1916 Brass Era Model T Ford Touring No Reserve on 2040-cars
Augusta, Georgia, United States
|
Up for bids is my
1916 Model T Ford Touring. If you have been looking for a Brass Era Model T,
here it is! As you know, 1916 was The Last of The Brass. I am a little confused
why the kerosene cowl lamps have brass bezels. Could it be a 1915? I don’t know!
After 20 years of
restoring Model A’s, I got interested in learning more about the Model T Ford.
In the last six months I have purchased three T’s, learned how to drive them
and lots about the
mechanics, etc. The first two I purchased I had no problem getting them running
and driving. Unfortunately, I have not had the same luck with this 1916 Touring
So far I have
replaced all four coils with rebuilt wooden cased originals which work
excellent. I have tested the new plugs for spark and all four have a strong
spark in the correct timing order, 1,2,4,3. The commentator has been removed
and cleaned.
I installed a Ford
The head was
removed and the tops of all pistons cleaned and seven of the eight valves
replaced with new valves. Although this T has been stored for several years the
engine turns freely. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get the engine to
run! I guess it’s just due to my inexperience with Model T’s. Those who are
have told me the timing is somehow off and possibly 180 degrees out. Hopefully
someone with more experience can get this nice Brass T up and going.
I do believe the
transmission is in good condition. While attempting to start the engine we
towed it around a large lot and both low and high gears turned the engine over
with no problem the brake band worked so good it caused the rear wheels to
skid!!
Although the body
needs restoration work, all three doors close and latch. It appears some items
have been added somewhere in the past. I don’t believe a 16 had a dash and I’m
not sure about the electric lights and generator. I did not notice any leaks in
the cooling system. I do have a very nice brass radiator for this era Model T
available separately but not included in this auction. If interested, I will
send pictures.
I have posted the
maximum pictures allowed by ebay but will be happy to send more upon request.
So, here’s a
chance for someone to own one of the rare Brass Era T’s. I have started the
bidding at the amount I have invested. Not trying to make a big profit here, I
just think it should go to someone who has more experience and desire to take
it to the next level. I need to make more room to finish several Model A
projects, so this Model T needs a new home!
I have not had the
car titled so it will be sold with a “Bill of Sale” only . You are welcome to come to “as is” wilt no
warranty! For your convenience, once paid in full I can store it for a short
period of time, however it will be outside under tarps.
Buyer will be
responsible for pickup or delivery.
A $500.00 deposit
via PayPal must be posted within 48 hours of auction close and the balance via
cashier’s check within seven day.
I will be happy to
answer any questions to the best of my ability and send any other pictures
requested.
NO RESERVE!
Serious bidders
only PLEASE!
Thanks for
looking! |

MotorWeek remembers pre-EcoBoost Ford with the Thunderbird TurboCoupe
Thu, Feb 26 2015Sometimes it feels great to embrace nostalgia for a trip down memory lane, and MotorWeek indulges that occasional desire with its regular Retro Review series. This time, the long-lived show goes back to the '80s to check out two of the top performance vehicles in the Ford lineup at the time – the 1987 Thunderbird TurboCoupe and Mustang GT. Both models had just received thorough refreshes after several years on the market. Long before an EcoBoost badge ever met its models, Ford made early forays into experimenting with turbocharging on vehicles like the T-Bird TurboCoupe. Based on MotorWeek's assessment, the company was on the right track. The boosted 2.3-liter four-cylinder was apparently a bit coarse but offered 190 horsepower with little turbo lag, compared to 155 hp the year before. The Mustang GT is likely the more-fondly remembered of these performance Fords today and provides an interesting point of comparison against the TurboCoupe. MotorWeek found some faults with the 'Stang, though. While it was quick for the time with a sprint to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, the 'car was described as "a nose-heavy beast" for its handling. And for a look at Ford's future in turbocharging – the GT will have an EcoBoost powerplant – check out our Related Video:
Check out Ford's fully automated self-parking car [w/video]
Wed, 09 Oct 2013As automakers continue to find uses for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology, Ford of Europe has announced that it is developing a self-parking system for future use. More advanced than the Active Park Assist already offered in many Ford products, the new Fully Assisted Parking Aid can take full control of the vehicle and can navigate angled and perpendicular parking spots.
While today's Active Park Assist can only parallel park with the driver controlling the gas, brake and gear selection, Fully Assisted Parking Aid can operate steering, gas, brake and gear selection all while making sure the car is properly parked in the intended space. As with APA, the driver pushes a button to make the car look for a proper spot (at speeds of up to 18 miles per hour), and when an adequate space is located, the operator pushes another button (either inside the car or outside via remote control) for the car to park itself - the button must be pressed throughout the whole parking maneuver. Even though Ford says that the car can effect gear selections on its own, the system must still start from Neutral, and the automaker isn't saying whether the car can put itself into Park when done or put itself in Drive when the operator is ready to go.
Ford is also taking the opportunity to announce its new Obstacle Avoidance technology. This automated system is able to detect objects - including pedestrians - in the road, warn drivers of said objects and, if needed, stop and steer automatically to avoid hitting the obstacle. Both systems are still in the prototype phase, so there is no word as to when we could see either on a production vehicle.
Top Gear season 25 opens with a V8 roadtrip through America
Mon, Feb 26 2018Great news for fans of BBC Top Gear: the first episode of season 25 is here. Viewers of BBC America will catch the season opener on March 3, and for the American audience this episode is definitely suitable watching. The episode has been dedicated to V8 sportscars almost in its entirety, as it's been wrapped around a Western roadtrip with a motorsport bias. The three hosts get to choose three V8 sports cars, with the basic idea of finding the best all-rounder. Matt LeBlanc goes for a Hennessey-tuned GT350R, Rory Reid chooses a Jaguar F-Type SVR, and Chris Harris shakes up the pack by selecting a McLaren 570GT. It's a nicely varied trio, with V8 power still showing what it's good for. There are various challenges along the way, just like there should be on a Top Gear roadtrip episode – even if the road surface itself isn't always ideal. But things smoothen out, all the way to a NASCAR oval and an airport runway; the flooded Bonneville salt flats aren't suitable for shenanigans, so substitutes have to be found. The trio also hit dirt roads, and have to evade a buggy-driving Ken Block during a "moonshine run to the border." Fans of Sabine Schmitz will be pleased to find her piloting a chain car racer, which consists of two American junk cars with a Honda CRX chained in the middle. It must make sense to someone. The Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment has been retained for this season. This time it's the British actor Rob Brydon driving the Toyota GT86, on a very wet lap around the show's Dunsfold Aerodrome track that must be a cult classic by now. All in all, the season 25 opener is exactly what it says on the tin. There's nothing out of the ordinary, but it still has excellent cinematography, V8 roar and some nice landscapes. Classic Top Gear. Cowboy duels, Sabine Schmitz chain car racing, @RobBrydon, a @kblock43 car chase and #TheStig The latest episode of #TopGear is available on @BBCiPlayer now. Outside the UK?
