1913 Model T Ford Roadster Pickup on 2040-cars
Conroe, Texas, United States
|
This Model T is a 1913 roadster pickup. The description of the Model T: The T was painted in late 2012, and the seat cover was done about the same time. The body is maroon and the fenders, running boards, splash aprons are black. The floor mat is new. The engine has been modified with a 12 volt system, with alternator, electric start, halogen headlights, LED tail lights, however there is no "stop light". The electric starter was added for ease of starting but can still be crank started if you choose. There is a clear Texas title in my name and the numbers on the title match that on the engine.. The bed on the pickup was built according to the correct original design and uses the correct fittings. We have made road trips of 80 to 100 miles or more with no problems and is regularly driven to church and around town on nice days. The Model T starts and runs on magneto, the correct tool box and carbide generator are mounted on the running board. The white tires are in good condition with the "NonSkid" tread design. There is plenty of good tread remaining on the tires. The "white" on the front tires is good, however the rear tires tend to turn grey over time. The rear tires are "white" tires but to keep them looking good I use a rubberized white paint about once a year to keep them looking good. A spare can of white tire paint is included with the sale. I cannot attest that the engine is a 1913 engine, however it is easily started and runs as quiet as any Model T I have ever driven or listened to. The motor number on the engine is 178724 and checking with the Model T website the engine number originated in late 1912, but that doesn't mean it is a 1912 or 1913 manufactured engine. But I can say that the engine is in very good driving condition, it doesn't smoke and starts and runs right on down the road very well. Please look at the engine pictures and if you have any questions regarding the engine you may want to check with someone you know that is a Model T expert------I'm not. But it is a Model T engine for sure, all 20 horse power of it. The car is for sale locally and the auction may be ended without notice, transportation is the responsibility of the purchaser. You are invited to make a personal inspection of the car prior to bidding if you like. I don't think you will be disappointed but you never know how someone else will look at a car or truck. The preferred method of payment is by wire transfer.

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
Woman trades 1914 Model T in for 2013 Corvette
Wed, 17 Apr 2013We're sure that dealers must see all sorts of interesting trade ins, but this one may take the cake. Red River Chevrolet in Bossier City, Louisiana, recently had a customer come in with an odd request. Tina Boyter wanted to trade in three vehicles on a brand-new 2013 Chevy Corvette. Among the hardware was 1980 Corvette, a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado and a 1914 Ford Model T. While the '80 Corvette had been her personal car for years, the '78 Eldorado had belonged to Boyter's mother before she traded up to a Lincoln. The big Caddy had just 10,290 miles on the clock when it was traded in.
And the Model T? Boyter says the car was built as a racer by Ford, and that it had been a show winner for years when it belonged to her father. But, after spending the last 16 years in a museum with its fluids drained, Boyter decided it was time to shed some of the past. She walked into the dealer, laid eyes on a white 2LT Corvette with a red interior and offered to trade all three of the vehicles in on the sports car.
Why not wait for the C7? "I fell in love with that one when I walked in the door," She said. We can't fault her there.
