Sharp 1914 Model T Ford Touring Car- A Century Old! on 2040-cars

Up for auction is a super sharp 1914 Model T Ford Touring car. 1914 was the first year of the complete moving assembly used by Ford Motor Company. This car was ground off restored in the late 80s or early 90s and a rebuilt 1916 engine was installed at that time. The body is glass smooth and laser straight. There are a few crackling areas in the paint but not many- a very good driver quality paint job.  Good solid top with diamond seated upholstery with normal wear from usage. The car starts, stops and drives like a stock Model T should. New safety glass in the windshield. Cotton bands in the trans work well- all fluids have been changed and the entire rear axle was recently overhauled with new bronze thrust washers and new lined brakes.

Good solid tight wooden wheels, good tires and tubes, solid running gear with a reinforced above axle wishbone for safety. Good sparking coils and all new hoses and recently cleaned original working radiator. I added a new KW timer for superior spark and then cleaned and rebuilt the carburetor. Has the rarer Wilmo combined exhaust and intake manifold for heated air intake. I can pull twice on the crank choked and either get a free-start or just 1-2 pulls more on the crank and she’ll kick over with battery assist. No smoke nor knock in the motor.

I enjoy this car but am looking to get something a little later. Aluminum hood, working bulb brass Rubes horn, and all matching tail, side-lamps and headlamps make this a really nice complete 1914 car to be proud of. Car comes with an original running board tool box, spare battery for the coils and an original acetylene generator mounted on the running boards. From what I can tell- all correct running gear except for the front spring- that's a later taper style, rear spring is the true 1914 rounded style.

Winner to pay a non-refundable $500 due at auction close through PayPal and balance is due upon pick-up of car. A bank wire transfer is safest for both parties, and is really preferred, although cash will work as well. If the winner wants to do PayPal we’ll need to chat about that option. Please ask any and all questions ahead of time; I do not have the ability to deliver, sorry. I have a clean title in my name matching the engine number. Thanks for looking!
