For Sale: 1927 Ford Model T in Jefferson, Wisconsin

Vehicle Description

This car is a hoot!  It is light, nimble and quick.  A lot of fun for just a few bucks.
    
It was built in 1964.  The boxed frame was adorned with a fiberglass T bucket.  You will notice some nice chrome pieces in the steering and windshield.  Blackface Stewart-Warner gauges are from the “day” and working perfectly.
    
The engine is a 1964 Chevrolet 153 cubic inch four cylinder.  According to the stamping, it came from a manual transmission car.  My bet is the car was wrecked and the engine was pulled from a salvage yard.  Certainly it has just a few miles on it.  The car has under 5000 since built.
    
The transmission was originally a Powerglide, but it now has a Turbo 350 automatic.  The rear-end is a Mopar 8.75” with 3.55 Sure-grip gearing.  A bit of overkill for such a small car, but I suspect the intent was to race.  There is a drive-shaft loop in place.
    
The front brakes are disc.  Even with the 145r-15 tires, it stops quickly and easily.  The 235r/70/15’s on the rear make it go and provide great gearing combination.  I have had the car at 80mph and it feels comfortable and safe.  There was plenty more if you are so brave.
    
I am 6’4” tall and 260 pounds.  While a bit tight, I fit.  I was very comfortable with my ability to actuate the pedals and felt completely in control and safe.  Certainly I was surprised.
    
The ride is nice.  The coil-over shocks make for a nice ride.  The front is also coil-over shocks.  There is no bump steer.  The shock adjustment is correct.  The steering is quick, yet the feel is good.  Obviously the car is light, so it is very easy.
    
The build was very nice.  The battery is beneath the seat, there are turn signals, functional gauges, dash lights and high/low beam switch.  The column is a late 60’s Ford version with locking ignition for theft deterrence.
    
The body is quite nice.  The hood and side panels remove easily due to Dzus fasteners.  The tub is a nicely built fiberglass model that is smooth and crack free.  The paint is nice and slick, with a great shine.
    
The performance is exceptional.  The engine starts easily due to a manual choke.  It has deceptive power and surprising acceleration.  The transmission, rear gearing and tire size are perfectly mated for quick and fast driving.
    
The previous owner reported that he was getting 33 mpg on road trips.  While the original Model T style tank is not capacious, it certainly will hold a full days driving needs.  You must keep an eye on the level, as a sending unit was not installed, so the gas gauge is not working.
    
There are project Model T roadsters advertised for more money.  This car is done and ready to show off.  You don’t need anything but gas in the tank and a smile on your face.
