1926 FORD MODEL T CONVERTIBLE ROADSTER 

I AM FORCED TO SELL DUE TO FINANCIAL REASON THIS CAR IS BEING 
LISTED AT $1 NO RESERVE 
HIGHEST BIDDER WILL TAKE HER HOME 

I will include shipping anywhere in the continental USA for a flat rate of $650 on top of your winning bid! This will take the guessing game out of figuring out shipping cost, if shipping ends up costing me more than the $650 it will be included with you bid you don't pay any extra! $650 delivered if you want it! If you prefer to pick it up only pay your winning bid.

This is one of my favorite cars in my collection.  Unfortunately I am in a spot now where I need to sell her to free up some cash for personal reasons.  If I didn't not have to I would keep this car forever! I really do not want to sell it. Someone will be getting a excellent classic car that would never be for sale and remain in my private collection otherwise. If it does not sell now I will never let her go again.  Please not the pictures at the bottom of the page were taken during the restoration and do not reflect the cars current state they are included so you know exactly what you are buying.

Too many people turn these into hot rods, Don't get me wrong I like a nice hot rod as much as the next guy I owned a few myself. However here is no comparison you just don't get the same feeling driving a nice restored classic car as you do the hot rod.  Original style Model T's are getting harder and harder to find every year and  the prices keep going up that's another reason I didn't want to sell. 

  • She has been restored 
  • Upgraded from 6 volt to 12 volt with modern alternator
  • Electric and crank start
  • Real 1926 Ford Model T not a kit or reproduction

  • 2 Speed Manual Transmission
  • 4 cylinder 2.9L Engine no hot rod here! Top speed about 45 mph
  • Mechanically sound Everything works, starts, stops, runs, shifts just like it is supposed to
  • I am told it will run off of other fuel sources like kerosene and ethanol but i have never tested it I have only used gasoline.
  • Spoke Wire wheels (much better ride quality than the wood spoke)
If your not used to driving a classic vintage car like this will take some getting used to has 4 pedals so not like your average car but that is all part of the experience of owning and driving a beautiful vehicle like this one. There are plenty of how to videos on you tube to give you a crash course in how to operate a car like this.  She is such a pleasure to take out on a weekend ride.  Me and my wife love taking it out to breakfast on Sundays in the summer time. 

This car has not seen rain snow or anything but sunny warm weather since I have owned it.  The rest of time she is stored in my own little private "museum" I call it. Where I have a mechanic come to maintain all of my collection.

She is in unbelievable condition for a car that is nearing 100 years old! I welcome and encourage you to come see the car before placing your bid.  I also have about 150 pictures I could not post them all if there is anything else you would like to see just ask me.

Bosch fined $57.8 million by DOJ for price fixing and bid rigging

Tue, Mar 31 2015

The US Department of Justice has been investigating bid rigging and price fixing among automotive parts suppliers for years, and so far the agency has leveled nearly $2.5 billion in fines against 34 companies. The latest business to be caught in this ongoing crackdown is Germany's Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), the world's largest independent auto component maker, and it agrees to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine to the Feds. According to the DOJ, Bosch has agreed to plead guilty to pricing fixing and bid rigging for spark plugs and oxygen sensors supplied to the former DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors. The rigging is said to have occurred between January 2000 and July 2011. Bosch also allegedly played foul with starter motors sold to Volkswagen from January 2009 until at least June 2010. Bosch and other companies allegedly conspired on the pricing for bids to submit to automakers, and sold the parts at noncompetitive prices. The DOJ filed a one-count felony charge in US District Court for these actions. The company's plea is still subject to court approval, though. Bosch is only the third European company to be charged in this investigation, according to the DOJ. So far, many of the fined businesses have been from Japan, including Takata, NGK and others. Some execs have claimed price-fixing has been the standard operating procedure in the auto parts industry for a long time. Robert Bosch GmbH Agrees to Plead Guilty to Price Fixing and Bid Rigging on Automobile Parts Installed in U.S. Cars Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's largest independent parts supplier to the automotive industry, based in Gerlingen, Germany, has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for spark plugs, oxygen sensors and starter motors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere, the Department of Justice announced today. According to the one-count felony charge filed today in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan, Bosch conspired to allocate the supply of, rig bids for, and to fix, stabilize and maintain the prices of, spark plugs and oxygen sensors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers such as DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company and Andreas Stihl AG & Co., among others, in the United States and elsewhere.

2014 Ford Cobra Jet announced with new colors, parachute mount

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Ford's drag-strip-ready Mustang Cobra Jet is back for 2014, and it's sporting a few changes to make it even better - both in competition and while sitting still. Rolling off the assembly line ready for duty in the NHRA Stock or Super Stock classes, production of the 2014 Cobra Jet is limited to just 50 units.
Racing upgrades for 2014 include the addition of a new three-speed transmission and a parachute mount, and while these will make the car better in the quarter mile, the Cobra Jet's new colors will make it look better tearing down the track. Buyers can now get their racecars painted up in Gotta Have-It Green or a custom, Cobra Jet-exclusive matte black hue. Ford and Ford Racing have already teamed up to make this an incredible factory drag racer with a full rollcage, massive Hoosier slicks, a race-tuned suspension setup and a supercharged 5.0-liter V8. Now, if only wheelie bars came standard...
Unlike the confusing third-party ordering system announced for the COPO Camaro, all you need to snatch up a 2014 Cobra Jet is $97,990 and good timing (as the cars will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis). Ordering opens up next month with production commencing in July. Check out the press release below.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout

Tue, Nov 25 2014

Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.
