This 1926 Model T Coupe is "parade ready" and is reluctantly being offered for sale by its owner.  I am helping a friend who is approaching 80 years old and for health reasons has reached that dreaded time of life where he must dispose of his cars because he is moving into a retirement home.  He has owned this Model T for 42 years (bought it in 1972) and he estimates that during his 42 years of ownership he has driven it a total of maybe 1,000 miles puttering around the block with his grandkids or driving in a parade.  

He indicates that he bought it from a man who owned it for two years who said he bought it from the original owner which makes him the third owner - YOU CAN BE THE FOURTH OWNER!!!  The car has never been disassembled for restoration, but rather had a body-on paint job in 1981 which still shines and a fresh interior was installed by a professional upholsterer.  With just a little bit of elbow grease, some wet sanding and some polishing compound, the paint should shine like a new dime!

The engine is the original engine which recently had a professional rebuild with all new babbitt by Ross Lilleker of Lilleker Antique Auto Restorations in College Station Texas at a cost of over $4,000 (we have all the receipts for work done) and since the engine was installed in the car it has probably not been driven over five miles!!!

If you've always wanted a nice Model T Coupe, here's a good one that no one messed up trying to take apart and restore.

* The "Balloon Cord" tires were bought from Snyders Antique Auto Parts and probably have less than 15 miles on them since new.
* It has a new Exide battery installed in the last 3 weeks at a cost of $125.
* It has an electric starter however it comes with the original hand crank should the need ever arise or if you want to impress your friends and show them how it was "done in the good old days".
* The car has always been stored in an insulated garage and has been "pampered" its whole life.
* The car comes complete with a new reproduction sunvisor which was bought from Snyders Antique Auto but never installed.
* Comes with copy of 300 page Model T Ford Service Manual.

The car was purchased in Kansas in 1972 and still has a clear Kansas title even though the current owner has lived in Texas for many years.  "Whizz" was the owner's nickname and the personalized Kansas Plate "WHIZZ" is an antique plate which is good for life.  

We are starting the bidding at $6,000 with NO RESERVE - the high bidder gets it!!!  Don't let this chance of a lifetime pass you by.  The winning bidder must deposit $1000 via Pay Pal within 48 hours of the end of the auction and the balance either in cash or certified funds will be due when the car is picked up in Georgetown, Texas.  Georgetown is 25 miles north of Austin on Interstate 35.  It is the buyer's responsibility to arrange shipment if not picked up in person.

If you are one of those "last 60 second bidders" be sure to add it to your WATCH LIST for next Sunday night so you won't forget - it would be difficult to find a nicer Model T Coupe than this one.  Good luck - feel free to ask any questions and I will get you an answer.  It is offered locally as well so we reserve the right to end the auction early should a local buyer make us an offer we can't refuse.

Ford to show special edition Raptor on April 9

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

There are precious few details, but what we do know is that Ford will be revealing images of "appearance upgrades" for a special-edition 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor on April 9. The slideshow will happen during a Motor Press Guild luncheon at Ford's Design Center Showroom in Irvine, California.
Without photos or further details, we're left to wonder about the extent of these changes, but aren't expecting anything too significant given the venue. Ford is understood to be revealing a next-generation F-150 with a big weight loss - as much as 700 pounds - for 2014, though it isn't yet clear if that's the truck's model year or simply its on-sale year. For at least a couple of years, Ford forums have been suggesting changes will come with the 2014 Raptor, so there could still be a bigger surprise in store. Either way, we'll know what all this means in a little more than a week. The press release below has the official details, but for the moment, we'll content ourselves by ogling the 2013 model above.

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.
