Lisbon, Iowa, United States
|
1926 roadster. This is a period correct jalopy racer using parts that were available around or before 1930. It is still all model T ford. Front has been lowered using model t wishbones bent into hairpin radius rods with the axle kicked forward. Rear has been z'd. Steering has been dropped and works nice. Smaller diameter early steering wheel for more leg room. Custom hand made leather straps using stock hood hooks and springs for tension. Custom built solid oak floorboards using stock hold downs and correct ship lap joints. A lot of new parts including, front wheel bearings, correct cloth covered wiring harnesses for the lights and ignition switch, spark plugs and wires, cutout for generator and battery. it is a stock six volt system. lights have new sockets, front and rear and all work as they should. It does have a brake light. Runs great and starts easy. Does leak a little oil. This car is a driver. I have been driving it quite a bit this year already. It is still a model t and drives like one so dont expect a new car. The tires have good tread but are showing some minor weather checking. They all hold air and haven't given any problems. The body is not perfect, it has rust and dents but is all original ford steel. There are no patch panels or bondo. The paint doesn't look to be original but does look very old and has a lot of character and patina. It would be easy to restore the body with patch panels that are readily available but I personally would keep it as is. Frame and subframe are both good. Original running board tool box is in the trunk. Accessory clamp on spotlight with rear view mirror. Brakes and transmission work well. Clean original title that matches the frame number. Please feel free to ask any questions. I can provide storage for a reasonable amount of time needed to arrange pick up or shipping. All shipping costs will be responsibility of the buyer. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of auctions end. remaining balance due within 7 days.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects
Thu, 16 May 2013Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.
