Hello and thank you for looking at this BEAUTIFUL piece of American history. Up for auction is a fully restored 1926 Ford Model T Roadster Pickup. I acquired this vehicle a few months ago. I picked it up so I could park it next to my late grandfather's 1930 Model A that was handed down to me. They look excellent together however, I never drive this truck and I hate seeing it sit and collect dust. It is time to find a home that will love her more than I will.
I will admit, I do not know much about Model T's so please bear with me. I will tell you what I know about it and if you have any further questions, please ask them. I will post all questions and answers so that everyone else can see them.
The gentleman that I received this truck from bought it from the guy who had it restored. As you can see in the pictures, they did a FULL restoration. Nothing was skimped on. I was told that the engine and transmission were gone through during the time of restoration. Yes, of course it runs. I start it once in a while and let if run for a minute or two. I have only drove it ONCE. I drove it down the street and back. I was very nervous on driving such a piece of art and not being too familiar with the controls.
I personally would rate this trucks condition a 9 out of 10. The reasoning for that is there is a very small ding by the license plate (pictured). There is also a lil scratch here and there too. Trust me, it is one of the cleanest vehicles that I have seen. It is ALL STEEL. No fiberglass. I went through the truck extensively and I could not find any dents or places where body work has been performed. NO BONDO.
It does have electric start with a newer 6 volt battery. As far as I know, all the lights work. The top folds down perfectly. Glass is perfect. Has stock carburetor on it that has been rebuilt by some company on the internet. All of the fenders have been undercoated (pictured). If you look at the pictures you will notice that even underneath the body was painted.
All the wheels and tires look in great shape. It steered down the road perfectly for me. Brakes seemed to be great. I had no complaints about how it handled. Both doors close and open perfectly. Who ever restored this truck did it correctly and spared no expense. It does have a clear California title and is currently registered. It is titled as a 1921 for some reason though. I can not tell you why. It will come with a couple older manuals for model T's. They look like they are from the 50's.
I believe I have covered everything that I know about this BEAUTIFUL truck. It has always been covered and stored indoors. I do not require a paypal deposit. I do however, require the auction's balance to be paid in full within 7 days of the auction's end in the form of a certified check from a bank that is located across the country such as Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc, etc. I do this because I have a small town bank and it will take a week to clear payment otherwise. I can clear the certified check immediately and overnight you the title. The shipping is up to the winner of the auction. I will assist the shippers in loading the truck and take pictures of the process. If you need to store the truck here for some time, I have no problem with that. Please look at all of the pictures and ask all questions prior to bidding. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK!!

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
Vaughn Gittin Jr. takes his dog for a drift
Tue, 09 Sep 2014
Vaughn Gittin Jr. spends a great deal of his workday going sideways, but he's usually alone in the endeavor. For a guy that is clearly a dog lover, we imagine that can get a bit lonely.
That won't be a problem for Gittin in this latest video, which features the racer hanging out with his good pal Brody (a dog) and everyone's favorite hot hatch, the Ford Fiesta ST.
2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
