1925 Ford Model T Roadster Gow Job Jalopy on 2040-cars
Year:1925
Mileage:150
Location:
Waterford, Michigan, United States
|
This car was built specifically to run at the Race of Gentleman race in Wildwood, N.J. It is a very good rendition of a very early hot rod. The car started life out as a touring sedan. The body was cut in half and shortened to roadster dimensions. The back turtle deck is an original from a 1925 roadster. All wood was removed and steel was used in it's place. The door was also skinned with steel, opens and shuts excellent. The interior has a Ford Model A subframe attached to the body so I could run Model A style floorboards. The floorboards are birch plywood. A trimmed down 1930 Ford Model A instrument cluster was used on the stock T dash. The seats are plywood with foam and fake leather, pretty comfortable. The windshield was chopped down with safety glass used. One corner has a small crack. The body sits on a late Model A chassis. The frame rails were pinched in the back to follow the Model T turtledeck. Headlights and taillight are 1929 Ford. All the wiring is brand new and the lights work as they should. Front brakes were completely rebuilt, rears were not rebuilt but work just fine. Steering is from a 1930 Model A. The body was made to look as old as possible. I left many of the dents and dings in it. Paint was brushed on and then buffed down to show some of the primer/age. It has a really great look to it. Engine runs great, has a carter 6 volt electric pump connecting the oval T tank ( in the turtledeck) to the zenith carb. Radiator was custom made to fit the T grill shell. The shell is actually two that I cut in half and welded together so the bottom matches the top. There is no fan on this car, it runs on country roads at 180 degrees all day. If you drive it in traffic alot it will warm up so a fan would be needed for constant stop and go driving. There are a ton of things I am missing so please feel free to ask me any questions you have. This is a bare bones car, nothing special, nothing fancy. It has drips, it leaks a bit but it is a blast to drive. It was built to look like a survivor that was built in the early 30's. It gets looks wherever it goes. PLEASE NOTICE if you are a big guy, you probably won't fit in this car, it is small as model T's were. Please NOTE:The mileage is not correct as this car did not originally come with a odometer. It has a clear Michigan title in my name and it matches the number on the engine and is registered as a 1925 Ford Model T. Please do not bid if you do not want to buy this car. This car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds
Thu, 15 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
Ford Focus ST diesel estate in track showdown with Focus ST hatch
Sun, Jan 18 2015Diesel hot hatches are still a concept that's gaining ground. Obviously, there are none for sale in the US, but European buyers have the choice of at least the Volkswagen Golf GTD and Ford Focus ST Diesel. What better way to find out how the new, high-performance oil-burner really stacks up than for Ford to stage a race against the gasoline-fueled Focus ST? On paper, the ST Diesel is at a big performance detriment here. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder makes 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque compared to 247 hp and 266 lb-ft for the gas version in this race. However while not a factor for this race, the oil-burner does offer better fuel economy and produces less CO2, which makes a difference for European buyers. Ford skews the race results by giving the ST Diesel Estate a two-second head start for this one-lap battle around the Castle Combe Circuit. Also, this is a video from the Blue Oval, which is going to further minimize the appearance of weakness for its vehicles. Still, both STs really get to show off their strengths, and it's worth seeing how the sibling rivalry shakes out at the finish line.
