Original 1926 Model T Ford Roadster / Speedster / Racer on 2040-cars
Spring Hill, Tennessee, United States
|
Up for auction is this original 1927 Ford Model T Racer. The chassis, body and engine are original. Original restored wire wheels. This awesome ride goes 50 mph with no hesitation. Completely rebuilt transmission using Kevlar bands, Jack Rabbit clutch, Springs, Bushings, etc. The engine was rebuilt last year professionally for performance and reliability. Since completion last year, I have driven this car on average of 4-5 times a week around town, weather permitting. It is very reliable. It should be, because every nut and bolt; as well as every mechanical component has been rebuilt. Don’t let the paint job, or lack there of, fool you. Under that fantastic patina is a show car, with over $30K invested keeping everything factory stock and period correct. The only thing that’s been added is the Rocky Mountain brakes (It goes fast and stops just as well!), new modern distributor and alternator. Engine & Transmission: Fresh rebuild using aluminum pistons [60 over]. High compression racing “Z” head. New US made Crankshaft. Heat-treated, with main and rod journals ground and polished to a 6-micro finish. Dynamically balanced. New high lift Camshaft, 280 grind with short front bearing journal. New Camshaft bearings. New 7-1/2 degree distributor timing gear for extra speed. Rebuilt for high flow original Holley NH carburetor. Balanced engine. Rebuilt Transmission, top to bottom. New distributor, points, plugs and wires. New throttle and choke linkage. New ignition and AMP gauge. Rebuilt Hogshead with all new seals and gaskets. Lightened flywheel. Magneto removed. Original early 20’s perfect set of bubble headlights, very bright. Original accessory ‘through the glass’ Clymer spotlight (These in working order and in their original glass are ridiculously impossible to find). Works great. Large period correct horn. Loud. NOS accessory adjustable steering wheel tension stabilizer. Custom cut and fit oak floors. Completely rebuilt rear end, including axle and bearings. Newly installed Rocky Mountain Brakes. New radiator, hoses, clamps and fan belt. New exhaust manifold, pipes and stock muffler. New aluminum intake manifold. Custom leather barrel seats. Battery kill switch. New large Model T oval gas tank. Installed in trunk area. Twin Model T brake lights. Completely rebuilt suspension, steering and new reinforced front sway bars. New ignition coil and Optima battery. Storage compartment under removable barrel seats. Steering wheel and windshield are original, and perfect. Completely rewired. Everything works as it should. Note: This is not your typical barn find that someone hacked up and attempted to make a rusty piece to look like an authentic vintage racer. This was a near rust free stock body and chassis with a running motor and transmission. The paint was left untouched, other than putting on a new $450 deck lid. The frame was reinforced [particularly in the rear] for safety reasons due to the increased speed capability. This is a remarkably correct Model T Racer, and is without question one of the finest factory stock component Model T’s anywhere. i am willing to ship this car within 300 miles of 37174 at no cost. Otherwise buyer is responsible for their own shipping. If you have any questions please call me anytime - Brad 727-439-9525. |

Ford to add Android Auto and CarPlay to 2016 SYNC 3 cars via update
Fri, May 19 2017Ford is updating a large number of 2016 model year cars equipped with SYNC 3 infotainment software, adding Android Auto and CarPlay to the vehicles with a free, over-the-air update via Wi-Fi, or using either USB or going through their dealer. The upgrade will be available for around 800,000 vehicles in total, giving a huge number of Ford car owners the chance to get big infotainment improvements without having to buy a newer model car. The OTA update option is also a big step for Ford – it's the company's first for software ever, and it's one of the major reasons that Ford recently hired around 400 new mobile smartphone engineers, the company tells me. For CarPlay, users will still also need to upgrade their vehicle's USB hub to make this work (which will also incur a dealer visit and a cost), but for those on Android, all that's required is a simple software installation. The USB install method is also faster, but the Wi-Fi update option is the start of the company's efforts to really increase its OTA update program, which will be used for security improvements as well as infotainment bumps. Even with a dealer visit and hardware upgrade for CarPlay, this sounds like a worthwhile thing for 2016 vehicle owners to do. CarPlay and Android Auto are huge upgrades vs. most in-car software, offering navigation and entertainment options that follow you from your phone to your car. Retroactively offering this kind of thing to car owners is a definite change in tone for carmakers, since they typically use these kinds of things as incentives to get people interested in vehicle model updates. But as data becomes increasingly important to automakers as a business, it makes sense to encourage greater in-car use of devices.Written by Darrell Etherington for TechCrunchRelated Video: Auto News Ford Lincoln Technology Infotainment android
Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks
Mon, 21 Apr 2014The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
