Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, United States

Vintage 1927 Ford Model T Depot Hack on rebuilt original running gear and engine. Manufacturer’s serial number 14130234. I worked with my father on the restoration including the chassis, engine, running gear, fenders, running boards, wheels, painting, radiator, gas tank, etc. The PA A code (antique motor vehicle) title is dated 05-26-72. New PA title in my name is dated 2/28/12. It is one of two complete Ford Model T Depot Hacks rebuilt from the ground up including new wood bodies, seats, hardware, side curtains, accessories, etc. Dad worked with noted Gettysburg, PA cabinet maker, Bob Dietrick, on the bodies. The body patterns were taken from an original Depot Hack in Frederick, MD. They built several bodies in varying configurations. This variation uses a single piece of finished plywood with black lines on the inside of the top and the bed and to replicate the individual wood slats used in the original. Body side panels have solid wood partitions over the finished plywood. The restoration was undertaken make the vehicle very reliable and presentable but not for show. The last registration sticker is dated 1988. The PA inspection sticker is dated 4/89. This car was always garaged and driven frequently during the 1972 to 1988 period on trips over the Gettysburg battlefield, local camping trips, Hershey antique car show, etc and was last driven sometime in the early 1990’s. I moved the car to another storage facility three years ago.

 

Vehicle is being sold in as is condition with no guarantees. It has not been run since put in original storage and has accumulated 20+ years of dust and some deterioration. Engine is free and tires still hold air. There is some separation to the wood roof interior on the left side and front due to water ingress while in the original storage area. The black fabric top cover appears in good overall condition and probably need waterproofing. The side curtains are nice as pictured but need stretched to close completely as they were stored in the rolled up position. Body/chassis is still relatively rust free with some small areas of chipping and flaking. Most noticeable rust is to/around the engine area and exhaust system. Note remnant of old fan belt and spit cleaned area on left front fender. There is a vertical crack in the upper windshield starting near the windshield wiper. There is a double spare tire mount on the left running board with a spare tire/rim that was not pictured. Vehicle is still set up in the original 6V DC configuration with electric start. A chassis/metal work wash, wood body and side curtain cleaning would greatly improve the overall appearance. Mechanically, needs at least a new fan belt and 6V battery based on visual inspection. More photos available. Includes a spare engine/transmission (crank turns/not running as pictured) and radiator. Great winter project in time for the spring touring season.

 

Contact me via email or phone at 717-357-8799 with questions or more pictures. Vehicle is available for local pick-up only. Close of auction constitutes contract to purchase. $500 down payment is due within 3 days of auction close via PayPal, USPS Money Order or Cashiers/Certified Check. Balance is due via cashiers/certified check within 7 days of close of auction. Funds must clear prior to pick-up/transfer of title.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.

Ford decides C-Max shoppers not interested in fuel economy

Sat, Oct 25 2014

If you say a car – the Ford C-Max Hybrid, for example – is "fun to drive," can anyone really come up with some empirical evidence against your claim? What about calling it "versatile"? We wonder if Ford has been thinking along these lines when it talks about the green little hatch. Ford is refocusing its sales strategy for the C-Max Hybrid after the model took a sales hit on both sides of the Atlantic recently, Automotive News reports. That sales dropoff may stem from the fact that Ford has had to revise its fuel-economy figures downward for the C-Max twice since last year, most recently in June. That made the company's once-proud fuel-economy comparisons with the Toyota Prius kind of pointless. Ford is going a different route, calling the model versatile (which, to be fair it was also doing a year ago), technologically advanced and fun to drive. Since the C-Max has about 50 more horsepower than the Prius, that last part may be true. Ford representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the mpg-mention-free advertising direction, but we will update this post if we hear back. Sales of the C-Max Hybrid have suffered in the US. Through September, Ford sold 15,245 C-Max Hybrids, down 36 percent from last year. We shall see if a new focus away from the car's lowered mpg numbers helps. At least Ford can be pleased with sales of the C-Max Energi Plug-in Hybrid, which are up 51 percent compared to 2013.
