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! |

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC
Thu, 17 Apr 2014There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.
Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year
Mon, Jan 12 2015Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang – 204 points Hyundai Genesis – 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 – 297 points Chevrolet Colorado – 205 points Lincoln MKC – 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media – magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.
