Restored Vintage Shriner Mini 1916 Ford Model T Roadster Texaco Pickup Go Kart on 2040-cars
Concord, New Hampshire, United States
|
Fantastic recreation based on a 1960's McDonough Industries Tin Lizzy Mini Model T based Go Kart made popular by the Shriners use in parades for many years. These cars were often given away in promotional contests by companies to sell their goods.
Found in a barn in New Hampshire in Fall of 2013 and restored spring of 2014. This little car has gone through a complete tear down and cleaning of every component of which there are many. This car is very detailed down to the front suspension. Axles were stripped and rebuilt and serviced as was the frame and transaxle. All hardware has been replaced with new brass or zinc cad plated pieces. New floorpan and engine as well as wheel bearings. Wheels serviced and hubs all rebuilt. The fiberglass fenders were stripped, cracks repaired and weak areas braced before being repainted. The new vinyl interior is very comfortable. The custom wood flat bed covers the motor nicely and provides a sturdy platform for a precious payload. The throttle is on the steering column and the handles outside the left side body operate the brake and clutch. This little car has had it all done and looks great. It drives very nicely and is easy to operate. Texaco decals are period correct and make this vehicle that much more of an eye catcher. These vehicles are getting rare and not many look this nice. Display, play, or cruise the swap. Every kids dream and there is a kid in all of us! Available to view. Please feel free to come see it. Buyer must arrange for shipping or pickup. Unique. Be a hero. |

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers
Fri, 20 Dec 2013Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.
