1915 Ford Model T
This t was restored ( ground up) sometime in the 1990s. I purchased the car from the third owner ( a dealer ) 5 years ago and had it shipped to Michigan where Mark Eyre ( a well known model t restorer) installed Rocky Mountain brakes and did other minor repairs and tuneup. He also replaced the rear wheels with new wooden spokes as original on the rear rims. We also placed new tires on the rear wheels.
I spent approximatly $2700 on parts 2ith Mark.
Recently the car was worked on here in California ( Atascadero) where some local , well known, expert model t guys did more work . Below is a list of the work done:
1. engine removed, completely dissasembled, cleaned, inspected and repaired as needed. No major rebuilding of the motor was needed.
2. Starter installed which required a newer hogshead , a ring gear installed on the flywheel.
3. Magnetos were rebuilt.
4. 12 volt battery installed and wired the cowel lamps and taillight to run off the battery. Also the battery is charged off the magneto. A brakelight switch installed and wired to tail light.
5. transmission ( planetary repaired and adjusted as needed.
6. Coils were inspected and good.
I spent $2736 on parts at this time.
This t is an excellent example of an original car with minor modifications done to make it ready for touring. Namely the starter , outside brakes and stop light.
