Up for bids is my 1916 Model T Ford Touring. If you have been looking for a Brass Era Model T, here it is! As you know, 1916 was The Last of The Brass. I am a little confused why the kerosene cowl lamps have brass bezels. Could it be a 1915? I don’t know!

 

After 20 years of restoring Model A’s, I got interested in learning more about the Model T Ford. In the last six months I have purchased three T’s, learned how to drive them and

lots about the mechanics, etc. The first two I purchased I had no problem getting them running and driving. Unfortunately, I have not had the same luck with this 1916 Touring

 

So far I have replaced all four coils with rebuilt wooden cased originals which work excellent. I have tested the new plugs for spark and all four have a strong spark in the correct timing order, 1,2,4,3. The commentator has been removed and cleaned.

 

I installed a Ford Model NH carburetor that ran fine on my 1922 T. This carburetor appears to be exactly like the Holley Model NH, however the plate does say Ford instead of Holley. I have cleaned the excellent gas tank and verified good gas flow.

 

The head was removed and the tops of all pistons cleaned and seven of the eight valves replaced with new valves. Although this T has been stored for several years the engine turns freely. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get the engine to run! I guess it’s just due to my inexperience with Model T’s. Those who are have told me the timing is somehow off and possibly 180 degrees out. Hopefully someone with more experience can get this nice Brass T up and going.

 

I do believe the transmission is in good condition. While attempting to start the engine we towed it around a large lot and both low and high gears turned the engine over with no problem the brake band worked so good it caused the rear wheels to skid!!

 

Although the body needs restoration work, all three doors close and latch. It appears some items have been added somewhere in the past. I don’t believe a 16 had a dash and I’m not sure about the electric lights and generator. I did not notice any leaks in the cooling system. I do have a very nice brass radiator for this era Model T available separately but not included in this auction. If interested, I will send pictures.

 

I have posted the maximum pictures allowed by ebay but will be happy to send more upon request.

 

So, here’s a chance for someone to own one of the rare Brass Era T’s. I have started the bidding at the amount I have invested. Not trying to make a big profit here, I just think it should go to someone who has more experience and desire to take it to the next level. I need to make more room to finish several Model A projects, so this Model T needs a new home!

 

I have not had the car titled so it will be sold with a “Bill of Sale” only

.

 You are welcome to come to Augusta, GA. for inspection or I will be happy to show it to your representative who may live closer since it will be sold

“as is” wilt no warranty! For your convenience, once paid in full I can store it for a short period of time, however it will be outside under tarps.

 

Buyer will be responsible for pickup or delivery.

 

A $500.00 deposit via PayPal must be posted within 48 hours of auction close and the balance via cashier’s check within seven day.

 

I will be happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability and send any other pictures requested.

 

NO RESERVE!

 

Serious bidders only PLEASE!

 

Thanks for looking!

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma top ASG list of most eco-friendly trucks

Mon, Mar 31 2014

No one's going to confuse the massively popular Ford F-150 pickup truck with a green vehicle, but at least it performs well in an environmental sense when compared to its brethren. The Automotive Science Group (ASG) took on the odd (to us, at least) task of measuring which pickup trucks are friendliest to the environment and found that the big seller in the Blue Oval's flagship F-series came up big, while the Toyota Tacoma came up, well, slightly smaller. That's a good thing. Among the 245 light-duty trucks that ASG studied, the 3.7-liter V6-powered F-150 won ASG's award for full-size trucks for both regular and crew cabs. Meanwhile, the 2.7-liter Toyota Tacoma, with its fuel-economy rating of 23 miles per gallon combined, had smallest overall life-cycle carbon footprint and won ASG's two mid-sized categories. Finally, the Chevrolet Silverado won best all-around performance in the full-size extended-cab category. The ASG factored in eco-friendliness, price and social performance (which is measured by, "considering the rights of those charged with vehicle manufacture and assembly") to come up with its findings. Sales of Ford's F-Series trucks rose 8.4 percent last year to 74,592 units and accounted for more than a third of the total 2013 sales of Ford and its Lincoln unit. Check out the ASG's press release below. Truck Buyers Faced With "Eco" Options Galore Which 2014 full-size trucks warrant eco claims? 25 March 2014 [Santa Rosa, CA] – With a myriad of eco-branded trucks hitting the North American marketplace in 2014 – from Ford's EcoBoost and GM's EcoTec3 to Ram's latest addition, the EcoDiesel – the Automotive Science Group (ASG) was prompted to offer an objective, scientifically-based assessment to determine exactly which 2014 trucks actually earn their "eco" badge. According to ASG and the principles of ecological economics, a vehicle's eco-rating must be multi-faceted to include both environmental and economic considerations, and so the Group's proprietary rating platform – the Automotive Performance Index – does just that. Using a unique combination of vehicle data inputs that include conventional specifications as well as social, environmental and economic performance indicators, ASG's vehicle assessments empower consumers to make choices based on one's personal principles and financial requisites.

Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China

Fri, Jan 2 2015

We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.
