys or NSRA show west of the Rockies......but it can drive to any one of them if you wanted.  I have 18 cars, and I've come to accept that it is time to start thinning the herd.  And it's time for someone else to enjoy her and show her off.

TITLE:  Clear, California title (as a 1923 Ford), in my name.  Currently registered and insured.  If you are a sincere buyer, you can call me at 805- three nine one -0509 (cell), or email me directly at hotrodranch@live.com.  I am happy to answer questions about this car, or any of my other cars that will be going up for sale soon also.  I only request that you ask questions BEFORE you bid!

DONATION:  I have planned that 5% of this sale will go to one of my favorite charities - Focus on the Family.  If you have an alternative ministry that you would like to donate to, call me to review how we can donate in your name instead!  It's just my way of giving back!

National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.
