Restored Vintage Shriner Mini 1916 Ford Model T Roadster Texaco Pickup Go Kart on 2040-cars
Concord, New Hampshire, United States
|
Fantastic recreation based on a 1960's McDonough Industries Tin Lizzy Mini Model T based Go Kart made popular by the Shriners use in parades for many years. These cars were often given away in promotional contests by companies to sell their goods.
Found in a barn in New Hampshire in Fall of 2013 and restored spring of 2014. This little car has gone through a complete tear down and cleaning of every component of which there are many. This car is very detailed down to the front suspension. Axles were stripped and rebuilt and serviced as was the frame and transaxle. All hardware has been replaced with new brass or zinc cad plated pieces. New floorpan and engine as well as wheel bearings. Wheels serviced and hubs all rebuilt. The fiberglass fenders were stripped, cracks repaired and weak areas braced before being repainted. The new vinyl interior is very comfortable. The custom wood flat bed covers the motor nicely and provides a sturdy platform for a precious payload. The throttle is on the steering column and the handles outside the left side body operate the brake and clutch. This little car has had it all done and looks great. It drives very nicely and is easy to operate. Texaco decals are period correct and make this vehicle that much more of an eye catcher. These vehicles are getting rare and not many look this nice. Display, play, or cruise the swap. Every kids dream and there is a kid in all of us! Available to view. Please feel free to come see it. Buyer must arrange for shipping or pickup. Unique. Be a hero. |

Europe's most-wanted classic car is... the Ford Mustang?
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Over the span of its 49 years and five generations, the Ford Mustang has held a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts in the US, but, as it turns out, this car is also very popular amongst European car lovers. Earlier this summer, AutoScout24 - a new and used car shopping site in Europe - polled around 75,000 European "car lovers" (not sure how they vetted the respondents) to see which cars were the most popular, and the Mustang came out on top over iconic European classics like the BMW M1 and Volkswagen Beetle.
In the whole of Europe, 37 percent of those polled dream of owning a Mustang, but that number jumps in individual countries like Austria (42 percent) and Spain (41 percent). Rounding out the top five popular classics in Europe are the Mini and Citroën 2CV. Find out which cars made up the rest of the top 10 in the press release posted below.
Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.
2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.
