Palmyra, New York, United States
|
1913 Depot Hack that was just finished at the end of last summer and attended one car show where it won trophy. Only driven around the block a few times and is ready to go anywhere. I built this car with the intention that I did not want to have break downs, constant "monkeying around" nor the usual constant tinkering that most "T's" need. I had this one done for national tours. this car has the best of everything with over 20,000$ invested plus labor, plus paint shop labor, time spent searching for pieces and shipping... Motor & Trans is 1926. Was completely rebuilt by "Ron's Machine shop ( Known for Montana 500 wins ) cost was over $ 5000. Carb by Russ Potter ( NH). Has Alum intake, new exhaust manifold, 260Z Cam, Kevlar linings, Jack rabbit Clutch, Kevlar Linings, low head, modified early fan with roller bearings inserted, Hogs headed rebuilt with "O" rings so no leaks ! & pedals are lettered ( C,R,B) not 26/27 wide type. Because of the larger brake drum in trans. car is safer as it stops quickly for a T. 4 dip pan straightened on KR Jig. Has dual internal oil feeds to front bearings. Mag and magnets are reworked by "ron's" Coils are rebuilt and in box with KW Switch, Internal contacts and porcelains are original Ford not repros for best contact.. Has an "E TIMER" so no screwing around with spark and runs really smooooth with lots of power, yet looks original. Comes with a'17 block that can be modified to '13, early narrow nosed oil correct pan as a spare &possibly NOS crankshaft. Correct front and rear ends all rebuilt with new bushings and new Mae West shackles roller bearings in rear end not brass plates, hasTapered leaf springs. Front is new & repro rear is mint used original. drive shaft has FUN PROJECTS adjustable bearing and NOS U joint.. Has fabric lined accessory brake shoes not cast iron and will stop. All chassis sand blasted and primed and is urethane black with hardner to make oil and gas resistant. All oilers are correct brass. Battery is 6 volt 1 yr old. All fenders, hood former, gas tank, running boards, hood are new Rootlieb. Headlamps are new Rootlieb ( I did not paint them to change from '12 to '13 style). Prestolite tank painted factory grey and is full. Have Langs kit to hook up lights to it, but not installed...yet. Steering colum is all rebuilt with new brass parts and 26-27 gears for easy & safe steering. Body is by Pleasantville Body Co. Wheels are rebuilt by the Amish in Ohio and beautiful, all wood and hardware is new .( all 4) with sandblasted and filled rims and hubs that were nice to start with. Wheel bearings possibly NOS. Tires of course are new. Radiator is new from "BERGS". Side lamps are nice originals with burners but have dings in the fonts that are minor lamps are restored other wise ...same for the tail lamp all are corect '13-'14, Speedo is winged script. Horn is original with new LANGS tube ,reed, fittings. As I had intended to keep this as my own car I did it right, But we have the American Eagle "T" racer and wife prefers to show that and we are looking for a '33 Ford body if any one has one available to put a hi perf '51 Merc Flatie we have into. Car is dusty and a bit dirty in some shots as pictures were taken just after winter storage in a dusty barn. This '13 draws a lot of attention where ever it goes and kids just love it !! The touring shown in one pic is sold and gone. Many small parts are either NOS Ford or repros from Langs & Bob's.

Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.
Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
