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 starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
Ford board pushing Mulally for decision amidst fears story is drowning out other news
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Automakers and their executives rarely like to divulge information regarding future goings on, but the board of directors at Ford sound like they're getting a little antsy about chief executive officer Alan Mulally and his plans for 2014.
According to Reuters, as news of Mulally's possible departure to Microsoft continues to swirl, Ford's board is looking to push the affable executive to make a decision about his future sooner rather than later. Apparently, the board is growing concerned that this will-he/won't-he drama may end up distracting the media from covering Ford's other big news events next year - items like the debut of key all-new products like the Mustang and F-150.
So far, the picture for Mulally's eventual successor remains fuzzy, but it's understood that the leading candidate remains the company's chief operating officer, Mark Fields. Just recently, we heard that Mulally will stay until the end of 2014, but a few months ago, Ford seemed open to the idea of him stepping down earlier than that.
