Model T Ford Touring With Many Options Set Up For Long Tours on 2040-cars
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. This is a good car.. Every show I have entered it has won a trophy. Been in MANY parades and weddings |

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]
Wed, 29 May 2013Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too. Owners of the 2012-13 Focus and 2013 Focus ST can now get a Roush cold-air intake system, and ST owners can also opt for a high-performance cat-back exhaust.
Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.
Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro
Wed, Dec 3 2014Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
