Up for auction is a very RARE Cletrac W crawler tractor powered by a Ford Model A engine and trans. It has a Ford Model A grill shell and resembles a Model A. This is a very neat piece and you will probably never seen another. I have had this a while and have too many projects so I am passing this great piece along to someone else to finish and enjoy showing at the shows. This is your chance to have a real conversation piece. It is currently not running, the motor does turn over though so it probably won't take a lot to get running, I just don't have the time and I need the barn space. It is selling NO RESERVE and the starting price is less than a complete model A engine would sell for let alone the original grill shell and the Cletrac crawler. I can load with a forklift. Crawler is probably a 8-10' long and about 5' wide. I had to enter a title down but this is a farm crawler and there is NO title to this. Selling as it where is. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for local sale. Payment due within 7 days.

Someone emailed me to say this is a Model B engine with a Model A head. I don't know how to tell the difference but I just wanted to pass along the info to any perspective bidders.

Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
