1916 Brass Era Model T Ford Touring No Reserve on 2040-cars
Year:1916
Mileage:0
Location:
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! |

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R-C set to storm Watkins Glen
Wed, Jun 24 2015Ford is bringing its latest high-performance Mustang back to the track with the new 2016 GT350R-C, which will debut and race in this weekend's IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge race at Watkins Glen. The spiritual successor to the Boss 302R that's still taking part in the Continental Tire series today, the first GT350R-C will be campaigned by Multimatic Motorsports. It's had its fully independent suspension completely revised for the track, and it gets everything from new spring rates to new anti-roll bars to a lowered ride height. Like the road-going GT350, a 5.2-liter, flat-plane-crank V8 sits under the hood, although Ford didn't release any specifics on power output. In fact, details are in short supply. We're expecting some sort of sequential racing transmission, wildly enhanced brakes, and a thoroughly race-prepared cabin, although Ford hasn't released any info on that stuff. The Blue Oval also hasn't said anything about the aerodynamic package, but strangely, it looks more or less like what's featured on the standard GT350R. The front fascia and rear wing are pretty much identical, and even the side sills seem roughly similar to the production model. "Like so many Mustangs before it, the Shelby GT350R is a car born to race," Ford's director of global performance, Dave Pericak, said in the attached press release. "We're taking it to the track as the GT350R-C and we're ready to see what it can do against the best competition in the world." Scroll down for the official press release from Ford. And if you're so inclined, you can check out the GT350R-C's debut race this weekend at IMSA.com, with coverage starting at 12:25 P.M. If you prefer normal TV, Fox Sports 1 will get around to re-broadcasting the race on July 5 at 10:00 A.M.
