Model T Coupe

Fully Restored

“A Piece of American History”

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 

VEHICLE HISTORY:   The current owner purchased this car in 1978 (36 years ago).  He commenced a thorough frame-off restoration replacing everything it needed.  A rebuilt, period correct (1925) Ford L-head engine was installed.  The original engine (included with purchase if desired) was taken out.  A pile of receipts is included documenting the restoration.  It was finished in 1983 and was a show winner.  30+ years later this Model T is showing some age and patina, but is still a handsome car in very nice condition.  Age precludes the owner from enjoying this Model T any longer, so it is ready for a new caretaker to preserve and enjoy this historical icon. 

Included in the photos is a short write-up of the restoration prepared by the owner. 

MARQUE HISTORY:  The Ford Model T is considered the most important car ever built.  It put America “on wheels” and changed the way people lived, providing inexpensive transportation for the Nation.  From 1909 to 1927 the Ford Motor company built more than 15 million Model T cars.  The Model T continued into production until the Model A was introduced for 1928.  This car sold for $530 in 1922!

VEHICLE CONDITION:  

We do a mechanical and cosmetic inspection to each vehicle before listing it for sale.  This report is included below will provide a reasonable description of the vehicle condition.  Older vehicles are subject to normal wear and tear and we have tried to indicate the overall condition of the vehicle to the best of our ability.  But, we can not always find everything that is not perfect with a vehicle, so independent inspections are welcome and encouraged.  We drive each vehicle approximately 20 miles, but this is no indication of its long term road-worthiness.  The only guarantee with an older vehicle is that someplace, sometime, something will need repaired!
