build is different and unique to its builder's style, one constant
is that, it is rare to see a hot rod that deviates from having a V8
under the hood. It is so uncommon that, when a builder chooses
something different, it frequently becomes the centerpoint of the
build - and this 1927 Ford Model T Roadster is no exception. What
sets this roadster apart is the 255ci Drake Offenhauser inline-4
race engine under the hood. This twin-cam, nicknamed the "Offy"
began life as a marine engine, but with numerous displacements,
went on to power countless race cars including land speed racers,
midget cars and became known for dominating the Indianapolis 500.
Legendary for its light weight, incredible power, reliability and
small size, the Offy was the engine to have in your race car from
the 1940s through the mid-1960s. This Offy features its original
magneto and water plumbing system, and breathes through a set of
Mikuni carburetors. A dry sump oiling system is a clear tie back to
its racing days, as is the custom tube header. Power is sent
through a Ford 3-speed automatic to the rear wheels via a Ford
9-inch Rear end with 3-link suspension. The body is finished in
bright yellow and is largely built of fiberglass. The "Track-Style"
nose, with its hood and louvered side panels pay homage to what
lies beneath, and are made from aluminum. This all sits on a custom
steel tube chassis, and rolls on a custom set of Ansen five-hole
wheels with CNC profile cuts for that classic machined finish.
Wilwood disc brakes sit behind them in front. The interior is
classically simple hot rod, with a single bench wrapped in caramel
leather, and carpeting to match. The dashboard is painted to match
the exterior, and features black-on-white gauges set within chrome
trim rings. A truly unique build, this Model T is a one of a kind
build, and one that you may never find again. If you want a hot rod
that will be both a blast to drive and a great conversation
starter, this Offy-powered Model T may be the car for you. For more
