Barn Fresh Unrestored Complete Original Touring Convertible Survivor 23 24 26 27 on 2040-cars
Middletown, Ohio, United States

Up for sale is this incredible 1925 Ford Model T Touring convertible. It has been stored in a climate controlled building for over 47 years! It was parked in the back corner of a pole barn. It had a nice Model A Woody parked next to it. Not a bad room-mate! It is completely original and has never had any sort of restoration. This car has only had 2 owners until I purchased it a few weeks ago. The gentleman I bought it from is a retired Ford employee who has owned and cared for numerous show winning Fords. He was also a Model B mechanic for the US Military and served in the Korean War. His passion for early Fords is very visible with this Model T. Him and his wife drove and showed this vehicle in the early 60s throughout southern Ohio. It got parked in the fall of 1967 and was never pulled out of his garage again until the end of August, 2014. I have made no attempt to start or drive this car. I haven't even washed it. It is in true "barn find" condition! There is evidence that some sort of tune-up or mechanical work had been started and not finished. There are some un-hooked wires and lose bolts under the hood. The cooling fan and belt were also removed and the lower radiator hose disconnected. I asked the previous owner if he could remember why it was parked or what was being done to it and he could not recall (He's 84 and has 12 vehicles to keep tabs on...) The interior of the car is amazing. I could not find one tear or blemish on either seat. The floors and door panels are also very nice with little wear. I was told the top is original and has no tears that I could find. It folded down and back up with ease. Stashed in the back seat was the boot and straps for the top, and a full set of side curtains that are in equally amazing condition considering their age. All doors open and shut like they are new. No sagging, etc. All the pedals, and column levers move freely with no binding. Steering works as it should. The original Ford script key and leather key pouch are still in the ignition that turns/operates as it should. The windshield and side/rear mirrors are all in excellent shape with no visible cracks. I believe the windshield is just dirty, not permanently hazy. ( I used my finger to draw a "T" on the drivers side lower portion and it came right off.) All the tires hold air. The original hand crank, and crank strap are still present along with the rear spare wheel/tire. Both cowl lanterns are in excellent shape. The wicks still adjust as they should. The suspension looks complete and functional but obviously no road testing has been done to verify that. The body is very solid. The only evidence of any sort of rust is on the drivers rear lower corner (see pic) The paint is original and has scratches and dings here and there but is very presentable for an unrestored car of this age. There are no hood latches on the car currently but there was a parts bag from early Ford laying on the floor that has a nice original set of latches that will come with the car. There are other misc parts included. There is even the original jack assembly and Ford script tool set. Please refer to pictures for parts, accessories included. I've been building and restoring classic cars for quite some time and I have never seen a survivor/barn car in this condition. I honestly feel that with a good bath, a mechanical tune-up and some TLC this would make an absolutely amazing ORIGINAL early Ford. These unrestored original cars are getting harder and harder to find, let alone in this condition. I've been as honest and straight forward as I can be with this car. If you have any questions at all or would like more detailed pictures of anything, please do not hesitate to ask. I have a clear Ohio title in my name. The car is located in Liberty Township, Ohio, approx. 25 miles north of Cincinnati, Ohio. I will deal with overseas buyers. Buyer is responsible for any/all shipping and transportation of the vehicle. I am available to help your carrier or you load. The car WILL NOT leave my barn until all payments have been made or cleared at the bank. Zero feedback bids will be cancelled. A $500 deposit is due within 48hrs of the auction ending. Please note that I will be out of town 9-10-14 thru 9-14-14 and again on 9-23-14 thru 10-2-14. I would really like car picked up between 9-14-14 thru 9-23-14 if possible. |

Weekly Recap: 2016 CTS-V gives Cadillac new momentum for the new year
Sat, Dec 27 2014It's been a rough year for Cadillac. The historic luxury carmaker been in the news for all of the wrong reasons: Declining sales, ditching its advertising agency and the relocation of its headquarters from Detroit to New York. But in late December, Cadillac reminded everyone what it does best: Build some of the rawest and most compelling luxury sedans in the world, as evidenced by the 2016 CTS-V. This monster churns out 640 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. Sound familiar? That's the Corvette Z06 engine, and it makes this CTS the most powerful production Cadillac ever. It also puts the sporting divisions of the Germans on notice. The new CTS-V easily overpowers the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S 4Matic and its 5.5-liter biturbo V8 rated at 577 hp, and the BMW M5 (with the competition pack) and its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that pushes out 575 hp. The rear-wheel drive Cadillac can sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds, which is close to the 3.5-second time turned in by the 4Matic-driven E63 S, and a bit quicker than the 4.1 seconds posted by the M5. With Magnetic Ride Control, General Motors' stout eight-speed automatic transmission (also used in the Corvette), Brembo brakes and a carbon-fiber option package that pretty much builds your car out of carbon fiber – it's clear this Cadillac means business. Truth be told, we expected this CTS-V to deliver. It's been a serious sports sedan for a decade, and the recent generation and its 556-hp arrogance have been particularly memorable. But notice what we're doing here? We're talking about product. Not who makes Cadillac's ads, or if the brand's headquarters has a mailing address in NYC. Like the 2016 ATS-V that's due in the spring, the debut of the 2016 CTS-V (on sale in late summer) is a shot in the arm for Cadillac, and its arrival comes during time of transition. The brand is trying to reinvent itself as a modern luxury maker. It wants new customers, a different image and obviously more sales. Those things are going to take time, but with a 640-hp sledgehammer of a sports sedan on tap for next year, Cadillac can still maintain some of its swagger through all of the change. Other News And Views 1984 Audi Sport Quattro heads for the auction block If you're into '80s rally cars, you're really a car person. But if you're into that stuff – and we are – this 1984 Audi Sport Quattro is sure to get your blood flowing.

This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.
