Selling my 1924 Model T Tudor sedan. I bought this car as a project and have done some work to it, but have run out of time, ability and desire. The body is in nice shape very little rust for a 90 year old car. It has some surface rust here and there, the right front fender is the only spot on the whole car where it is through(see closeup, it's small). Some surface rust under the step boards. The chassis/frame are in solid shape. The car has ancient paint, the lower windshield and rear right window are cracked, the rest of the glass is in great shape. All the windows roll up and down but are a bit stiff, the drivers goes up and down, but stops about 3/4 the way up. The tires have tons of tread left, but are starting to show tiny age cracks, so to be safe you should replace them. The wood wheels are good and solid. The interior is original and all there, should be replaced, it's pretty stained.  The rubber roof and roof wood needs replacing. The wood floor is in nice shape.  The battery was shot when I bought it, so I put in a new battery, and she cranks, the horn and lights work.  I then put in new spark plugs, spark plug wires, rebuilt the Holley NH carb, and actually got it running but very poorly, very, very poorly, where it starts up puttery and will run a few seconds and die.  It will not run long enough time to drive.  That's where I am with the car right now.  I went on some websites and they said check the coils, check the timer etc., that is beyond me, please be familiar with these cars before you buy. 

I have about $700-800 in brand new parts that go with the car. They were ordered from Macs and Langs specialist Model T parts. 

They are.......A roof wood kit from MACs made specifically for this car(cost $450), a custom car cover specifically for this car, Ford spare tire cover, Ford floor mats, coolant pipe, hoses and clamps, pedal boots, pedal pads, 4 window cranks, 4 window crank escutcheons, carb hot air pipe, door bumpers, brake pads and springs, step plate screws, patent plate, Ford script radiator plate, brass fuel shut off valve, 2 brass radiator petcocks, and some catalogues to order parts from. 

They sell the rubber roof kit for about $120, so the majority of the cost is taken care of already since I am providing the wood kit.

I have tried to describe this car as well as I could and put in tons of pictures, so keep in mind it's 90 years old and needs work/restoration, so expect what you see in pictures. It is a really solid and complete car to start with. If you have a bit more knowledge and time than me, it should be up and going pretty easily.  Clean, open Florida title, in previous owners name, ready to go in your name. I will also give a bill of sale. Sold as is, with no warranty. If you are local and want to inspect it before bidding, I encourage that, just let me know. No complaining or asking questions afterwards. Deposit of $250 due within 2 days through Paypal, the balance in cash within 2 weeks. If you are out of state and need more time, let me know BEFORE you bid, maybe when can work something out. Buyer responsible for shipping costs and arranging shipping plans to pick up from my house. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, for any reason.

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.

Ford Focus RS will go global, come to US

Thu, Dec 11 2014

"We are transforming our approach to performance." – Mark Fields Ford will launch a new high-performance Focus RS around the world, including the United States, company CEO Mark Fields confirmed at a press conference Thursday morning. It is expected to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show, though launch timing is unclear. "We are transforming our approach to performance," Fields said. The RS will serve as a hotter variant of the Focus, which will be redesigned next year as part of Ford's 16 product launches. Our spy photographers have already captured images of a purported RS, which you can see above. Ford last sold a Focus RS in Europe in 2009, and it continues the long lineage of RS-badged performance cars, which dates to 1968. "The RS has a significant heritage and pedigree," Ford product chief Raj Nair said. The Focus RS will slot above the Focus ST, which will continue, a spokesman said. The ST runs a turbocharged, 252-horsepower four-cylinder that's paired with a six-speed manual transmission. It also has chassis and design upgrades to reinforce its athletic dynamics. The most recent intel suggests that the new RS could use Ford's 2.3-liter turbo-four, tuned to anywhere from 325 to 350 hp. All-wheel drive is also rumored to be part of the new RS formula. Meanwhile, Ford announced it is putting all of its sporty units under the umbrella name of "Ford Performance," which will be led by Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Ford Performance will include Ford Racing, SVT (which is responsible for the Raptor and Shelby GT350) and RS. "We're changing Ford's performance business," Nair said. Ford is placing a renewed emphasis on performance, as the customers tend to be younger, wealthier and better educated, Nair said. In other news, Nair said the company is working on a Raptor version of the new, aluminum-bodied F-150, which launched this year. "I want to get it out as quickly as we can," he said.

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.
