New $4,000 Engine ~ For Sale By Car's Third Owner Who Has Owned It 42 Years! on 2040-cars
Year:1926
Mileage:5
Location:
|
This 1926 Model T Coupe is "parade ready" and is reluctantly being offered for sale by its owner. I am helping a friend who is approaching 80 years old and for health reasons has reached that dreaded time of life where he must dispose of his cars because he is moving into a retirement home. He has owned this Model T for 42 years (bought it in 1972) and he estimates that during his 42 years of ownership he has driven it a total of maybe 1,000 miles puttering around the block with his grandkids or driving in a parade.
He indicates that he bought it from a man who owned it for two years who said he bought it from the original owner which makes him the third owner - YOU CAN BE THE FOURTH OWNER!!! The car has never been disassembled for restoration, but rather had a body-on paint job in 1981 which still shines and a fresh interior was installed by a professional upholsterer. With just a little bit of elbow grease, some wet sanding and some polishing compound, the paint should shine like a new dime! The engine is the original engine which recently had a professional rebuild with all new babbitt by Ross Lilleker of Lilleker Antique Auto Restorations in College Station Texas at a cost of over $4,000 (we have all the receipts for work done) and since the engine was installed in the car it has probably not been driven over five miles!!! If you've always wanted a nice Model T Coupe, here's a good one that no one messed up trying to take apart and restore. * The "Balloon Cord" tires were bought from Snyders Antique Auto Parts and probably have less than 15 miles on them since new. * It has a new Exide battery installed in the last 3 weeks at a cost of $125. * It has an electric starter however it comes with the original hand crank should the need ever arise or if you want to impress your friends and show them how it was "done in the good old days". * The car has always been stored in an insulated garage and has been "pampered" its whole life. * The car comes complete with a new reproduction sunvisor which was bought from Snyders Antique Auto but never installed. * Comes with copy of 300 page Model T Ford Service Manual. The car was purchased in Kansas in 1972 and still has a clear Kansas title even though the current owner has lived in Texas for many years. "Whizz" was the owner's nickname and the personalized Kansas Plate "WHIZZ" is an antique plate which is good for life. We are starting the bidding at $6,000 with NO RESERVE - the high bidder gets it!!! Don't let this chance of a lifetime pass you by. The winning bidder must deposit $1000 via Pay Pal within 48 hours of the end of the auction and the balance either in cash or certified funds will be due when the car is picked up in Georgetown, Texas. Georgetown is 25 miles north of Austin on Interstate 35. It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange shipment if not picked up in person. If you are one of those "last 60 second bidders" be sure to add it to your WATCH LIST for next Sunday night so you won't forget - it would be difficult to find a nicer Model T Coupe than this one. Good luck - feel free to ask any questions and I will get you an answer. It is offered locally as well so we reserve the right to end the auction early should a local buyer make us an offer we can't refuse. |

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day
Mon, 23 Jun 2014"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.
Cadillac Escalade gets $5,000 discount to ward off Lincoln Navigator
Wed, Nov 8 2017General Motors apparently isn't going to let early good reception for the redesigned Lincoln Navigator steal thunder from its own luxury SUV without a fight. It's offering a $5,000 discount on the purchase or lease of the Cadillac Escalade this month to any buyer who trades in a 1999 or newer Lincoln model, Bloomberg reports. GM spokesman Jim Cain told Bloomberg the incentive is being offered to keep prices competitive for the Escalade. The 2018 Navigator starts at $72,055, compared to $73,995 for the Escalade, but the outgoing version of the Navigator is selling for an average of around $53,000, compared with more than $80,000 on average for the Escalade, he said. The Escalade was the top-selling domestic luxury SUV in October and No. 4 in the segment, according to Motor Intelligence. It far outsold the Navigator, which last saw a refresh in 2015 and a full redesign in 2007. But Ford is hoping to gain back some ground with the new Navigator and updated Expedition, which also trails the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevy Suburban in its segment. Bloomberg notes that one Morgan Stanley analyst estimates that GM owns a $2 billion annual pretax profit edge in the lucrative luxury sport utility segment. Our recent First Drive review called the new Navigator "far superior to its primary competitor, the Cadillac Escalade."Related Video:
Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback
Tue, Jun 9 2015The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:
