THE TRUCK IS LOCATED IN CHATTANOOGA TN. FOR WHATEVER REASON, IT ISN'T SHOWING UP AS THE ITEM LOCATION THOUGH IT DOES IN THE PREVIEW. HOPE THIS HELPS.
. I have a 1922 Model T for sale. It has been disassembled for restoration. I bought a 26 that was already done, so I don't need this one any more. Here's the history: I am the third owner of the truck. Original owners had it in FL, it sold to the guy who sold it to me. It was in the same family for 99% of it's working life. It was originally a 22 coupe but in 1925, the family placed a factory Ford Truck bed on the frame. He took it apart to begin restoration. The engine has good compression, the wooden wheels are in good shape. Fenders are good but both need some welding work on the bottoms where they bolt to the frame. The original radiator and shroud are in good shape. Hood is in good shape as is the cowl and windshield frame. The cowl has had some rust and needs metal replaced on the drivers side at the bottom. other than that, it's solid. The cab itself isn't in good shape. I was just going to build a seat and leave it open. The gas tank is good, Truck bed needs some work but overall solid and the FORD tailgate is in pretty good shape as well. Again, the truck is taken apart. I want only what I paid for it, which is $3500. It should be a good candidate for a restoration and is a good solid truck. (or car if you want to rebuild it into a coupe and sell the truck bed) Thanks for looking |

Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
Ford Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.
Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
