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

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:

Expert: 54.5 mpg CAFE standard can be reached without many plug-ins

Sat, Jan 18 2014

Johnson Controls executive Brian Kesseler isn't likely to get any holiday presents this year from Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn or Tesla Motors head Elon Musk, but lots of other folks might be happy with what he has to say about automakers' efforts to reach stricter fleetwide fuel-economy standards. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Kesseler said automakers wouldn't need to sell an extensive number of plug-in vehicles in order to meet the 54.5 mile per gallon Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard the US government set in 2012 for 2025 model-year vehicles. In fact, he said, components such as stop-start engine technology, turbochargers and direct injection may actually do the trick. Already, things like smaller engine sizes and lighter cars are already playing major roles in spurring fuel-efficiency gains. Of course, Johnson Controls sells batteries specially built for stop-start systems, so Kesseler does have a bit of skin in this game. The 54.5-mpg CAFE standard equates to about a 40-mpg "real world" fuel-efficiency level. To put that into perspective, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said in a report late last year that model-year 2013 average fuel economy was an even 24 mpg. That was up from 23.6 mpg for the 2012 model year and 22.4 mpg for 2011.
