1932 Ford Model T 3-Door Touring (Phaeton) Street Rod - All Steel!

Amazing 1923 Ford MODEL T 3-Door Touring (Phaeton)!

Plan to Bring Home a Trophy at the Next Show You Enter!

One look at this beauty and you'll immediately recognize the attention to detail. and the care & craftsmanship that it took to restore this gorgeous resto-rod! Yes. '23 Ford 3 Door's are rare enough. but you may have never seen one like this before.   a 200 HP fuel injected '93 Chevrolet VORTEC V-6 engine. this classic T is not just to look at. it's made to DRIVE!  Built by a Father/Son team in the early 2000's. of which one was a top restorer at a nationally recognized North/Eastern Rod shop.   Now. this labor of love can be yours.   

The original metal over wood frame has been painstakingly replaced with an all steel frame. The body is 100% STEEL. nbsp;with a custom made hood. radiator shell. hood sides. wheel wells. trunk. and more. All the rear body seams have been filled. The body has been flawlessly widened by 2. 5” (in-distinguishable!) for added comfort. and the windshield was chopped 3”. The three doors open with modern push-button ease - and close with a Mercedes quality 'click'!  She is painted with gorgeous Brandy Wine metallic BC/CC (base-coat clear-coat) paint borrowed from the '99 Lexus palate.  The tan canvas custom top is easily removable. or you can use with the carefully crafted ‘Isinglass' side curtains for an enclosed trip. The interior is impeccably stitched in a complimentary 2-tone color ultra leather.  The chrome bezel custom gauges. Lokar floor shifter. emergency brake. illuminated gear indicator. Ididit polished aluminum tilt steering column and much more complement this refined interior.

The mechanics of this Model T are just as impressive as the rest of the build! With 200HP VORTEC V-6 and Turbo 350 automatic. she is ready to please. The engine has Sanderson headers and ceramic coated dual exhaust. She has all new wiring. the engine computer. and an Optima battery all carefully tucked under the front seat.   You'll find Alden coil overs on the front (with a dropped axle) and rear both . She is cooled by a custom Walker radiator with an electric cooling fan.   And she sports a Pete & Jakes 4-bar front and rear suspension. with a custom made torsion bar in the rear.  Goodyear 255-15 (rear) and 195-15 (front) tires wrap the Wheel Vintique wire wheels.   Of course front disc and rear drum brakes. with stainless steel brake lines to stop her. and her custom stainless steel gas tank was made by Rock Valley Custom.

There is so much more to see and tell. This is an impressive vehicle and is ready to be shown and enjoyed! (this information as provided by the builder. as I purchased the car finished in 2007).   What I can add is this is an incredible quality build. one that would cost 2X my reserve to duplicate.   You can drive the car anywhere. anytime. with confidence.  It can sit for months. and start up without touching anything but the key!  In fact. it has accumulated nearly 10. 00 miles since built. although the condition reflects more like 500 miles!  It is babied. inside and out!  Another nice feature is that the matching trunk is not permanently mounted. but rather mounted via a small trailer receiver hitch. so if you prefer to pull a trailer. you're ready!  And how about a reserve UNDER 35K!!!

HISTORY:  I purchased this car in 2007 from a well regarded Michigan dealer.   They were selling it for the original builder. who had put over 9. 00 babied miles on it in only a few years. showing it at a number of East Coast shows.   The car was certainly built to be driven. and it was!  Unfortunately. I never had the time to give her the same courtesy. so this sweet RestoRod is virtually UNKNOWN here on the West Coast!  I have only taken to 3-4 small local shows. and driven it in a few parades.   It's never been to a Good-Guys or NSRA show west of the Rockies. but it could easily drive to any one of them if you wanted.   The reality is. I have 15 cars. and I've come to accept that it is time to thin the herd and simplify life.   And it's time for someone else to enjoy her and show her off.

TITLE:  Clear. California title (as a 1923 Ford). in my name.   Currently registered and insured.   If you are a sincere buyer. you can call or email me.   My name is Scott. and I welcome questions thru ebay. or at hotrodranch@live. com.   Or call me at eight 0 five - 3 nine 1 - 0509. (again. that is 805 - three nine one - 0509 - trying to avoid the automated telemarketer calls!). or email me directly at hotrodranch@live. com.   I am happy to answer any questions about this car. or any of my other cars that will be going up for sale soon also.   I only request that you ask questions BEFORE you bid!

LOCATION:  The car is located in Paso Robles CA (Central Coast. exactly between San Francisco and Los Angeles on the CA Hwy 101).   This area is quickly becoming the next Napa Valley. with a number of world renowned wineries.   Fly in to San Luis Obispo (25 miles south of me). and drive this little beauty home! 

OTHER CARS:  I am trying to thin my collection from 15+/- cars down to maybe 8-10 cars. so look for my other auctions. or ask for info.   I will soon be listing (or already have listed) a handful of 1932-1933 GM cars ('32 Buick Victoria. '33 Buick Victoria. '33 Pontiac Victoria. and a tremendous 1950 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday resto-mod coupe.

Thanks for checking out this lovely car that I affectionately call. "Lizzy".

The Ultimate Street Rod / Resto Rod / Resto-Rod!

On Aug-23-16 at 08:52:54 PDT. seller added the following information:

Sorry folks. it has been called to my attention that I have this noted in the year built as a 1932 instead of a 1923 Ford.   I guess my dyslexia kicked in as I was rushing to upload the listing.   Problem is. this is a fixed category on the listing now that the auction has started and it won't let me change it.   Sorry for any confusion. but this is clearly not a 1932. but rather a 1923 Ford (not that any of you were thinking otherwise ;).
