Fresh Off Restore 1916 Brass Era Model T Truck Numbers Matching Car Block Also!! on 2040-cars
Algoma, Wisconsin, United States
|
For sale is my 1916 Brass Era Model T, fresh off a great
restore. This car is a great numbers matching car with not only
number matching but proof of this in the block date as well. Car started out in the early days as a roadster with a
farmer transforming it into a truck in the 30’s.
Story from the old gentleman I purchased it from is that in
the war area they were given gas rations in the order of 5 gallons if you had a car, 10 gallons if you were a
service member and 15 gallons if you were a Farmer and owned a truck.
This was the whole reason for purchasing the truck body from
the Cabinet co. from Des Plaines Illinois.
The number of the unit on a brass tag still on the bed of
the truck is number 167, a very early number as over 50,000 of these units were sold.
I purchased a brand new brass works radiator for this year
and no water pump is even needed In the warmest of summer days. I also put a battery box under it for starting power,
running the horns and street legal electric taillights in the oil lamps.
All 4 oil lamps are functional as oil lamps with just added wires and
reflectors and bulbs for street legal operation. Car runs best on magneto as there is no starter or
generator. Car starts easy on 1 or 2 cranks cold and less than that
warm. Headlights and one of the horns run on the magneto
also. Anyway, this is a great truck and has been completely
restored to the shape it was in at that time.
All metal fenders etc. and all wood stripped down, resealed
and varnished. Original Wood wheels were also taken down and sealed and
varnished also. This is a true find and would be a proud addition to any
person’s collection. I have entered this is many shows and always wins first in class and one best of show. Trophies do not go with the truck, Sorry. Since taking the photos I have added a drivers side rear oil lamp so both sides are matching in the back. Both oil lamps are functional but also have light lenses inside for a brake light & can easily be removed if you so choose. Also since pictures added a Ford Script for the back tailgate. Both are shown in the last photo. If needed, I can deliver for $1.50 per mile in an enclosed
trailer. Maximum 500 miles round trip. |

Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks
Fri, 19 Sep 2014It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.
Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start
Fri, 17 May 2013We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.
2015 F-150 launch to curb Ford profits?
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Ford is making a big bet on aluminum with its new 2015 F-150, and it's possible that the decision will hurt the company financially, at least in the short term. After earning a record $8.6 billion in 2013, the Blue Oval does not expect to set another record in 2014. According to Automotive News, that's "largely attributable to F Series," says Bob Shanks, Ford's Chief Financial Officer.
To retool for the new F-150, Ford will idle its Dearborn Truck Plant in Michigan for 11 weeks and the Ford Kansas City Assembly Plant in Missouri for 2 weeks. "3 of the 13 overall weeks occur during what normally is our summer shutdown timeframe," said Mike Levine, Ford Trucks Communication Manager, in an email to Autoblog. The extra 10 weeks will be preparing for the more aluminum-intensive construction for the trucks and will mean over 2 months of no F-150s being made. For comparison's sake, Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne just confirmed that the 200 plant in Sterling Heights, MI will be down for 30 days to retool for the new model, but obviously there are many more F-150 production variables than for the midsize sedan.
Levine notes that Ford is already running three shifts at both plants, and says the automaker has plans to ensure that there is adequate supply of the full-size pickups during the retooling process. The company does not want to suffer a shortage of the vehicle that accounted for 31-percent of its 2013 US sales and an even bigger percentage of its profits.
