1916 Brass Era Model T Ford Touring No Reserve on 2040-cars
Augusta, Georgia, United States
|
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
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 “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

America was the unexpected theme at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show thanks to Trump
Wed, Jan 11 2017President-elect Donald Trump was not in attendance at this year's Detroit Auto Show, but it sure seemed like he was the target audience for many of the press conferences and announcements surrounding the event. Several manufacturers chose to play up existing and future commitments to the US in general and American jobs specifically in their presentations to the press, and we're pretty sure that has everything to do with Trump's recent targeting of automakers on Twitter. To us, it seemed automakers were going on the offensive to try and preempt any future tweet-shaming for investing in auto manufacturing anywhere but the US. The pro-America sentiment started the week prior to the auto show, with Ford announcing that it would build several future electrified vehicles at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan and also cancel a $1.6 billion factory planned for Mexico. Ford announced the two items on the same day, but the reality is that they likely have no relation to each other; the Mexican plant is being skipped because the company doesn't need the extra capacity to build the Ford Focus right now. Trump was still happy to share the news on Twitter. Then, on Sunday, FCA announced it would invest $1 billion in manufacturing plants in Ohio and Michigan to produce the new Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Wrangler-based pickup. It's not as though those potential new jobs were on their way out of the US, necessarily, but FCA took the opportunity to mention that plant upgrades at the Warren Truck Plant would allow the company to build Ram heavy duty trucks, which are currently assembled in Mexico, there. CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that Trump and his proposed tariffs had nothing to do with the decision. We certainly believe that, but we also have to believe that the timing of the release, positive outcome for America, and zero gain for Mexico were all orchestrated. Again, Trump sent out a victory tweet as if this had been his doing. Ford then used its press conference at the show on Monday to reiterate the plans for Flat Rock and also confirm that the Ford Bronco and Ranger nameplates will be returning to the US market, and that both will be built at a plant in Michigan. Announcements of manufacturing locations are usually aimed at the UAW, which certainly has a stake in these things, but again this one was broadcast to the auto show crowd in general.
NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
Swedish car mag says Ford Mondeo is dangerously, illegally overweight [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Sweden's Teknikens Varld has a reputation for being very persnickety when it comes to auto safety testing, and its latest catch is the Mondeo Titanium Estate 2.0 TDCi 150 bhp S6 MPS (basically a station wagon variant of the Fusion). In addition to the model's mile-long name, it has another problem according to the Swedes, because its weight on the scales does not equal the official numbers for the vehicle. Teknikens Varld claims the wagon is dangerously overweight because it weighs in 4,145 pounds, while Ford officially lists its weight at 3,530 pounds. That 615-pound disparity means that if a family loads it to what they think is the model's gross vehicle weight, it will actually be too heavy, and therefore illegal to drive in Sweden. According to the magazine, when it tried doing this, the rear wheels scraped against the wells, and the estate failed the mag's legendary moose test. However, at 220 pounds over the limit, it passed the test. When reached for comment by Autoblog, Jay Ward, Senior Manager at Ford of Europe Product Communications, explained the reason for the deviation between the official numbers and the magazine's test: "We are aware of this, but this is not an issue that relates specifically to the safety of the Mondeo, but is in fact related to the way in which the cars are tested by the authorities. We provided an Ambiente model for the testing but the car that featured in the magazine test was a Titanium model which has a different weight. We are in discussion with the Swedish Transport Agency to change the framework so the real weight of the Titanium model is reported instead of the Ambiente model which will resolve the issue." Teknikens Varld is well-known for calling out automakers for perceived transgressions. Most recently it leveled criticisms against the all-wheel drive system in the Honda CR-V, and both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Porsche Macan failed its moose test.

Manage Settings. The new Ford Mondeo is dangerously overweight The new Ford Mondeo is a great car, which Teknikens Varld's test shows, but there is one problem – the weight. Mondeo weighs 279 kg more than Ford claims. With big load (ie family plus luggage) the car therefore becomes illegal to drive.
