40+ Photos of this 1923 Ford Model T 3 Door Touring (on Photobucket)

NOTE:  When reviewing the photos, please be aware that many of the photos were shot while I had the car on display at a local Ford dealership. It is now in my garage, and I can send you pictures of any angle or specific place on the car. (also, if I don't have all of the photos uploaded at the beginning of the auction, they'll be on by Sunday, Nov 10th).

HISTORY:  I purchased this car 6 or 7 years ago, from a well regarded Michigan dealer.  They had acquired it from the original builder (who worked for a top quality East Coast rod shop) - they had put on over 9,000 miles in only a few years, taking it to a number of East Coast shows.  The car was certainly built to be driven, and it was!  However, if you want a car that has not been seen by everybody - it is UNKNOWN on the West Coast!  I have only taken to 3-4 small local shows, and driven it in a few parades.  It's never been to a Good-Guys or NSRA show west of the Rockies......but it can drive to any one of them if you wanted.  I have 18 cars, and I've come to accept that it is time to start thinning the herd.  And it's time for someone else to enjoy her and show her off.

TITLE:  Clear, California title (as a 1923 Ford), in my name.  Currently registered and insured.  If you are a sincere buyer, you can call me at 805- three nine one -0509 (cell), or email me directly at hotrodranch@live.com.  I am happy to answer questions about this car, or any of my other cars that will be going up for sale soon also.  I only request that you ask questions BEFORE you bid!

DONATION:  I have planned that 5% of this sale will go to one of my favorite charities - Focus on the Family.  If you have an alternative ministry that you would like to donate to, call me to review how we can donate in your name instead!  It's just my way of giving back!

Big electric trucks won't save the planet, says the NYT

Tue, Feb 21 2023

When The New York Times decides that an issue is an issue, be prepared to read about it at length. Rarely will a week passes these days when the esteemed news organization doesn’t examine the realities, myths and alleged benefits and drawbacks of electric vehicles, and even The Atlantic joins in sometimes. That revolution, marked by changes in manufacturing, consumer habits and social “consciousness,” may in fact be upon us. Or it may not. Nonetheless, the newspaper appears committed to presenting to the public these pros and cons. In this recently published article titled, “Just How Good for the Planet Is That Big Electric Pickup Truck?”—wow, thatÂ’s a mouthful — the Times focuses on the “bigness” of the current and pending crop of EVs, and how that impacts or will impact the environment and road safety. This is not what news organizations these days are fond of calling “breaking news.” In October, we pointed to an essay in The Atlantic that covered pretty much the same ground, and focused on the Hummer as one particular villain, In the paper and online on Feb. 18, the Times' Elana Shao observes how “swapping a gas pickup truck for a similar electric one can produce significant emissions savings.” She goes on: “Take the Ford F-150 pickup truck compared with the electric F-150 Lightning. The electric versions are responsible for up to 50 percent less greenhouse gas emissions per mile.” But she right away flips the argument, noting the heavier electric pickup trucks “often require bigger batteries and more electricity to charge, so they end up being responsible for more emissions than other smaller EVs. Taking into consideration the life cycle emissions per mile, they end up just as polluting as some smaller gas-burning cars.” Certainly, itÂ’s been drummed into our heads that electric cars donÂ’t run on air and water but on electricity that costs money, and that the public will be dealing with “the shift toward electric SUVs, pickup trucks and crossover vehicles, with some analysts estimating that SUVs, pickup trucks and vans could make up 78 percent of vehicle sales by 2025." No-brainer alert: Big vehicles cost more to charge. And then thereÂ’s the safety question, which was cogently addressed in the Atlantic story. Here Shao reiterates data documenting the increased risks of injuries and deaths caused by larger, heavier vehicles.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014



A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.

Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
