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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks
Thu, Oct 2 2014The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.

From CrabWalks at dawn to post-testing sushi: An inside look at Autoblog’s Tech of the Year Award
Thu, Dec 1 2022TROY, Mich. — On a chilly fall morning, Senior Editor John Snyder rolled into a sleepy suburban park tucked away next to a cemetery a few miles north of Detroit. Driving diagonally — CrabWalking — in the GMC Hummer EV, he made quite the entrance as he maneuvered across the parking lot to the bemusement of Autoblog editors and a few curious park-goers up for their early morning runs. Snyder got everyoneÂ’s attention, and as we evaluate the latest wave of technologies transforming the automotive industry, pizazz matters. We added "wow factor" to our criteria for the 2022 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award, in keeping with the times. The HummerÂ’s CrabWalk feature might have won, had wowness been the only criteria, but we also scored the technologies on significance and how well they work. As it was, the Hummer finished a competitive second this year, behind FordÂ’s Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch, which make towing and hauling easier for modern truck owners. The Genesis GV60Â’s Biometrics was within striking distance in third place, bringing the facial recognition and fingerprint tech commonly used in phones to your car. For more on FordÂ’s win — its second straight Autoblog Technology of the Year Award — read Road Test Editor Zac PalmerÂ’s complete recap. Many have asked: Why do Tech of the Year? For Autoblog, itÂ’s been a point of pride for nearly a decade. In the early days it was a way to differentiate ourselves from print magazines, some of which have been giving out car of the year awards since the early days of the Cold War. With Tech of the Year, we seek to highlight the ways experiencing a vehicle is changing. It was true in 2013 and resonates even more as we head into 2023. Cars and transportation have changed more in the past decade than in arguably the previous four. At its most basic experience, driving a 1985 Buick LeSabre with a decent radio and comfy interior was not all that different from driving a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. Just a few years later, many cars had touchscreens, the internet and some means of driver assistance. Ford joins Tesla as the only two-time winner of Tech of the Year. The Blue Oval captured the award last year for its Pro Power Onboard generator. Tesla won in 2014 for its Supercharger network, and the Model S won in 2016, when we briefly gave out a “technology car” of the year award, in addition to honoring a particular feature.
Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5
Tue, Oct 4 2016We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.
