a perfect example of one of Henry Ford's best-known comments, "Any
customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as
it is black." MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to offer this
restored 1925 Ford Model T Runabout that is of course finished in
stunning black exterior. This little Model T Runabout is such a
lovely jewel piece! Its paint and trim are in nearly excellent
condition thanks to a full professional restoration and the car
still retains its steel body and fenders. The windshield, which is
horizontally split, is in very good order. The car's lights are in
good shape, as are the cowl lights, which are shaped like a pair of
lanterns. The black wooden spoke wheels with Ford center caps look
very good while the Goodyear whitewall tires, size 4.50-21 at all
four corners, are in good order. All of the body panels are in
great shape, solid and straight. The roadster's black folding roof
glistens in the light. The engine bay is in good shape and the
front bumper looks excellent. The running boards are in excellent
condition. Inside, the black bench seat is excellent while the
floor beneath the driver and passenger has a black rubberized floor
mat. The black instrument panel looks fantastic while the
four-spoke black steering wheel is in very good order. The inner
door panels and shift lever are in good shape. Under the small hood
is a 177 CID inline four-cylinder engine, with a two-speed
planetary transmission. The Model T's transmission was controlled
with three foot pedals and a lever that was mounted to the road
side of the driver's seat. The�throttle�was controlled with a lever
on the�steering wheel. The left pedal was used to engage the gear.
With the floor lever in either the mid position or fully forward
and the pedal pressed and held forward the car entered low gear.
When held in an intermediate position the car was in neutral. If
the left pedal was released, the Model T entered high gear, but
only when the lever was fully forward - in any other position the
pedal would only move up as far as the central neutral position.
This allowed the car to be held in neutral while the driver cranked
the engine by hand. The car could thus cruise without the driver
having to press any of the pedals. There was no separate�clutch
pedal. When the car was in neutral, the middle pedal was used to
engage reverse gear, and the right pedal operated the transmission
brake - there were no separate brakes on the wheels. The floor
lever also controlled the�parking brake, which was activated by
pulling the lever all the way back. This doubled as an emergency
brake. Body changes to the 1923 Tin Lizzie included the taper of
the hood was increased and the rear section at the firewall is
about an inch taller and several inches wider than the previous
design. Competition to this Ford in 1925 included Chevrolet's
Superior Series K Roadster, Oakland's Sport Roadster and Dodge's
Sports Roadster. This car is currently located at our facility in
St. Louis, Missouri. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and
clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! VIN: 10896561
