1926 Model T Ford Truck on 2040-cars
Athens, Georgia, United States
This is one of those miracles in which a heap got working. It works great! Starts right up, drives, brakes on a dime. It is the original flat 4 engine. The timing is electronic. I put an alternator in after messing with the generator for way too long. The rear end has a complete rebuild. The transmission has new kevlar bands. The starter works great (you hot wire two wires right now; I have a key switch that I'll include). Lights work. There's a rear running light and a stop light. The brakes are powerful disc brakes that I installed. They work perfectly and with total confidence. The emergency brake is a drum and it is fine. It has an air filter. There's hardly any oil leaking but I can't say that it is 100% dry. I mean, really good for an old car... but it will leave a little puddle after a few months. What else? No seat belts. The tires are newer (obviously) and cool. It is a unique ride! Nobody has a car that looks like this and yes it turns heads wherever it goes. Top speed is probably 40 mph. I have no idea what the fuel consumption is. There's some rust here and there but nothing structural. Drives great. There's some play in the wheel but can be easily worked with. I haven't driven a lot of Model Ts so I don't know if it is more than usual. The car was once used by a Clown Club. Buy it!!
I know the price may be more than you'd like... but I'm selling at a loss, as it always is with these old cars. What you're getting is a mechanically perfect ancient car that can be redesigned in whatever direction you want to go in. Anyway, the price is firm. Here's a video I made of the car starting up on the crank (which is optional, since the starter works). http://youtu.be/K-YRGgtRgdA |

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]
Thu, 05 Dec 2013It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.
