Hello and thank you for looking at this BEAUTIFUL piece of American history. Up for auction is a fully restored 1926 Ford Model T Roadster Pickup. I acquired this vehicle a few months ago. I picked it up so I could park it next to my late grandfather's 1930 Model A that was handed down to me. They look excellent together however, I never drive this truck and I hate seeing it sit and collect dust. It is time to find a home that will love her more than I will.
I will admit, I do not know much about Model T's so please bear with me. I will tell you what I know about it and if you have any further questions, please ask them. I will post all questions and answers so that everyone else can see them.
The gentleman that I received this truck from bought it from the guy who had it restored. As you can see in the pictures, they did a FULL restoration. Nothing was skimped on. I was told that the engine and transmission were gone through during the time of restoration. Yes, of course it runs. I start it once in a while and let if run for a minute or two. I have only drove it ONCE. I drove it down the street and back. I was very nervous on driving such a piece of art and not being too familiar with the controls.
I personally would rate this trucks condition a 9 out of 10. The reasoning for that is there is a very small ding by the license plate (pictured). There is also a lil scratch here and there too. Trust me, it is one of the cleanest vehicles that I have seen. It is ALL STEEL. No fiberglass. I went through the truck extensively and I could not find any dents or places where body work has been performed. NO BONDO.
It does have electric start with a newer 6 volt battery. As far as I know, all the lights work. The top folds down perfectly. Glass is perfect. Has stock carburetor on it that has been rebuilt by some company on the internet. All of the fenders have been undercoated (pictured). If you look at the pictures you will notice that even underneath the body was painted.
All the wheels and tires look in great shape. It steered down the road perfectly for me. Brakes seemed to be great. I had no complaints about how it handled. Both doors close and open perfectly. Who ever restored this truck did it correctly and spared no expense. It does have a clear California title and is currently registered. It is titled as a 1921 for some reason though. I can not tell you why. It will come with a couple older manuals for model T's. They look like they are from the 50's.
I believe I have covered everything that I know about this BEAUTIFUL truck. It has always been covered and stored indoors. I do not require a paypal deposit. I do however, require the auction's balance to be paid in full within 7 days of the auction's end in the form of a certified check from a bank that is located across the country such as Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc, etc. I do this because I have a small town bank and it will take a week to clear payment otherwise. I can clear the certified check immediately and overnight you the title. The shipping is up to the winner of the auction. I will assist the shippers in loading the truck and take pictures of the process. If you need to store the truck here for some time, I have no problem with that. Please look at all of the pictures and ask all questions prior to bidding. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!!

Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016
Thu, Apr 28 2016Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."

Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller
Sat, Sep 26 2015Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business – apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage – things that usually build up over months or years – all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Buick Cascada to start at $33,990 Buick hasn't made a convertible in 25 years. That's a whole person who can drink plus a kindergartner. So it's been awhile. Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.
