1926 Model T Ford Roadster Pickup Truck - Factory Original Pickup on 2040-cars
Levering, Michigan, United States
1926 Model T Ford Roadster Pickup Truck We are offering for Auction here this week my father's 1926 Model T Ford Roadster Pickup Truck which is a factory built pickup that was only offered in 1926 & 27. All other pickups were conversions that were assembled after they left the factory. The VIN / Engine # is 14236540 and is located behind the water pump so I could not provide a picture of this number for verification, although the last three numbers are visible and they do match up. The truck is in very good running condition and the only reason my father has decided to regretfully sell it is that he fell and broke his leg this spring and at 87 years old he has lost enough mobility that he just can't get in and out of the truck anymore to enjoy having it. So now he's decided to pass it along to someone who can still use and enjoy it like he did for so many years. This Model T Pickup was restored completely by a gentleman in the Chicago area about 16 years ago, (+/-) and my father purchased it from him about 14 years ago. The truck originally came from northern Minnesota before restoration, which is why it has been outfitted with the front fender mounted running lights which was a requirement in that state back at the time the truck was still used there. One other unique feature on this truck is the glass oiler reservoirs mounted at the top of each king pin (see picture) for more efficient lubrication of the front steering components. This truck is in very good running condition with all mechanical items working just as they should and has had an after market "flat tube" radiator core installed in it as this allows the truck to run much cooler than the old original "round tube" core that it came with. The radiator cap is an original "Moto Meter" temperature gauge type cap and works well. It comes with an original Stewart Warner hand operated "Ahhooga" horn mounted to the drivers door and has the factory equipment electric horn with the button located on the steering column. This truck is equipped with an electric starter which makes start up a one man operation and much easier. A new 6 volt 650 cca battery was installed just last month so you should be in good shape for the next five years or so with that. There are no mechanical issues that I'm aware of to report and the only flaw on the truck is some deterioration in the paint and metal also I believe on the passenger side only at the bottom of the body in the area of what I would call the "rear cab corner". Along with some similar but much smaller areas along the bottom of the body from under the passenger door to up near the firewall area in what I would call the "rocker panel area". I posted pictures of these areas that have flaws in them and there is also a couple of small scratches near the bottom lip of the rear passenger side fender. If the truck sells for the reserve price or higher we will be including all the tools from the fender mounted tool box on the drivers side as well as a quantity of extra original & NOS parts that he has acquired over the years. The tool box contains: An original "Ford" oil can - "Ford" brass tube tire pump - A "Ford" mechanical jack - Two pouches of original "Ford" wrenches (about 10 wrenches) - A set of old original ignition wrenches - and a fuel "dip stick" gauge for checking fuel level - and lastly an old brass fire extinguisher. These items are all shown in one picture along with another picture of all the extra spare parts that will come with the truck also. PAYMENT: I will require a $ 500.00 deposit through PayPal within 48 hours of the end of the auction from the winning bidder. The balance needs to be paid in full within 10 days or at the time of pick up which ever is sooner. Payment will need to be made by Cash, a Bank Cashiers Check from a recognized US Bank, or by wire transfer into my fathers Bank account, and I will need to verify deposit of all funds before the truck leaves my location. SHIPPING: This vehicle is being offered for local pick up at our location only. (49755 Levering, Michigan) Although I will be happy to help with loading onto your trailer or a transport companies trailer if you make all shipping arrangements with this carrier. I can be available seven days a week for loading as long as I know when you or your carrier will be here for pick up. I hope I've covered everything but please feel free to contact me with any questions or additional picture requirements you may have and I will do my best to accomadate you. I thank you for your interest in this nice old Model T and wish you the best of luck in bidding. Thanks, Tom ** Mileage is not correct, (stupid ebay requirement) Actual mileage is unknown due to mechanical limitations.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon
Tue, Jan 3 2017The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster
Mon, 25 Aug 2014At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.
How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
