Mishawaka, Indiana, United States

 One of the Best Model T's I have owned.  The prior owner did a
great deal of work on this car. He and his wife drove it on tours of
 Pikes peak, the Rocky Mountains, Canada the far West and East ,
Midwest  on many Model T tours. Attached is a YouTube video I
 made showing Model T accessories with more pictures of the car
 for sale If the car does not sell I am open to offers following the end
 of the auction I can store the car in dry storage for 30 days no cost
and then further storage at my cost of $ 60 a month until pick up I
 have helped ship cars to Europe I do guarantee the car is as described
a good running operational car. I ENCOURAGE inspections either
 by the buyer or a third party 

Here is a list of  options that add quality and value to the car.  Later
I will note all the DEFECTS as no car is perfect and I keep my
reputation high by being very honest.  No complaints selling many
 cars over 50 years .  The Son of the West Ohio restorer reported
that this car came in second at the Ford Museum annual Old Car
Festival (some years ago)  but lost out as it had a white interior






Engine  highly modified and powerful standard Model T block

high compression head

Model A high flow intake and exhaust

Model A Carburetor

Air filter

electric fuel pump

2 glass fuel filters bowl in addition to standard Ford filter and pressure
cut off switch

Son report that Dad installed aluminum pistons balanced engine and
installed a Model A crank but I have not opened the engine to confirm this

Ruckstell 2 speed rear transmission (one of the BEST Model T options)
 shifts smoothly

Bosch rear suspension

floating rear axle bearings

turn signals

NICE rare trough the windshield spot light

accessory heavy duty rear brakes (I do not know if they are Rocky
 Mountain or another make)

Has a new uninstalled boot for the top and the rear Ford Tan Spare
Tire cover

Period tool box with period jack repair parts and other period tools

Defects

paint is older and parts are beginning to show chips on edges of hood.  Hood had hot anti freeze
from a loose radiator temperature gauge  spray it which has caused some spotting   one 1/2 inch
paint chip along piano hinge on top of the hood

some paint chipping on top frame edges fenders  etc    some paint cracking where the front fenders
flex at the running boards

top is functional and appears to be an older style 2 or 3 layer canvas fabric (canvas?)  with a separate
interior padding and liner  The top   Keeps the rain out fine but looks old. Harder to keep clean.  The
white trim around the top should be repainted or stained white  One 3 inch pinch tear developed this
week where the fabric top on rear most top frame pinched on top drivers side

Has a rare model collectible distributor.  I would definitely sell it to a collector and replace it with the
original coil box 4 coil system or a new Texas T distributor. BEFORE going on long tours.  In my
 opinion the original coils are best   The majority of engine failures on tours are with older distributors.

Rear tires are functional but tread is worn. Should be replaced within 500 miles before long tours
  Spare has good tread

I need to re ground head lamps before the sale  as when I hit a bump they can flicker

rear window frames appear to have paint over corrosion

one rear glass window is cracked

two oil cups lubricating suspension  have missing hinge tops which I will replace

Spotlight. other interior lights I have never turned on or learned how to turn on

I do work hard on greasing changing oil checking safety wiring on the wish bone  checking for no leaks
 on the rear wheel seals etc. I try and keep cars maintained

I can transport to the Model T Covered Bridge Tour for 45 cents a mile  This is a fantastic tour with 32
covered bridges and back country roads full of Model T's following a prescribed route each day  It is
 west of Indianapolis Indiana in Parke County   Google it

I have a nice 26 foot dual axle trailer with electric brakes and an electric hoist I use to pull the car up
on the trailer I can sell for $ 1,000  with the car  

I can store free for 90 days after payment insured

I do help transport cars to Chicago for overseas shipments

Insured through Hagerty's for $ 16,000

Reason for selling  I need the cash to help out a family member or I would not be selling it.
This is a good car..  Every show I have entered it has won a trophy.  Been in MANY parades and weddings

Ford EcoSport Storm concept swallows a Raptor in Sao Paulo

Sun, 02 Nov 2014

Ford rolled into the Sao Paulo Motor Show with some pretty cool crossovers in tow, the awesomest of all being the EcoSport Storm concept shown above, which draws its inspiration directly from the F-150 SVT Raptor. It packs a lower grille clearly derived from the now-famous muscle truck, as well as a Blue Storm paint job, black and silver trim, special graphics, lower body cladding and 215/75 R15 off-road tires. Don't go holding your breath for a supercharged V8, though; made locally in Brazil, India and Thailand, the tiny EcoSport is typically powered by a three- or four-cylinder engine.
The Storm isn't the only specially prepared Ecosport on show, however, joined as it is by another pair called Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is decked out in matte copper with a black roof, LED fog lamps, 18-inch wheels with low-profile tires and an interior complete with four individual bucket seats, leather upholstery and a full multimedia suite. The Beast, meanwhile, takes a sportier approach with a white pearl finish, blue and orange trim and three-bar grille. It also wears 18-inch wheels and LED fog lamps, but its interior swaps out its rear seats for a bike rack.
Joining the EcoSport show cars was an Edge crossover equipped with all the latest technologies and done up in bright red with three-bar grille, bulging hood, and an interior featuring 10-inch touchscreens and leather upholstery. Feel free to read more in the press release below.

Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses

Wed, 25 Jul 2012



Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
