New $4,000 Engine ~ For Sale By Car's Third Owner Who Has Owned It 42 Years! on 2040-cars
Year:1926
Mileage:5
Location:
|
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. |

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
