 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

Ford driving Alaskan maniac rams toddler-carrying SUV

Mon, Jul 25 2016

A couple from Anchorage had a frightening traffic encounter when they were followed and repeatedly rammed by a stranger in a pickup truck. Grace Bernert, her boyfriend, and his two-year-old daughter were returning home from a trip to downtown Anchorage when they noticed a blue, 2001 Ford F-150 following closely behind them. "The guy was so close, we couldn't see his headlights," Bernert told KTVA. Bernert, who was riding shotgun, pulled out her phone to record the truck when it struck the rear end of their Acura SUV. That's when she called 911. Bernert's boyfriend tried to lose the F-150 in the Sullivan Arena parking lot, then drove to a local Ford dealer's parking lot where he drove through a maze of new Ford pickups in an attempt to shake their assailant. "We started doing circles around the brand new Fords because we thought the truck wouldn't be able to turn as fast as we would," said Bernert. "We were right, but the guy didn't care. He just kept hitting the new fords and backing up, coming after us." The truck continued to follow them, ramming the Acura again and again. Bernert estimates that F-150 driver struck their SUV between five and seven times, and hit numerous new trucks in the dealership parking lot. Eventually, they ducked into a nearby neighborhood where they managed to lose the F-150 and called 911. Bernert told KTVA that she believes they were targeted but doesn't know why. "The guy was either some random sick person who didn't care, or somebody who knew us and didn't care there was a kid in the car," she said. Anchorage Police arrived shortly after the couple escaped the F-150 and filed a report about the incident. They are currently investigating. Recent Video:

Ford Detroit stand map clearest evidence yet of new GT, Mustang GT350R, SVT Raptor

Fri, Jan 9 2015

An anonymous tipster has leaked a map of Ford's display stand plans for next week's Detroit Auto Show, and the schematic contains some interesting details that supports the idea of a Ford GT revival, as well as the presence of the rumored Shelby Mustang GT350R and F-150 SVT Raptor. The map, used by workers to help erect the Blue Oval's Cobo Hall display, maps out a show with a performance-heavy influence, with a codenamed vehicle, "Phoenix" sitting front and center, flanked by "Hummingbird 2" and "F-150 SVT Raptor Teaser." Our sources within Ford have confirmed that Phoenix is the long-rumored GT successor (a notion furthered by the presence of a pair of historic GT40s shown near the display entrance), and Hummingbird 2 refers to the GT350R (note also that there's a "Mustang Historic" GT350R on its own dais nearby). We've also learned that while the Raptor is labeled "Teaser," our Ford source assures us this is effectively the production truck. Rumors of a neo Ford GT have been picking up speed for months now, and we've been led to believe that this new car will have motorsports applications firmly on its mind, but it won't follow in the same retro-steeped design footsteps of its 2005-2006 forbearer. While the map does show Focus models on display, including the performance-oriented ST, we note that there isn't a spot seemingly earmarked for the rumored next-generation Focus RS, which has been the subject of the Motown rumormill for some time. Instead, we expect to see Ford's hottest hatch bow at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Even without a Focus RS revival, the Ford stand is shaping up to be a high-performance, high-horsepower showing, and we're excited to see if the Blue Oval can steal the show come Monday.

Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.
Where the F-150 Raptor is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.
Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.
