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. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe is showroom fresh
Tue, 27 Aug 2013There's an ultra-rare Ford Thunderbird for sale on eBay, although it's not quite the T-Bird you're probably thinking. This is a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, complete with a five-speed manual transmission and just a shade over 13,000 miles on the clock. The condition is said to be mint, and judging by the interior and exterior pictures, we're inclined to believe the seller. The paint is glossy and the interior looks showroom new, while the underbody is stunningly clean for a 36-year-old car.
Underhood sits a 2.3-liter, intercooled and turbocharged four-cylinder (also found in the Mustang SVO) that was producing 190 horsepower when it left the factory. Inside, the five-speed manual transmission adds to the car's rarity. The vehicle's sole owner has been as immaculate with the paperwork as he has with the rest of the car - it's all there, including brochures and other product material.
The eBay auction ends tomorrow at midnight (9:00 PM if you're on America's west coast). Bidding has reached $10,200, and there's still plenty of time to get in on this future classic. The vehicle is located in Millstone Township, NJ.
Hertz goes Dutch with Ford Focus ST-H
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Want to take a performance car for a ride? Hertz can make that happen. Spin by your local rental location (depending, of course, on availability) and you can take out a Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, even a Corvette as part of the Adrenaline Collection. Hertz's Dream Cars lineup even includes Porsches and AMGs. But the really interesting stuff is what you can't get anywhere else: cars built specifically for Hertz.
Back in 1966, Hertz had Ford cook up a special run of Mustang GT350H models in back with gold stripes. It became an icon in and of itself, and in 2008 Hertz had a new batch of Shelby GT-Hs made. Earlier this year, Hertz contracted Penske to deliver another fleet of specially-built Mustangs you can rent. But if your travel plans include a trip to the Netherlands, Hertz has a completely different type of specially-prepared Ford on offer for you.
Back in August, Ford delivered a couple of Focus STs made specifically for Hertz in Holland. Now it's expanded that fleet even further. The Ford Focus ST-H features the same 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo four (and everything else) as the standard Focus ST, but gets that signature black exterior with gold stripes and a black leather interior with Recaro buckets. So in case a trip to Amsterdam doesn't hold enough thrills, now you can throw a hot hatch into the mix as well. Scope out the press release (in Dutch - isn't that weird?) below.
Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
