1926 Model Tt Truck Closed Cab on 2040-cars
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States
This is a 1926 Model TT Truck. It's 88 years old. It is not perfect, but very cool for parades and such. It has a removable bench seat on the bead that can comfortably seat six to eight adults. It has a factory Ford Truck Bed that has had the wood replaced and also the rails. I have had the engine rebuild by a Model T Garage in Fayetteville NC. last fall 2013. I can give you $7000.00 +/- tickets for this work for your files. It has new babbit. .040 aluminum pistons, recharged magnets, new valves and more. I can give you the full breakdown if you wish, or the mechanic's number and he can tell you everything. It also has new Kevlar bands in the transmission. The magneto will put out near 38 volts. I have just installed $975 worth of tires and tubes last Christmas before our annual Christmas Parade. There are a few things that need fixing: It needs a new gas tank and gas line which is available for less than $300. The in line fuel filter I have installed gets hot and vapor locks and the truck cuts off. When it cools down, it runs like a champ again. It's generator is not charging and needs attention, It may be the cut out, it may be the brushes need adjusting, it may need to be rebuilt. It stopped working when we jumped it with 12 volts, because the brake light was left on and run the battery down, not to smart on my part. The new leather straps that I installed to let the door windows up and down need to be trimmed and finessed so they will work a little better. Over all, this truck is in pretty good shape for its age. I don't see any more than surface rust here and there, but you be the judge. It's a very cute truck that you can be proud of. The coils are wooden and have been checked and seem to be ok. It has a new 8 volt battery. I have a Clear North Carolina Title in hand. True mileage unknown. Engine has less than 50 miles. No speedometer but required to put something. Please contact me and come and look at the TT Truck before you buy it if you wish. It's located near Wrightsville Beach on the East Coast. On May-07-14 at 04:34:57 PDT, seller added the following information: This Truck does have an older paint job and I'm not sure know how old. It looks very presentable. I don't want to leave the impression that it is in it's original Henry Ford Paint. Please ask any questions and I will get back to you. If you need any additional photos, let me know what you need. |

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
