Description:

1922 Ford Model T Street Rod

This is primarily a T-Bucketfiberglasskit car but it has a valid NJ title stating it is a 1922 model year and avin number stamped in the front frame cross member. I presume that part of the frame is from an original 1922 vehicle, but everything else is after market. I purchased the car as it sits today in 1990 and have done nothing to it other than change the oil & filter, fill it with gas and drive it a few times a year when the weather is good! It has always been garaged and it has always been registered with NJ antique car QQ plates. The car is drive-able as is but it is rough on fit and finish and some functions. It is not a show car quality build by any measure, but oddly enough it has won some trophies at car shows I have entered, "crowd favorite" and the dubious honor of "oldest car at show"!!!! It looks like it has seen some miles but it has a nice stance and visual balance of exaggeration with a big block chevy engine, narrow motorcycle wheels up front and 18" wide tires in the rear on a narrowed and chromed Jaguar swing axel rear, with in=board disk brakes. The drive train is a 454 chevy engine mated to a turbo 400 automatic transmission(as I am told) with a high tech Jaguar rear end that adds a lot style to the car. It is a great car for an occasional cautious fun drive or a project refresh or refinish or rebuild car! As a base for a project, all the pieces are there and probably much cheaper than individually buying them all new! This type of vehicle is all about style and show and raw power! It has no safety equipment and is not designed to withstand any type of vehicle accident. It performs best in a straight line and should only be driven by a mature adult who understands it's design limitations and handling characteristics! THE CAR IS SOLD AS IS!!
THE CAR IS ALSO LOCALLY ADVERTISED and I reserve the right to remove it from ebay if sold.
