1922 Model T Ford "doctor"s Coupe Excellent Driver No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1922 Mileage:99000
Location:

Augusta, Georgia, United States

Augusta, Georgia, United States


Up for bids is my 1922 Model T Ford "Doctor's" Coupe. If I'm not mistaken it also goes by several other nicknames, "Top Hat Coupe"," High Top Coupe" among others.

After twenty five years of restoring Model A Fords, I wanted to learn more about the "T" and bought a couple of "barn finds" got them running and driving then decided to buy a more reliable Model T. This is the one I chose.

This car has been around the Augusta area for years with a couple of owners who have since passed away. Knowing how nice this driver was, I bought it from the estate of the last owner and have enjoyed it ever since!

Even after the car had been stored for several years, it only needed the gas tank and fuel lines cleaned, a new set of spark plugs, plug wires a new battery and she cranked on the first turn! I also decided to install a fuel shutoff valve and replace the carburetor with a rebuilt Kingston NH from Lang's which made a world of difference. I also replaced the fan belt and water hoses. Now she starts easily every time and runs excellent both on battery and magneto!  All four wooden coils fire strong!

Unfortunately, the transmission bands needed replacing. Luckily I found a new set of Kevlar bands along with some extra parts that came with the car. Once they were installed, the car ran and drove as it did in 1922..... I would assume!

It also stops as well as it runs! Steering is tight. With the new Kevlar brake band  liner and the added optional Rocky Mountain drum brakes there is plenty of brake pedal and it seems to stop as well as my Model A.

Although I have no idea when or by whom the car was restored it is truly a very nice driver.

All of the glass is in excellent condition and the interior looks perfect especially with the beautifully restored steering wheel. Top is in excellent condition with no tears, worn areas or leaks. Do to the age of the restoration, the paint is showing some expected wear, nicks, etc. I have tried to picture most of the problem areas but the car still draws a crowd as is! I always receive many compliments!

Everything works on this "T" with the exception of the , "what appears to be," original speedometer. I would assume it would be operational but the cable and sprocket assembly that attaches to the right front wheel are missing. The formally kerosene cowl lamps have been cleverly altered to accept a socket and bulb and can be lit separately from the headlights. There is also an extra "STOP" light for safety.

I have never seen any leakage from the excellent radiator, engine, or drivetrain. No need to check the oil the old way by turning petcocks! Someone has installed a very helpful dipstick which works great and your hands stay clean!

The wooden spokes are in excellent condition, however, some of the tires are showing some surface cracking. No problem for short local trips but might be a concern for longer tours.

 

As much as I have enjoyed owning this "T" I need to make room for another recent vehicle purchase.

 

I strongly recommend anyone interested in bidding on this vehicle either visit Augusta, GA. or send their representative for inspection. I will be happy to show the car. anytime as long as arrangements are made in advance.

Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.

Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
