Model T Ford Touring With Many Options Set Up For Long Tours on 2040-cars
Mishawaka, Indiana, United States
|
One of the Best Model T's I have owned. The prior owner did a
great deal of work on this car. He and his wife drove it on tours of Pikes peak, the Rocky Mountains, Canada the far West and East , Midwest on many Model T tours. Attached is a YouTube video I made showing Model T accessories with more pictures of the car for sale If the car does not sell I am open to offers following the end of the auction I can store the car in dry storage for 30 days no cost and then further storage at my cost of $ 60 a month until pick up I have helped ship cars to Europe I do guarantee the car is as described a good running operational car. I ENCOURAGE inspections either by the buyer or a third party Here is a list of options that add quality and value to the car. Later I will note all the DEFECTS as no car is perfect and I keep my reputation high by being very honest. No complaints selling many cars over 50 years . The Son of the West Ohio restorer reported that this car came in second at the Ford Museum annual Old Car Festival (some years ago) but lost out as it had a white interior Engine highly modified and powerful standard Model T block high compression head Model A high flow intake and exhaust Model A Carburetor Air filter electric fuel pump 2 glass fuel filters bowl in addition to standard Ford filter and pressure cut off switch Son report that Dad installed aluminum pistons balanced engine and installed a Model A crank but I have not opened the engine to confirm this Ruckstell 2 speed rear transmission (one of the BEST Model T options) shifts smoothly Bosch rear suspension floating rear axle bearings turn signals NICE rare trough the windshield spot light accessory heavy duty rear brakes (I do not know if they are Rocky Mountain or another make) Has a new uninstalled boot for the top and the rear Ford Tan Spare Tire cover Period tool box with period jack repair parts and other period tools Defects paint is older and parts are beginning to show chips on edges of hood. Hood had hot anti freeze from a loose radiator temperature gauge spray it which has caused some spotting one 1/2 inch paint chip along piano hinge on top of the hood some paint chipping on top frame edges fenders etc some paint cracking where the front fenders flex at the running boards top is functional and appears to be an older style 2 or 3 layer canvas fabric (canvas?) with a separate interior padding and liner The top Keeps the rain out fine but looks old. Harder to keep clean. The white trim around the top should be repainted or stained white One 3 inch pinch tear developed this week where the fabric top on rear most top frame pinched on top drivers side Has a rare model collectible distributor. I would definitely sell it to a collector and replace it with the original coil box 4 coil system or a new Texas T distributor. BEFORE going on long tours. In my opinion the original coils are best The majority of engine failures on tours are with older distributors. Rear tires are functional but tread is worn. Should be replaced within 500 miles before long tours Spare has good tread I need to re ground head lamps before the sale as when I hit a bump they can flicker rear window frames appear to have paint over corrosion one rear glass window is cracked two oil cups lubricating suspension have missing hinge tops which I will replace Spotlight. other interior lights I have never turned on or learned how to turn on I do work hard on greasing changing oil checking safety wiring on the wish bone checking for no leaks on the rear wheel seals etc. I try and keep cars maintained I can transport to the Model T Covered Bridge Tour for 45 cents a mile This is a fantastic tour with 32 covered bridges and back country roads full of Model T's following a prescribed route each day It is west of Indianapolis Indiana in Parke County Google it I have a nice 26 foot dual axle trailer with electric brakes and an electric hoist I use to pull the car up on the trailer I can sell for $ 1,000 with the car I can store free for 90 days after payment insured I do help transport cars to Chicago for overseas shipments Insured through Hagerty's for $ 16,000 Reason for selling I need the cash to help out a family member or I would not be selling it. This is a good car.. Every show I have entered it has won a trophy. Been in MANY parades and weddings |

Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford 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.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
