1925 Ford Model-T Triditional Hot Rod

  Up for auction is a neat little Model-T Roadster. This car was built in the early 80's by a talented builder who wanted his own  version of a car he had seen in an early 50's hot rod magazine (included in sell). In 1951 Johnny Cunningham built a very cool full fendered T that had a chopped windshield and cut down 1936 Ford Truck grille. It retained the original turtle deck and used 1934 Ford wire wheels with big and little tires. This car is an updated version of the Cunningham T. Since the car was built in the 1080's. there have not been many changes. owning to the quality and style of the original build. This is a finished car that needs nothing to enjoy right now. Just bump the key and go.

Body:

  It is a high quality early fiberglass T roadster body built by So-Cal. It has a functioning passenger door to ease getting in and out. The turtle deck and fenders are also fiberglass. They are very thick. high quality components. The fenders have steel tubing under them for support. The running boards are steel and are functional. They are supported by steel connection to the frame. The hood and side curtins are steel and handmade. while the grille is an original 1936 Ford truck grille that was chopped 1/4. The paint on the coar is from it's original build in the 80's and is showing some age. there are a few chips and blemishes. but it adds to the charm and character of the car. There are lots of neat little details to this car. such as the original Guide headlights to the tail light brackets that are made from Model-A lug wrenches. There is some clean modest pin-striping on the rear tail pan. The letter B on the number represents the class the early 50's hot rodders would use at the Bonnivelle salt flats for a normaly asperated 6 cylinder.

Chassis:

  This car is built on a handmade rectangular tube chassis. It uses transverse springs front and rear. The front axle is an un-dropped Model A unit using Model A brakes with a very thick hydraulic wheel cylinder conversion. The rear axle is a Ford 8" that is held in place by front 30's style wishbones that have been reinforced and inverted. Keeping with the traditional theme of the build the front of the car used Houdaille lever action shocks and an F-100 steering box. For rolling stock. it uses 1935 Ford 16" wire wheels with Coker Firestone tires. 7. 00x16 rear and 4. 50x16 fronts giving it a nice rubber rake. Its sits low and cool. I had built a wooden Model-T truck bed that is real easy to swap with turtle deck and gives it another cool look. Just remove four nuts and unplug wires. lift off turtle deck set on the wood truck bed install two nuts. wo screws. nbsp;plug light wires in and go. inside of truck bed lifts up for access to battery and fuel tank. tailgate works as well.

Drive Train:

  Since it was a must to have a hood on this car. a compact 2. 6Lt. V6 was chosen for motivation. It is backed by a 4 speed manual transmission with Hurst linkage. This drive train is super reliable. exhaust has two glass packs. giving the car a great sound that turns heads. It has a 10 gallon fuel tank and gets excellent fuel economy. The four speed transmission makes the car  a blast to drive. Its will run highway speeds. but don't expect it to set any records in the 1/4 mile. This is a get out and cruise the Parks. Beaches. trips kind of car. Its just flat out Cool.

Interior:

  The interior has a two-tone vinyl done in tuck and roll. It was done several years ago. and shows some age. but is still very presentable and comfortable. No tears. It seats 2 adults comfortably. the functioning door makes it easy to get in and out of. the dash is wood adn uses all  Stewart Warner instruments including a working tach and speedometer. This T is a bare bones hot rod and does not have A/C. Heat. or a radio. I am 6'2"  220# with a 35" inseam (long legs) and fit just fine behind the wheel.

  This car has been on the road for several years and has had all the bugs worked out of it. It is a no excuses traditional hot rod that gathers a crowd every place it goes. The car needs nothing to enjoy right now. you can jump in and drive this car anywhere. It runs great and gets great fuel mileage. It is priced to sell fast. It would be a great car for anyone looking to get into the car hobby or someone who wants something really unique for their collection. Car has a clear Florida title and titled as a 1985.
