1925 Ford Model T Roadster Gow Job Jalopy on 2040-cars
Waterford, Michigan, United States
|
This car was built specifically to run at the Race of Gentleman race in Wildwood, N.J. It is a very good rendition of a very early hot rod. The car started life out as a touring sedan. The body was cut in half and shortened to roadster dimensions. The back turtle deck is an original from a 1925 roadster. All wood was removed and steel was used in it's place. The door was also skinned with steel, opens and shuts excellent. The interior has a Ford Model A subframe attached to the body so I could run Model A style floorboards. The floorboards are birch plywood. A trimmed down 1930 Ford Model A instrument cluster was used on the stock T dash. The seats are plywood with foam and fake leather, pretty comfortable. The windshield was chopped down with safety glass used. One corner has a small crack. The body sits on a late Model A chassis. The frame rails were pinched in the back to follow the Model T turtledeck. Headlights and taillight are 1929 Ford. All the wiring is brand new and the lights work as they should. Front brakes were completely rebuilt, rears were not rebuilt but work just fine. Steering is from a 1930 Model A. The body was made to look as old as possible. I left many of the dents and dings in it. Paint was brushed on and then buffed down to show some of the primer/age. It has a really great look to it. Engine runs great, has a carter 6 volt electric pump connecting the oval T tank ( in the turtledeck) to the zenith carb. Radiator was custom made to fit the T grill shell. The shell is actually two that I cut in half and welded together so the bottom matches the top. There is no fan on this car, it runs on country roads at 180 degrees all day. If you drive it in traffic alot it will warm up so a fan would be needed for constant stop and go driving. There are a ton of things I am missing so please feel free to ask me any questions you have. This is a bare bones car, nothing special, nothing fancy. It has drips, it leaks a bit but it is a blast to drive. It was built to look like a survivor that was built in the early 30's. It gets looks wherever it goes. PLEASE NOTICE if you are a big guy, you probably won't fit in this car, it is small as model T's were. Please NOTE:The mileage is not correct as this car did not originally come with a odometer. It has a clear Michigan title in my name and it matches the number on the engine and is registered as a 1925 Ford Model T. Please do not bid if you do not want to buy this car. This car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek
Tue, 03 Dec 2013We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.
2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.
Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!
