Restored Vintage Shriner Mini 1916 Ford Model T Roadster Texaco Pickup Go Kart on 2040-cars
Concord, New Hampshire, United States
|
Fantastic recreation based on a 1960's McDonough Industries Tin Lizzy Mini Model T based Go Kart made popular by the Shriners use in parades for many years. These cars were often given away in promotional contests by companies to sell their goods.
Found in a barn in New Hampshire in Fall of 2013 and restored spring of 2014. This little car has gone through a complete tear down and cleaning of every component of which there are many. This car is very detailed down to the front suspension. Axles were stripped and rebuilt and serviced as was the frame and transaxle. All hardware has been replaced with new brass or zinc cad plated pieces. New floorpan and engine as well as wheel bearings. Wheels serviced and hubs all rebuilt. The fiberglass fenders were stripped, cracks repaired and weak areas braced before being repainted. The new vinyl interior is very comfortable. The custom wood flat bed covers the motor nicely and provides a sturdy platform for a precious payload. The throttle is on the steering column and the handles outside the left side body operate the brake and clutch. This little car has had it all done and looks great. It drives very nicely and is easy to operate. Texaco decals are period correct and make this vehicle that much more of an eye catcher. These vehicles are getting rare and not many look this nice. Display, play, or cruise the swap. Every kids dream and there is a kid in all of us! Available to view. Please feel free to come see it. Buyer must arrange for shipping or pickup. Unique. Be a hero. |

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
