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. |

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
