This is an all original 1927 Ford Model T. It has the original black paint which has many chips, nicks and dings, but it is original and still shines better than some new cars. It has the original interior which does have some stains and a few spots the material has worn through where the driver sits, but it is original and complete. It has the original motor which starts easily and runs great and doesn't smoke. It was rebuilt by Ford sometime in the 40's, but it is the original, numbers matching motor. It has a new wiring harness, but it also comes with the original. It has a new fan belt and a new intake gasket, but they both look aged and correct. It has all new tires and tubes including the spare and they almost no mileage on them, they are mounted on the original wood spoke wheels..It has a new Optima red top battery and an after market battery shut off for safety. It is truly an amazing piece of history, which is in amazing shape. The car spent it's entire life in Texas so it is extremely solid. It has the original wood floors which are rot free and there are no rust holes, just some surface rust. It is equipped with an extremely rare "locking steering wheel" by Seng from 1927. The wheel has the original key, which unlocks the steering wheel so you can't steer. It is a very neat accessory from when the car was new and it works perfectly today. The wheel also has a horn ring on it but the 2 wires are frayed on it causing it to not work, but it has a newer push button which operates the horn. The visor has been recovered in period correct material, but the top is all original with the exception of an old patch. The lights all work including the interior map light, the horn works as well. Everything works great. The windows roll up and down with no problems. The doors open and close without any sagging or squeaks. The car was stored away properly where it was safe and dry for around 40 year, and was only recently pulled out properly as well so nothing was damaged and everything works.

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out
Wed, 11 Dec 2013With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.
2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.
Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
