Up for sale is this incredible 1925 Ford Model T Touring convertible.  It has been stored in a climate controlled building for over 47 years!  It was parked in the back corner of a pole barn.  It had a nice Model A Woody parked next to it. Not a bad room-mate! It is completely original and has never had any sort of restoration.  This car has only had 2 owners until I purchased it a few weeks ago.  The gentleman I bought it from is a retired Ford employee who has owned and cared for numerous show winning Fords.  He was also a Model B mechanic for the US Military and served in the Korean War.  His passion for early Fords is very visible with this Model T.  Him and his wife drove and showed this vehicle in the early 60s throughout southern Ohio.  It got parked in the fall of 1967 and was never pulled out of his garage again until the end of August, 2014.  I have made no attempt to start or drive this car.  I haven't even washed it.  It is in true "barn find" condition!  There is evidence that some sort of tune-up or mechanical work had been started and not finished.  There are some un-hooked wires and lose bolts under the hood. The cooling fan and belt were also removed and the lower radiator hose disconnected.  I asked the previous owner if he could remember why it was parked or what was being done to it and he could not recall (He's 84 and has 12 vehicles to keep tabs on...)   The interior of the car is amazing.  I could not find one tear or blemish on either seat.  The floors and door panels are also very nice with little wear.  I was told the top is original and has no tears that I could find. It folded down and back up with ease. Stashed in the back seat was the boot and straps for the top, and a full set of side curtains that are in equally amazing condition considering their age.  All doors open and shut like they are new.  No sagging, etc.  All the pedals, and column levers move freely with no binding.  Steering works as it should.  The original Ford script key and leather key pouch are still in the ignition that turns/operates as it should.  The windshield and side/rear mirrors are all in excellent shape with no visible cracks.  I believe the windshield is just dirty, not permanently hazy. ( I used my finger to draw a "T" on the drivers side lower portion and it came right off.)  All the tires hold air.  The original hand crank, and crank strap are still present along with the rear spare wheel/tire.  Both cowl lanterns are in excellent shape.  The wicks still adjust as they should.  The suspension looks complete and functional but obviously no road testing has been done to verify that.  The body is very solid.  The only evidence of any sort of rust is on the drivers rear lower corner (see pic) The paint is original and has scratches and dings here and there but is very presentable for an unrestored car of this age. There are no hood latches on the car currently but there was a parts bag from early Ford laying on the floor that has a nice original set of latches that will come with the car.  There are other misc parts included.  There is even the original jack assembly and Ford script tool set.  Please refer to pictures for parts, accessories included. 

I've been building and restoring classic cars for quite some time and I have never seen a survivor/barn car in this condition.  I honestly feel that with a good bath, a mechanical tune-up and some TLC this would make an absolutely amazing ORIGINAL early Ford.  These unrestored original cars are getting harder and harder to find, let alone in this condition.  I've been as honest and straight forward as I can be with this car.  If you have any questions at all or would like more detailed pictures of anything, please do not hesitate to ask.  I have a clear Ohio title in my name.  The car is located in Liberty Township, Ohio, approx. 25 miles north of Cincinnati, Ohio.  I will deal with overseas buyers.  Buyer is responsible for any/all shipping and transportation of the vehicle.  I am available to help your carrier or you load.  The car WILL NOT leave my barn until all payments have been made or cleared at the bank.  Zero feedback bids will be cancelled.  A $500 deposit is due within 48hrs of the auction ending. 

Please note that I will be out of town 9-10-14 thru 9-14-14 and again on 9-23-14 thru 10-2-14.  I would really like car picked up between 9-14-14 thru 9-23-14 if possible.

Ford Mustang challenges Lamborghini in amazing drift battle

Fri, Dec 18 2015

Engines scream and tires billow with smoke as Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Daigo Saito stage a drift battle through an abandoned Japanese resort that looks like a Russian village in this stunning clip. The high-performance ballet of these amazing machines sliding around makes this one of the best videos of the year. To fight this duel, Gittin straps into his 550-horsepower Ford Mustang, and Saito meets the pony car's challenge with a drift-prepped Lamborghini Murcielago. The drivers hit a curving road and show expert car control as the men slide these very different vehicles just inches from each other. Eventually, night descends, and they add some fire to the scene to give the stunts a more apocalyptic look. The production values for this short clip are phenomenal, and the editing makes the viewer feel right in the middle of the action. If you want to get behind the scenes of this impressive display of drifting, Speedhunters did a great job capturing the event in photos. Related Video:

The 2014 Transit Connect Cargo Van is also the subject of a safety recall, due to a possible problem with adhesive used on the exterior plastic panel on the sliding doors. There are 19,825 units covered by that recall, which dealers will also repair free of charge. You can find more information on both bulletins in the press releases below.
