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. 
I have 1 bike and about 7 or 8 other antique cars and trucks, if interested in getting more than 1, I will combine the
enclosed shipping for the same rate. 
I can fit 2 cars or trucks and 1 bike into a single load, 3 max. 
Call, email or text with any questions. 
thx.

1969 Ford GT40 Mk III found roaming the halls in Geneva

Wed, Mar 4 2015

The halls of the 2015 Geneva Motor Show are filled with all manner of exotic racing machinery, from the likes Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus to McLaren. But there's one peculiar bit of history tucked away that we thought you'd be equally interested to see: a 1969 Ford GT40 Mk III. One of only seven known to be built, this Mk III coupe was intended as a road-going alternative to earlier racing-bred GT40 models, like the original Mk I and 427-cubic-inch, Le Mans-dominating Mk II. Due to its street-legal intentions, the Ford GT40 Mk III boasted revised bodywork that allowed for some luggage and new headlights, along with a redesigned interior with left-hand-drive and a shifter in the normal, center position. The Mk III wasn't very popular when it was new in the 1960s, in part because it looked different from other GT40 models and because it was pretty expensive, but that just means it's an awfully rare gem today. Take a look at the piece of history in our high-res image gallery above.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

UK's Loughborough University improving Ford's 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine

Wed, May 21 2014

How much does it cost for college students to study zero emissions vehicles? At Loughborough University in the UK, a new Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) is being built at a cost of a billion pounds ($1.7 billion US). The school has just announce that it will fund a number of grad student positions and is creating a new Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, which sounds like a fun job to us. We're weird like that. There will be a total of four professor-type positions in the new Center, including the chair, all focused on teaching students about low-carbon vehicle technologies, specifically electric and hybrid ones. The school is investing 1.5 million pounds ($2.5 million) for the new positions. There is a bigger picture as well, a 26-million pound ($44 million) Advanced Combustion Turbocharged Integrated Variable-valvetrain Engine (ACTIVE) project, which uses funds not only from the school but also from Ford and others. The point of ACTIVE is to study Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine and "improve further its efficiency and ensure it exceeds 2020 emission regulations." This is already a popular engine for the automaker, and it will need to stay at the bleeding edge of efficiency to remain as important in 2020 as it is today. Loughborough University has been working with automakers on advanced energy technologies for years, for example with Rolls-Royce and fuel cells in 2007 and the Lotus Hotfire engine in 2008. University invests GBP1.5M in advanced propulsion research to advance zero emissions vehicles challenge Loughborough University is investing GBP1.5M over five years in strategic research appointments, inspired by the global challenge to develop the new advanced propulsion technologies required for the move to zero emission vehicles. These appointments reinforce the University's world-class research in low-carbon vehicle technologies, adding new dimensions concerned with electric and hybrid drives. Four appointments will be made, including a Chair in Advanced Propulsion Systems, supported by a number of PhD studentships. The GBP1.5M investment is part of the University's commitment to the recently announced Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) to support the development of new supply chains for low carbon vehicles. APC is an initiative established by the Automotive Council that will see GBP1 billion of investment from government and industry over the next 10 years.
