Up for auction is this original 1927 Ford Model T Racer. The chassis, body and engine are original. Original restored wire wheels. This awesome ride goes 50 mph with no hesitation. Completely rebuilt transmission using Kevlar bands, Jack Rabbit clutch, Springs, Bushings, etc. The engine was rebuilt last year professionally for performance and reliability. Since completion last year, I have driven this car on average of 4-5 times a week around town, weather permitting. It is very reliable. It should be, because every nut and bolt; as well as every mechanical component has been rebuilt. Don’t let the paint job, or lack there of, fool you. Under that fantastic patina is a show car, with over $30K invested keeping everything factory stock and period correct. The only thing that’s been added is the Rocky Mountain brakes (It goes fast and stops just as well!), new modern distributor and alternator. Engine & Transmission: Fresh rebuild using aluminum pistons [60 over]. High compression racing “Z” head. New US made Crankshaft. Heat-treated, with main and rod journals ground and polished to a 6-micro finish. Dynamically balanced. New high lift Camshaft, 280 grind with short front bearing journal. New Camshaft bearings. New 7-1/2 degree distributor timing gear for extra speed. Rebuilt for high flow original Holley NH carburetor. Balanced engine. Rebuilt Transmission, top to bottom. New distributor, points, plugs and wires. New throttle and choke linkage. New ignition and AMP gauge. Rebuilt Hogshead with all new seals and gaskets. Lightened flywheel. Magneto removed. Original early 20’s perfect set of bubble headlights, very bright. Original accessory ‘through the glass’ Clymer spotlight (These in working order and in their original glass are ridiculously impossible to find). Works great. Large period correct horn. Loud. NOS accessory adjustable steering wheel tension stabilizer. Custom cut and fit oak floors. Completely rebuilt rear end, including axle and bearings. Newly installed Rocky Mountain Brakes. New radiator, hoses, clamps and fan belt. New exhaust manifold, pipes and stock muffler. New aluminum intake manifold. Custom leather barrel seats. Battery kill switch. New large Model T oval gas tank. Installed in trunk area. Twin Model T brake lights. Completely rebuilt suspension, steering and new reinforced front sway bars. New ignition coil and Optima battery. Storage compartment under removable barrel seats. Steering wheel and windshield are original, and perfect. Completely rewired. Everything works as it should. Note: This is not your typical barn find that someone hacked up and attempted to make a rusty piece to look like an authentic vintage racer. This was a near rust free stock body and chassis with a running motor and transmission. The paint was left untouched, other than putting on a new $450 deck lid. The frame was reinforced [particularly in the rear] for safety reasons due to the increased speed capability. This is a remarkably correct Model T Racer, and is without question one of the finest factory stock component Model T’s anywhere. i am willing to ship this car within 300 miles of 37174 at no cost. Otherwise buyer is responsible for their own shipping. If you have any questions please call me anytime - Brad 727-439-9525. |

Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room
Fri, 08 Mar 2013A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.
VW going turbo-only in 3 to 4 years
Wed, 18 Sep 2013This really was a matter of when, rather than if. Volkswagen will apparently be the first manufacturer to phase out naturally aspirated engines in favor of turbocharging its full slate. VW is kind of responsible for ushering in this push towards small-displacement, turbocharged engines that's taken the industry by storm. When it dropped its direct-injection, 2.0-liter turbo in the 2005 GTI it demonstrated that strapping an iron long to an engine can enhance the powertrain as a whole. VW made fuel economy gains, while also giving a linear, non-laggy turbo experience that it has replicated, model-after-model, to this day.
Speaking with The Detroit News, Volkswagen's executive Vice President of Group Quality, Marc Trahan, told the paper that, "We only have one normally aspirated gas engine, and when we go to the next generation vehicle that it's in, it will be replaced. So three, four years maximum."
Really, it's hard to get teary-eyed about either of these engines going away. VW has access to smaller powerplants that could easily match the performance of the 2.5 five-cylinder and the 3.6 V6, while gobbling up less fuel and providing a better driving experience. What we are sad about is that a similar statement about the extinction of NA engines came from the Vice President of Powertrain Engineering at Ford, Joe Bakaj. We'd certainly get teary-eyed over a world without Ford's excellent 5.0-liter V8.
Ford taps Canada-based Multimatic to build carbon fiber Ford GT
Mon, Feb 16 2015Ford has given Canadian firm Multimatic the nod to build the carbon fiber body on the new GT – The Blue Oval says it has worked with this company for 30 years. The global supplier provides parts and engineering to various automakers, and while based in Markham, Ontario it has 12 plants in Canada, the US, Mexico, England, and China. When announcing the decision at the Canadian International Auto Show, Ford says it chose them "because they have specialized equipment for carbon fiber production and expertise in carbon fiber assembly," and we've heard that the 600-horsepower coupe will be produced in a purpose-built facility at Ford's factory in Markham. Even better than that – for GT purposes and for possible hints at a Le Mans run – the Multimatic Motorsports division can be contracted for engineering and race team management. They currently produce the Boss 302R racecar in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, worked on the FR500C, and their Multimatic Motorsports Lola B2K/40 won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2000. The first models will roll off the line at the end of next year. Production numbers are rumored to be in the low hundreds, with a six-figure price tag around $200,000. They'll go into production in time for some sort of 50th anniversary celebration of the GT40 taking the the top three spots at Le Mans in 1966.
