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 Model NH carburetor that ran fine on my 1922 T. This carburetor appears to be exactly like the Holley Model NH, however the plate does say Ford instead of Holley. I have cleaned the excellent gas tank and verified good gas flow.

 

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 Augusta, GA. for inspection or I will be happy to show it to your representative who may live closer since it will be sold

“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!

‘American Auto’ fires on most cylinders

Tue, Dec 14 2021

If you like cars or you enjoyed “Superstore” then “American Auto” is worth your time. NBC previewed the punchy sitcom last night ahead of the series premiere Jan. 4, and it offers a humorous take on the U.S. auto industry as seen through the team at fictional Payne Motors. Overseen by Justin Spitzer, the creator of “Superstore” and a producer on “The Office,” the two episodes that dropped Monday show Payne executives trying to navigate the challenges of the modern auto business.  “Saturday Night Live” alum Ana Gasteyer stars as a pharmaceutical exec turned Payne CEO. The cast also includes Harriet Dyer as stressed-out PR boss, Sadie; Tye White as Jack, a factory worker who gets promoted to the C-suite; and former “Superstore” cast member Jon Barinholtz as the company scion, Wesley, who has no job responsibilities and is employed because of his name. The cast also includes X Mayo, Michael Benjamin Washington and Humphrey Ker as executives. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Autoblog -- thatÂ’s us -- gets name-checked early in the second episode (2:37 into the show) for "our" critical take on GasteyerÂ’s introduction of the Payne Ponderosa, a car the company scrambled to build in time for its auto show reveal.  GasteyerÂ’s CEO character walks in on a meeting between Sadie and Jack -- their budding romance appears to be part of the story arc -- and blurts out “Autoblog says hasty HastingsÂ’ premature launch,” apparently a reference to a headline that pans the Ponderosa. Looking at the cartoonish wagon-like thing, itÂ’s well-earned criticism. Perhaps the writers know of us -- weÂ’ve been around for nearly 18 years and are read by millions each month -- or thought ‘AutoblogÂ’ sounded like a good name for a car website. Either way. The pilot is centered on the Ponderosa and its troubled development (the first version of the car ran over people). Episode 2 features a Ponderosa Magellan van being used by a serial killer in a police chase. Titled “White Van,” the episode is obviously reminiscent of O.J. SimpsonÂ’s 1994 chase in a white Ford Bronco. ThereÂ’s also some Michigan references, which help to set the scene. One character has a Wayne State degree on the wall and the Magellan flees on Interstate 94, which runs through the state.

Production of Shelby GT350 is coming to an end

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

One Autoblog staffer who drove the limited-edition Shelby GT350 wrote it probably was the best Mustang he'd driven, but, at some point, the fun had to come to an end: December 31 is the last day the GT350 will be available to order.
The GT350's option list has evolved much like it did for the original 1965-67 GT350. For 2011, the 45th Anniversary edition only came in coupe form and was painted white with blue stripes, just as with the 1965 car. The 2012 GT350 was offered as a coupe or convertible, and three colors were added to the option list, just like the 1966 model. For 2013, more colors and options were added in addition to equipment and styling updates, which resulted in Wilwood instead of Baer brakes. No major changes were made for the 2014 model. From the first car in 2011, customers have been able to choose between three different configurations for their 5.0-liter V8: naturally aspirated with 440 horsepower, supercharged with 525 hp (with warranty) or supercharged with 624 hp (without warranty).
"When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value," states John Luft, president of Shelby American. He may have a point, because the original GT350, which also had a limited production run, is among the most valuable muscle cars in the world.

How Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra will take on the Ford F-150 profit machine

Fri, Aug 10 2018

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — When General Motors engineers were developing the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, some of them joined public tours of Ford's Dearborn, Mich., factory to watch aluminum-bodied F-Series trucks go down the assembly line. The redesign of the Ford F-Series trucks, launched in 2014, set a new standard for fuel economy and lightweight vehicle construction. But armed with stopwatches and trained eyes, the GM engineers believed they saw problems. "They had a real hard time getting those doors to fit," Tim Herrick, the executive chief engineer for GM truck programs, told Reuters. His team did more intelligence gathering. They bought and tore apart Ford F-Series doors sold as repair parts. Their conclusion: GM could cut weight in its trucks for a lower cost using doors made of a combination of aluminum and high-strength steel that could be thinner than standard steel, shaving off kilograms in the process. These pounds-and-pennies decisions will have major implications in the highest-stakes game going in Detroit: dominance in the world's most profitable vehicle market, the gasoline-fueled large pickup segment. What's more, GM is banking on strong sales of overhauled 2019 Silverados and GMC Sierras to fund its push into automated and electric vehicles — a business many investors see as the auto industry's long-term future. The risks are high given the hits automakers have taken from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies. Rising aluminum prices spurred by Trump's tariffs are driving up costs on the Ford's F-Series, while rising steel and aluminum prices likewise drag on GM results. GM also has a significant risk should the United States, Mexico and Canada fail to agree on a new NAFTA trade deal, given GM trucks built at its Silao, Mexico, factory could face a 25 percent tariff if NAFTA collapses. Major profit per truck Interviews with GM executives and a tour at its factory here in northwest Indiana provide a detailed look inside GM's plan for the most important vehicles in its global lineup. These big pickups are everything Tesla's Model 3 or Chevy's Bolt electric car is not. The mostly steel body is bolted to the truck's steel frame, rather than the one-piece body and frame electric vehicles. The majority of trucks will have a V-8 gasoline engine powering the rear wheels — like the classic GM cars of the 1950s. Some Silverados will have new four-cylinder engines, but there is no electric or hybrid offering as of now.
