Up for bids is my 1926 Model T Ford Runabout. After some 25 years of restoring, judging, buying, selling and trading Model As, I started looking for an inexpensive, running, driving Model T just to learn more about what makes them “tick” and most important, how to drive one!

I guess you could call this a “barn find”, however I’m not the original “finder”. Someone before me made some improvements in order to get it running the most important of which were a new gas tank and apparently two new coils, spark plugs, etc.

Even with these repairs, it would start but ran rough so I made even more improvements. I replaced anther non-firing coil, the carburetor with a nice Kinston, battery and plug wires. I also rebuilt the starter bendix and installed a new right front outer wheel bearing. It now cranks fairly easy and runs and drives! I have been driving the T around a large lot and find the low and reverse gears to be acceptable. High gear also seems OK but I’ve only been able to use it sparingly due to the small area. I also feel some “grab” on the brake band but since the rear brake rods are missing, braking is somewhat unreliable! At present, I am only running the T on “battery”.

Rather than completely rewiring everything through the original ignition switch, I added another switch straight from the battery to the starter switch and on to the coils and generator. I’m not convinced the generator is working, but seems to keep the battery charged! Unfortunately, I can’t speak for the magneto since it is not wired into the system. I would imagine it is still in working order but might need some TLC.

One thing that impressed me was how complete this T is as far as original parts are concerned. Also, I’m impressed as to how straight and tight I find the body and fenders to be. As you can see in the pictures, it still has the original top irons! Since it is so complete, if it was a Model A I would not hesitate to do a complete restoration! The car also comes with two extra wheels, one with a rim and an extra “felloe” all in OK condition.

So, here she is! A great winter project for complete restoration or, some mechanical work for a fun “rat rod” or (as much as I hate to say it) a fantastic possible street rod body!

Why am I selling it? Well, not long after I bought the car a 1922 Model T Doctor’s coupe came available. I bought it! Now I have two Model Ts and storage for only one!

The car is located in Augusta, GA. And I strongly encourage anyone interested to visit for a test drive and inspection or send their representative. I’ll be more that happy to show the car, after all it will be sold “as is” “no warranty”!

Please contact me with any questions and I will be happy to supply answers to the best of my ability concerning Model Ts.

 

Buyer will be responsible for pick-up and/or delivery from Augusta, GA. 30907. I will be happy to assist in delivery within mileage limits.

 

A $500.00 deposit is required via PayPal or cashier’s check within 48 hours of auction close. Balance to be paid by cashier’s check within seven days of auction end.

 

This Model T is sold with “as is, no warranty” Bill of Sale only! No title!

 

Thanks for looking and please contact me with any questions!

Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]

Wed, 29 May 2013

Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too. Owners of the 2012-13 Focus and 2013 Focus ST can now get a Roush cold-air intake system, and ST owners can also opt for a high-performance cat-back exhaust.
Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.

Hennessey unleashes 2015 HPE700 supercharged Ford Mustang

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Thanks to the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat there is a new magic number in the muscle car world - 707. To raise eyebrows these days in the power war, a vehicle needs to match or preferably exceed that palindromic figure. The tuners over at Hennessey took a look at it for their 2015 HPE700 Mustang and decided to go one better. Well, ten actually, because they bestowed their latest creation with 717 horsepower and 632 pound-feet of torque.
The HPE 700 Mustang takes the standard Mustang GT with its 5.0-liter V8 and turns up the power a few hundred notches with a Roots-type supercharger running at 7.25 psi. Hennessey claims that this boosted 'Stang can rocket to 60 miles per hour in about 3.6 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 131 mph. For those keeping score at home, those figures are very similar to Challenger Hellcat.
To cope with all of the added boost, the engine gets a high-flow throttle body, upgraded injectors, new fuel pump, stainless steel exhaust and Hennessey's calibration for the engine management. Pricing for the package is $59,500, including the base 2015 Mustang GT, but the company is limiting production to 500 units for the 2015 model year. Founder John Hennessey told Autoblog that he has already received about a dozen orders for them.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
