Ford Model T 1927 Description

I am selling my 27 Ford five window Model coupe, teel body, hopped and channeled Model T at NO RESERVE!
I have spent years since I acquired the car going through and making it run and drive excellent. I am not the original builder but I have owned the car for several years. This is a hot rod…. not a rat rod… not a show car either, t’s just a nice little hot rod that wants to be cruised and shown at your local rod runs. It’s bare bones, tripped down, ough around the edges.... it's only what you need and a fun as hell, ttention grabbing rod.

I am only selling because I need to. I am starting my own business and money is more important that toys right now, o absolutely no trades will be considered. Here are the details…

Driveline

  • Small block Chevy, ileage unknown. I don't know what has been done to the motor as I have never had it apart. It runs like it has a mild cam, ut no idea if it's been bored, troke, eadwork, tc.
  • Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold.
  • Holley 600 4 BBL with electric choke and stainless throttle rod (new).
  • Electronic ignition with coil located under the dash.
  • I believe it's gear driven however I can’t confirm as I have not taken of the timing cover, ut when you hear a SBC that sounds blown, ut isn’t, t usually means it has a gear drive (new).

They sound awesome and are completely tunable by removing or adding packing material.

  • Aluminum valve covers with new lathe turned breathers (look like vintage Cal Customs, ut not sure).

  • The body is decent but like I said... this is not a show car, ust a nice little hot rod.
  • It was painted over year ago paint is baby blue paint by Justin Vincent Kustoms out of Seattle, A (the car used to be PPG DP40LF but thought the semi-gloss would add a little style to a flat blue primer) … the DP was sanded down and used as the base for the new paint.
  • Louvered rear deck lid (factory Ford steel) with chrome spoon clasps and riveted So Cal Speed Shop badge.
  • The antennae and license plate have been frenched in.

  • Cast aluminum headlight stanchions.
