Up for auction at NO RESERVE is a 1919 Ford Model T 3 door Touring car. The car is a '19 touring body with a '23 chassis. It's a fun little car that runs strong. Plenty of power with no smoke. Engine and rear end were already gone through when I got the car. Radiator is in great shape. New 12v battery. Electric start. New Champion X spark plugs. Rebuilt carb. New Anderson timer. New manifold gaskets. Brake, reverse, and high/low band are in great shape. Has a brand new fuel tank. Rust Free. Chassis is in good condition, wheels are beautiful and all spokes are tight. I'm pretty sure it is an original Ford body and is restorable, or can be used as is. It has no major dents, however it has a few welds on it. The wood is in good shape. I have been playing with and driving the car as it is, but to make it complete, it needs a windshield, interior, top, splash aprons, hood shelves, hood latches(included), one door latch striker, e-brake rods(included), horn, steering column support strap, and a little bit of wiring(key switch, headlamp pigtail, etc.) There may be a few minor items I am leaving out. I have never tried to run the car on mag but I bet its in good working order considering the work that was put into the engine. But that is just speculation. the car really does run great and stops people in their track wherever you go. You could choose to fully complete an easy restoration on this little car, or drive it just the way it is now. What you see in the pictures is what you get. The car will be sold on a bill of sale, however if the buyer wants me to go through the process to get a title, it takes approximately 8 weeks through the new process in the state of Arkansas to get one. That will be strictly up to the buyer. No paypal on this item please. Cashier's check, USPS money order, or cash only upon pickup. Complete payment must be made within 5 days of auction end. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to store the item so I cannot hold onto it. I have one of my antique tractors kicked out of the shop right now, so I need to get it back in there ASAP. Buyer needs to contact me within 24 hours of the auction end to arrange payment and pickup. There may be a possibility that I could deliver for a fee, depending on my schedule in the next 2 weeks. Please do not bid if you cannot or do not plan to pay for the item under these terms. I hope to have some links to some videos up in the next day or two. Please, if you have any questions, contact me by phone or text at 870-882-9670. I would love to talk with you about it. Thanks for looking!

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:

MotorWeek remembers pre-EcoBoost Ford with the Thunderbird TurboCoupe

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Sometimes it feels great to embrace nostalgia for a trip down memory lane, and MotorWeek indulges that occasional desire with its regular Retro Review series. This time, the long-lived show goes back to the '80s to check out two of the top performance vehicles in the Ford lineup at the time – the 1987 Thunderbird TurboCoupe and Mustang GT. Both models had just received thorough refreshes after several years on the market. Long before an EcoBoost badge ever met its models, Ford made early forays into experimenting with turbocharging on vehicles like the T-Bird TurboCoupe. Based on MotorWeek's assessment, the company was on the right track. The boosted 2.3-liter four-cylinder was apparently a bit coarse but offered 190 horsepower with little turbo lag, compared to 155 hp the year before. The Mustang GT is likely the more-fondly remembered of these performance Fords today and provides an interesting point of comparison against the TurboCoupe. MotorWeek found some faults with the 'Stang, though. While it was quick for the time with a sprint to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, the 'car was described as "a nose-heavy beast" for its handling. And for a look at Ford's future in turbocharging Â– the GT will have an EcoBoost powerplant Â– check out our Related Video:

Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
