27 Ford Model T, steel body clean clear title. Car has been chopped, channeled, custom frame with kick ups front and rear, super bell axel, suicide front suspension, coilover rear suspension, ford 9" rear end 3.00 gear, 292 gm inline 6 Saginaw 3 speed stick with a hand clutch. Has sprint car type cowl steering, new friction shocks up front, new wheels and tires, 16" firestones all around.
I just drove this car 992 miles on the Bourbon Blitzkrieg Run, and to Beatersville car show without a single issue. Averaged 22 mpg the entire trip. The only gauges it has are temp and oil pressure. Get in and drive anywhere with not issues. Steering will wander on bad roads due to no weight on the front end and bias ply tires, however it's not terrible. I drove the car at 75 mph the entire trip last weekend.
The front window is plexiglass and will come with some extra sheets as its a little narrow. There is no top and no other windows, the doors are latched from the inside. I find it easier to climb over. Remember leg room is limited in this, I'm 6'1" 210lbs and I fit but it is tight. There is minimal foot room on the driverside by the pedals, work boots will not work for driving this. There are dents/rust/patch panels, this is a rat rod...not a pristine show car although it does get awards.
Buyer is to arrange pickup or shipping. The vehicle is for sale locally as well, so the auction may end early if sold. Also interested in trades for other pre-65 cars and trucks, trades must come to me.

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
