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!

Ford Focus PHEV on the way?

Tue, Jan 21 2014

A refreshed Ford Focus is in the works and that means a few details are leaking out. Spy shots from last month indicated the Focus will have a gaping grille just like its "One Ford" global C-segment comrade, the Fiesta. While Ford is being quiet about it, the Focus could also be getting an "Energi" option, joining the C-Max Energi and Fusion Energi in Ford's plug-in hybrid family. The Focus will likely use technology originated in the C-Max Energi that combines a 2.0-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor capable of a 20-mile range, according to Autoexpress. The pure electric Focus is expected to stay in the lineup despite its slow sales; its price range should be similar to what's on the market now. The third-generation Focus looked good enough to become the top-selling nameplate in the world in 2012. Some exterior changes to look for in the Euro-spec model at the Geneva Motor Show in March include a reshaped hood, front wing endplate and rear bumper. Interior spy shots have hinted at an updated dashboard design and a simplified, less cluttered control panel with updated climate controls. Under the hood, there are quite a few power options rumored to be available - a gasoline EcoBoost with up to 123 horsepower and two turbo-diesel TDCI options, a 1.6-liter or 2.0-liter mills that would produce between 94 hp and 161 hp. Then there are new 1.5-liter diesel and 1.5-liter EcoBoost gasoline variants that meet regulations in China, Brazil and Russia.

Shelby GT500 and Roush Stage 3 go head to head at the drag strip

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is a brilliantly affordable source of horsepower, with a base 300-plus-horsepower version available for well under $30,000. Jumping up to about $35,000 will get you a solid 420 horsepower from a high-revving V8, while those with some extra disposable income can get a pair of 600-plus-horsepower monsters. Both the Roush Stage 3 with its Phase 3 package and Ford's factory Shelby GT500 even crest the 650-horsepower mark, with 675 and 662 ponies, respectively.
Naturally, someone needed to find out which of these hi-po Mustangs was the quickest. And while this video is quite obviously a dealership commercial, at least there's some solid drag racing between two of the most powerful performance machines available for under $100,000.
With two NHRA drag racers at the wheel, the Stage 3 and GT500 go head to head for three races. Scroll down below to see the results in the full video.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.
