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 to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty is class-leading once again

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Time for everyone to feign surprise - Ford has just announced that it has the increased horsepower and torque levels of its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine for 2015. As you'd expect, the Blue Oval is claiming class-leading figures of 440 hp (up from 400) and 860 pound-feet (up from 800), and that's enough to enable Ford's F-450 Super Duty model to tow as much as 31,200 pounds, which, again, the automaker claims is class leading.
Now, it should be noted that the max rating quoted above is achieved with the Ford F-450. The 2015 F-350, which is perhaps a better comparison to the Ram 3500 HD pickup that claimed the towing crown in 2013 at an even 30,000 pounds, is capped at 26,500 pounds, either with a gooseneck or when towing a fifth-wheel trailer. In any case, it's going to take a load the size of Godzilla to make any of the current crop of fullsize heavy-duty pickup trucks break into a sweat. For those keeping track, Chevy rates its 2015 Silverado HD at a maximum of 23,200 pounds.
Ford's newfound pulling power comes courtesy of a larger turbocharger for its in-house Power Stroke engine, new fuel injector tips and, we'd assume, retuned computer controls. Besides the engine enhancements, the F-350 gets a wider front track for 2015 and new front springs, while the F-450 gains commercial-grade 19.5-inch wheels and tires, new rear U-joints, leaf springs, stabilizer bars and shocks. The steering and brake systems have also been upgraded.
