This is a 1923 Ford Model T Coupe also known as an Opera Coupe or a Doctor's Coupe. The car is an excellent driver and is really fun to drive - it really runs great! It has an electric starter but also can be started by the front crank without a battery using the magneto. I have started it both ways but it has more power when driving with the battery. Has a new 6 volt battery and carburetor was cleaned and rebuilt. Car was in a heated garage for about 20-24 years and is original. I am a perfectionist so I think it could use a paint job since there is a good amount of cracking along the hood hinge (see pictures) and it also has a couple of nicks on the fenders (again, please see pictures). Tires are in very good condition with no crazing (spare has some cracks in it but is still fine). Doesn't leak any oil and transmission works great. This is an original car and could use some interior work -- some of the welting fabric is loose and frayed. The body is in great shape as far as no rust anywhere -- all the steel is solid! Window regulators work but the passenger regulator slips. Car also has some options on the dash -- a wind up clock (needs work possibly) and an old APCO air freshener from the 1920's. Radiator is great - no leaks. Also of interest is the locking mechanism on the steering wheel -- believe this was an option not added by Ford but I am not 100% positive. Headlamps are electric but lights near cowl have kerosene wicks in them. Please feel free to ask any questions -- I am more familiar with the Model A's than the Model T but I have enjoyed driving this car -- it starts instantly and is a load of fun to drive once you get used to it!!! Selling because I need to make room in garage for another Model A. I've tried to provide the good and the bad in my description but again, if you have any additional questions or would even like to see a video of the car running/driving, please let me know and I'll be glad to send. I have a bill of sale but title is long gone - god knows what happened to it! Also of particular note, there is a brass plate on the passenger sill indicating the car was originally purchased from Burnett and Sherman Ford Lincoln Dealership in Boston, Massachusetts. Car is available for pickup in Kensington, CT. l

Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.
Ford C-Max Commercial Brings Cadillac 'Poolside' Ad Down To Earth
Thu, Mar 27 2014If we had tried to predict the first video response to the controversial Poolside video for the Cadillac ELR, we would not have thought it would center on compost. But, hey, it's always nice to be reminded that the real world is sometimes better than fiction. Instead of the chic swagger of 'Poolside,' 'Anything Is Possible' is all about getting dirty. The new short in question is called Upside: Anything Is Possible and it promotes two things: Detroit Dirt and the Ford C-Max Energi. As in the ELR ad, Ford's plug-in C-Max only makes an appearance at the tail end of the spot, but instead of the chic swagger of Poolside, Anything Is Possible is all about getting dirty. The ad stars Pashon Murray, co-founder of Detroit Dirt, which takes natural waste from around Detroit, composts it into soil and then spreads that around "forgotten parcels" of Detroit to create urban farms. Detroit Dirt gets its bio-waste from a lot of sources, including the Detroit Zoological Society (all that herbivore manure has to go somewhere), Ford and General Motors, but this particular ad was the idea of Ford's PR agency, Team Detroit. It was a frenetic shoot, filmed with an LA-based director right after a big winter storm blew through Detroit, and Murray couldn't be happier with the result. "This was Ford Motor Company pushing my story, letting me tell the story that I believe in," Murray tells AutoblogGreen. "I get to help push this car and I get to tell my story." She says that the Team Detroit and Ford had to agree on the message, "from my understanding, [YouTube] is where they wanted to start, not where they wanted to finish." The ad is already getting a positive response on Twitter, so we won't be surprised if it shows up in more places soon. "It's not saying Ford is better than GM. It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." As Detroit Dirt has off-screen support from both GM and Ford, it's unsurprising to hear Murray say that the video "is not a rivalry thing." She notes that the ad agency Team Detroit came to her and offered to tell the Detroit Dirt story using the framework of the GM ad. "It's a parody on this commercial, but it's not saying Ford is better than GM," she said. "It's telling the story of a black woman who's working hard in Detroit." What is that story? It's about urban farming, recovery and recycling. Murray tells us that for the last seven or eight years, she's been dedicated to sustainability.
Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013
The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.
