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. |

Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.
Plug In 2014: ALTe ready to join Ford's EQVM to convert, sell F-150 PHEV [w/video]
Mon, Aug 4 2014It's been a while since we've checked in with ALTe and its plans to convert big work vehicles like the Ford F-150 into plug-in hybrids. So, when we saw a demonstration vehicle sitting outside the San Jose Convention Center at the Plug In 2014 Conference last week, we had to get a closer look. When we did, we realized that it's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. It's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. The reason for the well-worn F-150 with 30,000 miles on it is that ALTe has been showing off its extended-range EV technology to lots of people all around the country, and Kyle Maki has been the man on the scene more often than not. "This one, I've taken all over the country," he told AutoblogGreen. "I've wore out that seat, I think. The only reason this one wasn't driven here was because we were in Charlotte [NC] last week and I didn't want to take a chance and not make it in time for this event." In other words, ALTe is out there, ginning up excitement for the idea of a plug-in hybrid Ford with an electric range of up to 40 miles and which can then continue on gas for another 360 miles at around about 25 miles per gallon. ALTe wants to not only convert new vehicles but it also offers retrofits for fleets that are happy with their current fleet. The company offers converted versions of the Ford E350 and E450 utility vehicles now but the near-mythical F-150 PHEV is still "coming soon." Yes, orders are now being accepted, but you will be forgiven if you think this is all happening on a slow time scale. There are simply a lot of things to do before ALTe can sell the truck. ALTe is currently attempting to join Ford's EQVM program, which is the electric version of the standard Qualified Vehicle Modifiers program. The QVM program requires coachbuilders to "be successfully evaluated by Ford Motor Company on criteria such as engineering, the manufacturing process, quality control, and adherence to Ford and Lincoln Divisions guidelines." Qualified applicants must also meet all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, conform to Ford/Lincoln conversion guidelines and agree to be inspected annually as well as have a "commitment to continuous improvement." Maki has a simpler explanation. "It basically means you're a preferred supplier, a Tier 1, if you will," he said.
Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Mar 2013Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
