Built by Famed restorer "Ed Coker"Meadow Vista California, with detailing by S0-Cal Speed shop in Sacramento.

There is probably not another Model “T” Speedster in the country that would surpass this example.

Everything about this build says professional with attention to detail second to none, even the seams have been filled smoothed and blended into the body. The rear boat tail is completely hand formed and balanced so well that it can be opened with just your fingers (after releasing the two latches). The turn signals are operated from a switch integrated into the stock dash. Braking is provided by 1940 Ford hydraulics. The Hood is from a 1928 Graham Page with Custom sides under which is a 1923 Model “T” Engine With “Snyders” high compression pistons and Model “T” Rods that were drilled for “Dippers”. A Model “A” Zenith Carb connected to a rare Zenith intake manifold provides the fuel. The Fuel tank (from a 1927 has a shutoff valve) and tool box resides in the rear boattail. Wheels are 1931 Model A truck rims with near new rubber. The body is 1923 Roadster Cab, and 1928 Model “A” Cowl With a seat that has been modified from a 1906 Buick, it is hinged over the battery. The Radiator cover is from a a 1929 “Overland 6”.  The Windshield has been shoetened and narrowed and does tilt. Headlights are from a 1928 Model “A” with Halogen bulbs.

This car starts instantly and purrs like a 6 cylinder, there is near instant throttle response and torque that will amaze you.
