1923 Ford model T touring car..(Note plates are CT 1925 ,are not included) Rehabilitated in the 50's. Ran off and on till the early 60's and stored till 4 years ago. It was easily made run-able and used till about year and a half ago., It performed well.
This car was originally built as a basic magneto non battery and starter car. A long the way(previous to me) a starter was added and spare tire carrier plus a,4 dip oil pan-crank case, I added a proper original generator and battery frame bracket to replace a home made one. The 2 dash oil lamps used on non battery- starter cars remain.
The block serial number dates about 1923 and is a " MADEI N CANADA" casting.
The car has not been restored to any degree, just repaired ,rebuilt and touched up as required to keep as a good old driver and usable in recent history. Really Just cleaned up here and there to preserve what is there.
The engine has seen work previously and presently is out and apart for some overhauling. Pistons are low milage and aluminum .030 oversize with newer re-babbitted match weighted, dippered rods which all appear fine and reusable shape. and were in the engine. Valves seats are now worn, plus ear main crank bearing thrust is worn out and center main cap in has started a edge split. So fitting all new main caps may just do as the upper block bearings appear just fine plus a good valve job was my plan.
Transmission was working nicely and is still intact, Generator was rebuilt and a set of stock ignition coils. Front axle and spring assembly rebuilt and not driven on yet and toe- in should be checked when the engine weight is back...The rear axle assembly and spring were overhauled well shortly after I acquired the car, ..Tires are 3-1/2" x 30 all around ,are older rubber with lots of tread.. Spare is new and match the rear tyers. Wheels were cleaned down and hand painted ,
Upholstery is 1950's and popped some buttons along the way (old plastic buttons with molded in loops and the loops broke out.)Door panels are tired and original. Body wood very good.
The under side of car has been extensively hand ,pneumatic wire wheel tool and scraped cleaned primed and painted old school.(mostly neatly with a brush)..75% of the body has had the old 50's paint chemically stripped off to bright metal , some glazing of imperfections(minor wave or ping and old bumps and bruises worked over and painted a shop coat of satin black. This included Front fenders, radiator shell, head lamps, hood shelves, hood, windshield parts, dash board, dash lamps, body as far back as rear doors...Back bucket quarters and rear panel and rear fenders and aprons are still old 50's black lacquer with some rust spotting blisters. Top irons are complete ,good shape with some broken wood bows and mega tack holes.
There is no title required in Connecticut for such cars so one is not available. .You get a Connecticut DMV bill of sale plus hand written bill of sale only. So don't ask about any title business.
You get all the parts I have for this one car, that belong to it...An extra core generator or starter parts etc .that may be.in pictures are not included . You just get the good ones for the car.LOL!
If there is no interest for a price and since I've just run out gas with these wonderful Model T's after 38 years , I'm open to trade for several things .
Of most interest is an unrestored /restorable most complete 1920's 4 cylinder Dodge Touring car or Maxwell 1922-25 Touring car .Though I'm open to other pre `1931 touring cars. Even an open Essex 4 or 6 banger LOL!
Its a stretch but a Model A '28-'31 4 door Phaeton ,probably in very tired unrestored shape or decent basket case project is always on top of the my list. Maybe a nice intact 1928-31 Ford tudor may give me the break I need ?
If you car Is much ragger, rougher than mine some cash my way, may be in order?
Winner to pay a non refundable $500. deposit after auction close within 24 hours...Balance paid in CASH ONLY at pick up...Car can be safely garage kept for no more than 2 weeks with no responsibility taken or assumed for any loss or damage , the car is subject to resale after 2 weeks if you fail to pay the balance and make other arrangements so don't keep me un-informed and out of the loop if your having any trouble getting your act together as far as picking the car up.If an extension Is needed we'll work on it.

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
