For Sale: 1927 Ford Model T in Concord, North Carolina

STK 3247 1927 Ford Model T Runabout

Many folks refer to the pre-1919 Model T as "Vintage", after that "Veteran". The beautiful 1927 Model T roadster is a seasoned Veteran. The '27 Model T was the last year of the 'T' as the next generation was introduced in 1928 - the infamous Model 'A'. This Ford is an outstanding example of the Model T Runabout body style. Many of these Runabout models were long ago converted into street rods, but this 'T' survives as 'restored to original' roadster. The current owner's family has possessed this 'T' for over 40 years and has provided a comprehensive binder of restoration documentation/receipts. Restoration of the interior and exterior was completed in 2004 and included new Deep Plum/Ford Black paint and black vinyl upholstery. A folding soft-top is in excellent condition and the Runabout has a covered "turtle deck" trunk over the rear wheels behind the passenger compartment. All gauges (that would be the amp meter) are in working order and a beautiful 'convex' spoke steering wheel accents the interior. One of the most prominent upgrades to the Veteran models was the introduction of the electric starter that made firing the 'T' a much easier and safer proposition. (A crank is still there for backup.) Electrics including headlights/taillights are 6-volt with a battery located under the trunk. The inline 177 CID 4-cylinder flathead in this 'T' has been rebuilt and runs well. The transmission is a 2-speed forward Hi/Lo planetary gear unit that is operated by a three-pedal configuration. The original metal 30-spoke wheels have been carefully refinished and mount a set of matching correct tires. The rear mounted yellow spare is nothing short of classy. This Model T Runabout is a very rare roadster that would be a wonderful addition to anyone's Blue Oval collection. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
