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?
