1927 Ford Model "T" Phaeton/Touring

May 26, 1927, Ford Motors halted production of the Model T and closed it assembly line for six months. Ford did not begin to sell cars again until October 20th, 1927. This meant in 1927 you could buy a Model "T" or a Model "A"titled as a 28. From January through May 1927, Only 221 Phaeton/Tourings were produced.Of the entire Model "T's" The 1927 Phaeton was the least produced T and production run ever for Ford. (Info from Ford Motor Company)

This T was originally restored as an all steal rig with a 4 popper, then in 1969 a 302, Balanced (C 8) 1968, (A) Full Size (M) Performance Vehicle, Holman Moody (6015 B) 302 CuIn became available. An automatic with a C-4 and 9" rear..
In the earl y 70's, 40 or so years ago. Poli Form, in California was familiar with this car and invested 150K to develop 12, 27 Phaeton tubs and fenders formed from this cars original body. (This is the thickest, strongest tub body ever produced – no longer made) They converted to the new Tub and fenders, maintaining the original frame, springs , added a new front end, discs on front, tilt steering and all the original 1927 hardware items. Through most of the next 20 years this car was in storage.
Since then, I’ve added a new dash, electrical system and more. 2013, All external parts on the engine, (dist., carb, ign.,alt. starter) where replaced new. {YES, IT has Originals Cragers, unblemished from the 70's}

Also included are side curtains, only for pattern purpose, frames are good , fabric is not. I will answer all questions, preferably by phone for serious buyers. Compared to other similiar rigs, without as many features that have sold from 28K-42K , my reserve is quite low giving the buyer plenty of room for modifications to their taste and and opportunity for a rare car to make their own and later a recieve a substantial profit.

This is a driver and there is minor work still to be done. What is left is to: Connect new installed gauges, lower firewall below steering column, and minor electrical connections.. Every thing to complete to show condition is included

Production Ford Escort heading for Beijing

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Ford's long-dormant Escort nameplate returned affixed to a sedan concept at last year's Shanghai Motor Show. While not exactly a beauty, it showed a clean, straightforward take on Ford's current styling. The Blue Oval said at the time that it wanted to create a model that was stylish "but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Job done. A year later, it looks like the minimalist vehicle might make its production debut at the Beijing Motor Show.
Autocar claims that the streetgoing version has been confirmed to it for the upcoming show, but so far, Ford isn't saying. If unveiled, the Escort is likely to be produced locally for the Chinese market with a domestic partner. Powertrain details remain a secret, but it seems highly likely that any production model would use a small three- or four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. Sales in other major world markets like ours are unlikely, but a test car was recently spotted in Europe.
Autoblog contacted Ford for confirmation, but the automaker demurred, with a spokesperson saying only, "At the moment, we are not confirming any vehicles planned for the show." It looks like we will have to wait to know for sure.

70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.

Ford Detroit stand map clearest evidence yet of new GT, Mustang GT350R, SVT Raptor

Fri, Jan 9 2015

An anonymous tipster has leaked a map of Ford's display stand plans for next week's Detroit Auto Show, and the schematic contains some interesting details that supports the idea of a Ford GT revival, as well as the presence of the rumored Shelby Mustang GT350R and F-150 SVT Raptor. The map, used by workers to help erect the Blue Oval's Cobo Hall display, maps out a show with a performance-heavy influence, with a codenamed vehicle, "Phoenix" sitting front and center, flanked by "Hummingbird 2" and "F-150 SVT Raptor Teaser." Our sources within Ford have confirmed that Phoenix is the long-rumored GT successor (a notion furthered by the presence of a pair of historic GT40s shown near the display entrance), and Hummingbird 2 refers to the GT350R (note also that there's a "Mustang Historic" GT350R on its own dais nearby). We've also learned that while the Raptor is labeled "Teaser," our Ford source assures us this is effectively the production truck. Rumors of a neo Ford GT have been picking up speed for months now, and we've been led to believe that this new car will have motorsports applications firmly on its mind, but it won't follow in the same retro-steeped design footsteps of its 2005-2006 forbearer. While the map does show Focus models on display, including the performance-oriented ST, we note that there isn't a spot seemingly earmarked for the rumored next-generation Focus RS, which has been the subject of the Motown rumormill for some time. Instead, we expect to see Ford's hottest hatch bow at the Geneva Motor Show in March. Even without a Focus RS revival, the Ford stand is shaping up to be a high-performance, high-horsepower showing, and we're excited to see if the Blue Oval can steal the show come Monday.
