Two Barn Find Model T's 1926 Roadster And 1925 Tt Truck. Original Condition on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
The roadster is a 1926 in running condition, I drove this car for the first time. By that I never drove a model t before. No lessons. I took off with glee then remembered that the second gear was on the side lever. When it engaged the car took off and I felt like I hit the turbocharger! What a rush to go 25 mph that felt like 75 in car with such quick steering. I pulled down the throttle and coasted to a stop in front of the house in the photo. Fun fun fun! To get it running after years of sitting in a garage, all I had to do was clean out the carb and gas tank, charge the battery, add gas and viola it came to life. This is a nice little roadster. Interior as you can see in the photos is in great shape. The wire wheels set if off with a sporty look. A couple of the seat button are missing, no big deal.. The top and irons are in very good condition as well. There are some dings and dents that have accrued over it's lifetime but is part of it's ambience. Overall an 8 out of 10 to me. Remember it's original down to those flaws. The TT Truck is a 1925 with two speed Rucksdell axle. Also completely original. Everything is there. Might need need tires but they hold air and they are black. But all the same I would replace them if you are going to drive this truck to shows, parades or around the farm. The wood box is in good condition. When I found it, it was covered with a water bed bladder to preserve the wood. I seems to be all there. I also have three other model t's: 1919 touring that will need interior restoration. the body is pretty nice. Top irons and bows are there. All running gear is there. Missing windshield glass. Frame is there. 2 1925 deliveries. No body. front end complete to the cowl and steering wheel. These were made without bodies purposely so the owner could build their custom boxes or what have you for delivering and hauling items. I have read that were used for delivering newspapers, milk and mail to name a few uses. Or just buzzing around the farm! If interested in more conversation please call my with questions and comments before you bid. Both of these items are clear titled. The others do not have titles, either because they are too old or never registered by the original owners. Bill of sale will be given upon sale. Make me an offer for my whole collection if you like, including all parts.. The trailer in the photo was purchased for the express reason to haul the parts back the Las Vegas from North Dakota. It is available if you wish to purchase it along with the parts on it. It is a PJ 25' hitch type deluxe trailer. spring loaded attached ramps for easy use. heavy duty wiring package for cold seater. Crank down foot, electric brakes. The trailer was only used once to move the parts so there is about 1300 miles on it. Tows like a dream! There are several pallets of wheels, tires and rims that are not visible that would go with the rest on the trailer. i also have a ton of spare parts from this collection. 10 engines, fenders, wheels, transmissions, suspensions, axles, lights, sheet metal parts, coils and boxes, steering columns and much more. Many of the part are restored already. See photos. There are many more not shown. I am being reassigned overseas so I cannot take my collections with me as it is to prohibitive. Oh, One more thing, I have a 1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe for sale. $140,000. NOT STOCK BY ANY IMAGINE. LOOKS LIKE IT IN MANY WAYS BUT HIGHLY MODIFIED SHOW CAR. ASK FOR INFO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. THANKS FOR LOOKING. I will be out of town until the 18 th of July. So if you win this auction. You will have to collect your car/truck after that date. Come to Las Vegas and have fun when you come to pick up your classic vehicles. |

Ford issues four recalls covering 163k vehicles
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Recalls! 2014 will be forever remembered as the year that automakers went recall crazy, with millions and millions of vehicles adding up to crush previous recall records well before the end of the year. Adding to that tally is Ford, which announced a call-back for 163,000 vehicles.
Leading that charge are the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder engines of the Ford Focus ST and Ford Escape. 160,000 of the 2013 and 2014 models have bad wiring harnesses that can disrupt the signals traveling to the powertrain control module. That, in turn, could lead to a check engine light, reduced power and stalling. Notably, Ford hasn't recalled any other vehicles that feature the 2.0 EcoBoost, such as the Fusion, Taurus or Explorer.
While the Focus ST and Escape constitute the vast majority of recalled vehicles, they aren't the only problem children in the Ford family. 1,300 Transit passenger vans from model year 2015 were recalled due to brake fluid leaks, while another 600 Transit cargo variants were recalled after Ford discovered the windowless sliding doors could come open in the event of a side-impact crash. Dealers will replace the sealing washers on the passenger variants and add a reinforcement plate on the cargo models, The Detroit News reports.
Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?
Fri, Sep 22 2017Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.

Ford to revisit CVTs?
Thu, Dec 11 2014Today, Ford wishes its first experience with non-hybrid continuously variable transmissions was far behind it. The Blue Oval was awash in complaints and a couple of class-action lawsuits over the CVTs used in its 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, Five Hundred and Mercury Montego models, which were a manufactured in Batavia, Ohio as part of a joint venture with ZF. The company gave up on the CVT after just two years, but with fuel economy standards pressing automakers to conjure new tricks, Ford's global product development head, Raj Nair, is now saying the transmissions might make a return, "particularly in the low torque applications," says Automotive News. An obvious candidate for CVT consideration is the 1.0-liter Fiesta that can presently only be had with a five-speed manual. Beyond that, the company's 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines might fit the bill. Ford hasn't given any indication as to what vehicles it might use to reintroduce the CVT to the US market, or hints about timeline or who would develop it, however. Some CVT trivia: The 1990 Subaru Justy II was the first US passenger car offered with a continuously variable transmission - Subaru called it the ECVT. It handled gearing duties for a 1.2-liter, inline three-cylinder engine that got all of 70 horsepower. A contemporary blurb about the car begins with "Goodness, gracious, great gobs of gimmickry," and goes on to say that "We can't imagine where you would take this car for repairs, but we are certain that the one mechanic in the world who can fix it lives in a very expensive house." The transmission didn't win any fans, but the ECVT and the car have been largely forgotten, while Subaru played the long game and now you'll find its vastly improved Lineartronic CVT on six of the eight models it sells.
