Up for sale is a 1924 Ford Model T Roadster that I took as a partial trade for my harley. I am no expert on old cars but I thought this would be nice to drive around in, little did I know this is not like my 2011 Ford. The old owner told me he drove this car mostly in parades and for his grandsons. When I brought it home I put it in my garage and couldn't even figure out how to get the car back into the start position. It has a HI/LO gear, a hand brake that I guess also acts as the neutral position (hard for me to find). 6 Volt system. The car has not been on the road this whole year so I decided its time to let someone else enjoy it who has time to figure out how to drive it. Throttle is in the steering shaft as is the mechanical advance (never figured that out) Reverse is a pedal on the floor, trans brake is a pedal, not sure about the third pedal, tires are new, new wiring was put in (all by the previous owner). The model T will come with boxes of extra parts and a Brand new convertible top with correct model T nails, rear doors, extra firewall, spare tire with holder, all original wiring, all the books are included, new gaskets, spare tire cover, extra rims, luggage rack, tire irons, and much more. I have never driven the car but it turns over with good compression (when in gear you can move the car with the crank) You're more then welcome to stop over and check out the car and start it if you know how. I think the rear brakes will need adjusting or something of that sort, The hand brake is very touchy. This is not a show piece but looks great from 5 feet away. Any time I open the garage people flock to the car. I have many more pictures if you need them. I will help out with transport if you need it and I'm ok with shipping it oversees if the car is paid in full first. Thanks for looking

Ford bringing C-Max Solar Energi Concept to CES
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Solar energy might not be enough to power a usable electric vehicle on its own, but that doesn't mean it can't lend a helping hand. And that's what Ford has in store for the Consumer Electronics Show opening next week in Las Vegas.
Ford has essentially taken its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid and fitted it with the latest in solar panel technology developed by SunPower, acting like a magnifying glass to capture as much of the sun's energy as possible. So you get the benefit of an electric vehicle, with the range assurance of a hybrid, without needing to draw from the grid.
Ford estimates that a day of charging in the sunshine will give the C-Max Solar Energi concept the same full charge as the production PHEV, with a total range of 620 miles - 21 of which can be run on electric power alone. Otherwise the vehicle - which remains a concept for the time being - is identical to the existing C-Max Energi. The top-selling model in Ford's growing hybrid and electric vehicle portfolio helps put Ford just behind Toyota among the top seller of hybrids in America. Scope out the images in the gallery above and the video clip and press release below for a closer look.
Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
