Mishawaka, Indiana, United States
|
One of the Best Model T's I have owned. The prior owner did a
great deal of work on this car. He and his wife drove it on tours of Pikes peak, the Rocky Mountains, Canada the far West and East , Midwest on many Model T tours. Attached is a YouTube video I made showing Model T accessories with more pictures of the car for sale If the car does not sell I am open to offers following the end of the auction I can store the car in dry storage for 30 days no cost and then further storage at my cost of $ 60 a month until pick up I have helped ship cars to Europe I do guarantee the car is as described a good running operational car. I ENCOURAGE inspections either by the buyer or a third party Here is a list of options that add quality and value to the car. Later I will note all the DEFECTS as no car is perfect and I keep my reputation high by being very honest. No complaints selling many cars over 50 years . The Son of the West Ohio restorer reported that this car came in second at the Ford Museum annual Old Car Festival (some years ago) but lost out as it had a white interior Engine highly modified and powerful standard Model T block high compression head Model A high flow intake and exhaust Model A Carburetor Air filter electric fuel pump 2 glass fuel filters bowl in addition to standard Ford filter and pressure cut off switch Son report that Dad installed aluminum pistons balanced engine and installed a Model A crank but I have not opened the engine to confirm this Ruckstell 2 speed rear transmission (one of the BEST Model T options) shifts smoothly Bosch rear suspension floating rear axle bearings turn signals NICE rare trough the windshield spot light accessory heavy duty rear brakes (I do not know if they are Rocky Mountain or another make) Has a new uninstalled boot for the top and the rear Ford Tan Spare Tire cover Period tool box with period jack repair parts and other period tools Defects paint is older and parts are beginning to show chips on edges of hood. Hood had hot anti freeze from a loose radiator temperature gauge spray it which has caused some spotting one 1/2 inch paint chip along piano hinge on top of the hood some paint chipping on top frame edges fenders etc some paint cracking where the front fenders flex at the running boards top is functional and appears to be an older style 2 or 3 layer canvas fabric (canvas?) with a separate interior padding and liner The top Keeps the rain out fine but looks old. Harder to keep clean. The white trim around the top should be repainted or stained white One 3 inch pinch tear developed this week where the fabric top on rear most top frame pinched on top drivers side Has a rare model collectible distributor. I would definitely sell it to a collector and replace it with the original coil box 4 coil system or a new Texas T distributor. BEFORE going on long tours. In my opinion the original coils are best The majority of engine failures on tours are with older distributors. Rear tires are functional but tread is worn. Should be replaced within 500 miles before long tours Spare has good tread I need to re ground head lamps before the sale as when I hit a bump they can flicker rear window frames appear to have paint over corrosion one rear glass window is cracked two oil cups lubricating suspension have missing hinge tops which I will replace Spotlight. other interior lights I have never turned on or learned how to turn on I do work hard on greasing changing oil checking safety wiring on the wish bone checking for no leaks on the rear wheel seals etc. I try and keep cars maintained I can transport to the Model T Covered Bridge Tour for 45 cents a mile This is a fantastic tour with 32 covered bridges and back country roads full of Model T's following a prescribed route each day It is west of Indianapolis Indiana in Parke County Google it I have a nice 26 foot dual axle trailer with electric brakes and an electric hoist I use to pull the car up on the trailer I can sell for $ 1,000 with the car I can store free for 90 days after payment insured I do help transport cars to Chicago for overseas shipments Insured through Hagerty's for $ 16,000 Reason for selling I need the cash to help out a family member or I would not be selling it.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas
Wed, 03 Apr 2013The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88
Sun, 09 Mar 2014William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."
