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.

Can an actual Ford F-150 ride on 4 Power Wheels F-150s?
Tue, Dec 9 2014A lot of kids are rough on their toys, especially when it comes to those made to be used outside, like a four-wheeled kid-size Power Wheels. Whether it's cruising through the sand box, carrying piles of rocks in the driveway or crashing around trees in the backyard, these motorized vehicles often take punishment from the moment the giftwrap comes off. The folks at Fisher-Price decided to give their latest F-150 Power Wheels a true torture test worse than any kid could have ever managed by setting a real 2015 Ford F-150 on top of four of them. Would the little toy trucks explode in a shower of plastic shards in a massive collapse, and if not, could they drive away afterwards? The latest F-150 might be 700 pounds lighter thanks to the switch to aluminum, but it's still a fullsize pickup. According to this clip, the truck weighs in at 4,120 pounds, which puts an average of 1,030 pounds on each of the toys. Check out the video above to see how the stunt goes, and click on the gallery below for some behind-the-scenes looks at the setup.
Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.
Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks
Mon, 21 Apr 2014The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
