Description

1926 Model T Speedster. This car was listed on ebay last fall and I won it with the intention of improving it and then re-listing it. It had steering and clutch issues that I addressed. A modified tie rod was added and the complete steering mechanism was gone thru and adjusted. It is now much smoother and reacts instantly to the drivers input. I als replaced the Clutch lever adjustment screw and nut, rake rod clevis pin, low speed connection, Slow speed connection clevis, otter pins and nuts. the complete mechanism was then adjusted to provide a much smoother engagement of the transmission bands and a better neutral. The brakes were also adjusted. The body was color sanded and then buffed to a show car luster. I replaced the floor starter button with a solenoid operated push to start button located on the dash. Being over six feet tall, was a bit cramped in the cockpit, o I replaced the seat back with one considerably thinner. I am now quite comfortable in the seat (the original seat back will accompany the car). The car was lowered to begin with, nd I lowered it an additional 1" both front and back. The Ruckstell shift lever was positioned such that it interfered with smooth braking with my right foot, o I re positioned it and it no longer is an issue.
Here is a list of additions to the car:
  • 6 volt battery converted to positive ground.
  • 6 volt Alternator.
  • Electric fuel pump with dash on/off switch.
  • Solenoid actuated push to start button on dash.
  • Stromberg down draft carburetor on custom intake manifold.
  • Custom header wrapped to prevent burns.
  • Tru-Fire ignition system.
  • New plug wires.
  • New Stainless steel valves, prings and retainers.
  • New rear brakes (emergency).
  • Head resurfaced.
  • Electric start.
  • New transmission bands.
  • New complete clutch/neutral linkage.
  • New step on drivers side.
  • Freshly adjusted steering, ransmission,brakes and clutch.
  • Original windshield reduced in height, rame painted and reinstalled. Easily removed (10 minutes) if desired.
  • Ruckstell two speed rear axel!
  • Locking trunk door with usable storage beneath.
  • Spare tire and wheel.
  • Two seat backs.
  • Tires in near new condition.
  • Color sanded and buffed paint.
  • All lights function.
  • Horn works.
  • Ammeter works.
  • I'm probably forgetting a few things, ut will add as I remember.
    I will also put up a video of it running and one of it being driven once the rain stops.
    The car is located in Eugene, regon and is being offered for sale here, o the auction may end at any time.
    Please check out my previous car sales, have sold a few and always received very good responses from the buyers. I am not a dealer, just like speedsters and like working on them even more.I think this is the 8th one I have owned and still have two others in my collection. They can be seen here: customfurniture.net
    Good luck with your bidding and happy speeding ;)
