Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present for your consideration this
1927 Ford Model T Roadster Hot Rod for your consideration. The
build began in 2012 and was finished up in 2017. The chassis was
all custom built out of 2x4 inch tubing. The suspension has dual
quarter elliptic springs in the front and the rear and rides on
Speedway friction shocks that where inspired by Harry Miller's Indy
cars of the '20s and '30s. The front axle is a Speedway tubular
axle with 4 inch drop and the rear axle is out of an early ford
with Speedway open drive conversion, 3.78 axle ratio. The brakes
consist of 1941 Ford passenger car in the rear and 1948 F1 brakes
in the front. The steering gear and pitman arm are out of a 1965
Plymouth Valiant with a 20:1 ratio. The steering wheel is out of a
1947 Buick.
The 16 inch wire wheels are from a 1935 Ford with 175R x16 Austone
radial tires. The rear tires are 195/80 x 16 Bridgestone Ecopia
radials. The 1927 body is Fiberglass. The grille shell is off of a
1920's Studebaker. The drivetrain consists of a 205 liter Chevrolet
4 cylinder out of a 1992 S10 pickup with a T5 transmission. A twin
carb manifold was created out of the OEM manifold with Carter YF
carbs. Other highlights include 1981 Citation distributor, reground
cam by Bullet Cams, finned side cover and custom exhaust. This was
all made to look like a Model B overhead conversion by using a cut
down 235 Chevy valve cover to conceal the OEM cover, oil fill and
PCV valve. The custom driveshaft was built by DTS.
The body is finished in 1969 Mercedes "Blau" and shows very well.
The car was built with care and operates very well. This car is
ready for its next owner!
