Oswego, Illinois, United States

This 1927 Ford Model T in its final year of production- has everything! This car is a solid Touring Car and has all the pricey upgrades that serious T-drivers want and need. This car was a frame-off  restoration in the 60’s and again in the last few years (2007-2013)  so she is fully ready for more driving pleasure.  Has a clear Illinois title and here are its features- there are a bunch:

 

-newer & interior -high compression head    -new Kevlar trans bands

-new 3-speed Warford auxillary transmission    -new Rocky Mountain brakes

-new Brassworks radiator    -newer tires & tubes    -accessory Ford bumpers

-new wiring   -duel taillights   -brake activated “stop” light   -working turn signals

-new timer   -new side curtain- FULL SET,  including gypsy curtains  -speedometer installed   -dash light

-all new fluids   -new hoses & motormeter   - new plugs and wires  -waterproof coilbox

-new rebuilt tested coils  -adjusted original aoogah horn   -new engine gaskets

-engine was re-freshed and maybe rebuilt   -rear end rebuilt and new oil

-stainless muffler and custom pipe   -new steering stabilizer   -rear brass rug rail

-running board tool box    -running board luggage rack    -new rubber pedal covers

-new NH carburetor and fuel line      -new ammeter   -new starter & rebuilt generator

-new fan belt    -new aluminum belt pulley  -new battery cut-out system for safety  

-safety glass  -Ford manual & original  jack  -LED sidelamps for extra safety at night    and more….

 

There’s probably more but I can’t remember it all. The car starts right up, runs well and is powerful, the brakes grab well and the Warford shifts smoothly and makes running at 40+ mph a treat and keeps the engine quiet & cool at higher speeds. The paint was done in the late 60’s and has all the normal nicks and dings of a driving car- has a few spots where it bubbled from bad adhesion- see pics, but still looks great overall. You can keep up with traffic in this car and stop easily, all of which make driving this car a safe joy. Please ask any questions prior to bidding- I am happy to help load the car if needed. $200 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours and balance is due before pick-up. I accept a bank-to-bank wire transfer for our safety, or cash in person, but any other arrangements need to be discussed. Email me with questions, anteekguy97@aol.com. Car is 45 minutes west of Chicago and is always stored indoors.

I added a very short clip of the car driving, by my 13 year old taped it, and she giggled at the horn and shook the camera, but it is something: (copy and paste into browser) http://youtu.be/mKnQ88D6J3E

To answer a few questions:

The Warford auxillary transmission offers a few handy benefits for Model T's: it gives a real neutral and completely disconnects the drive-line, and it has an under-drive, a direct-drive and an over-drive option. The overdrive allows the engine to stay quiet and cool at higher speeds and allows comfortable cruising at 35-45 mph, direct-drive is normal Model T speed and under-drive is a safe and slow pace.

I'll accept a bank cashier's check as long as there is ample time for it to clear both financial institutions. Thanks for asking!

NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights

Sat, Aug 15 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
