This is a 1923 Ford Model T Coupe also known as an Opera Coupe or a Doctor's Coupe.  The car is an excellent driver and is really fun to drive - it really runs great!  It has an electric starter but also can be started by the front crank without a battery using the magneto.  I have started it both ways but it has more power when driving with the battery.  Has a new 6 volt battery and carburetor was cleaned and rebuilt.   Car was in a heated garage for about 20-24 years and is original.  I am a perfectionist so I think it could use a paint job since there is a good amount of cracking along the hood hinge (see pictures) and it also has a couple of nicks on the fenders (again, please see pictures).  Tires are in very good condition with no crazing (spare has some cracks in it but is still fine).  Doesn't leak any oil and transmission works great.  This is an original car and could use some interior work -- some of the welting fabric is loose and frayed.  The body is in great shape as far as no rust anywhere -- all the steel is solid!  Window regulators work but the passenger regulator slips.  Car also has some options on the dash -- a wind up clock (needs work possibly) and an old APCO air freshener from the 1920's. Radiator is great - no leaks.  Also of interest is the locking mechanism on the steering wheel -- believe this was an option not added by Ford but I am not 100% positive. Headlamps are electric but lights near cowl have kerosene wicks in them.  Please feel free to ask any questions -- I am more familiar with the Model A's than the Model T but I have enjoyed driving this car -- it starts instantly and is a load of fun to drive once you get used to it!!!  Selling because I need to make room in garage for another Model A.  I've tried to provide the good and the bad in my description but again, if you have any additional questions or would even like to see a video of the car running/driving, please let me know and I'll be glad to send.  I have a bill of sale but title is long gone - god knows what happened to it!  Also of particular note, there is a brass plate on the passenger sill indicating the car was originally purchased from Burnett and Sherman Ford Lincoln Dealership in Boston, Massachusetts.  Car is available for pickup in Kensington, CT. l

Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.

This 2,000-hp Mustang is in serious need of wheelie bars

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

The Ford Mustang on the right is drag racing with the standard technique. The Mustang on the left, driven by David Measell, is using a new "rear bumper only" technique that evidently surprised everyone at the South Georgia Motorsports Park strip - including Measell.
Measell said his outfit just bought the car the week before the event, noting that it has more than 2,000 horsepower. Speaking of his "flying" run, Measell said, "We turned it up to dip on down," by which he meant they turned up the power in order to get his time down. Turns out all that power and all that traction sent the nose straight up into the air almost as soon as the race began.
He told an interviewer afterward that this was his first race in a "regular car" since he normally drives a pro-mod. "I like my wheelie bars," he concluded. You can see how he got there in the video below.
