Be prepared for the extra attention you are going to get when you pull up anywhere with this stunning 1930 Ford Roadster! This is a real Henry Ford steel roadster that was professionally built and is a national event show winner!

The smooth exterior is painted in a very unique Deep Amethyst Metallic with Orchid Pearl and Iris Mist accents throughout. This color is so rich it you will feel it in your sweet tooth! This paint scheme is paired with Budnik polished alloy wheels wrapped in BFG Radial tires, bar dropped commercial headlights on a chrome bar, 3-piece hood, rumble seat style trunk opening trunk! The 30 body is accented nicely by a 32 grille and shell, 32 chrome rear bumper, 32 taillights, 32 frame horn covers, and a slick 2″ chopped windshield really give it a custom touch.

Under the hood is anything but stock, a GM ZZ4 350 cubic inch V8 crate engine making far more power with better reliability than Henry could have imagined in 1930. There are so many chrome and custom painted parts under the hood you won’t be able to keep people away at a car show. It is truly stunning the amount of time and thought must have gone into this build! All the shifting is done courtesy of a GM 4 speed 700R4 automatic with overdrive mated to a Lokar shifter. Talk about a carefree cruiser!!

Peek under her skirt and you will quickly see that the undercarriage is just as nice as the exterior! Everything on this fully boxed rectangular frame is painted, polished, or chrome! It is completely TIG welded with every joint molded thanks to the crew at Deuces Northwest Street Rods. True dual exhaust rumbles from the S&S headers out through twin chrome exhaust tips exiting the rear of the car right down the center. For stopping, we have Wilwood front calipers and Cadillac rear discs with a Tilton Dual master cylinder and balance bar. The soft parts of the brake , fuel and transmission cooler lines are also stainless braided. 4 link coil over adjustable suspension in the rear gives you the ability to adjust the ride to your liking.

Inside the cab, and the rumble seat trunk area are covered in beautiful Vanilla leather. All the upholstery work was completed by Davlin Custom Upholstery. The 32 dash features classic script white faced VDO gauges, Denon CD stereo, custom package tray, Space saver compact heater, amp and subwoofer behind the seat and a Budnik steering wheel on a Brookville tilt column. The gorgeous black retractable canvas soft top is covered with Black Hartz cloth. Behind the seat is a hidden bulkhead containing the fuse panel, battery, speakers, amplifier, power antenna, and the brake fluid reservoirs. This show stopper is available now for a fraction of the build cost so call soon before it’s too late!

1925 Ford Model T Express Delivery

1925 Ford Model T Express Delivery

Price: 28,900.00 USD

1925 Ford Model T Express Delivery

The success of the mass-produced Ford Model T will forever be recorded in history books. With its launching in 1908, it was built in multiple styles through 1927. With generational design changes along the way, the Model T sold confidently each year as a practical, inexpensive vehicle affordable by almost any working individual with plenty of parts and service centers located just about anywhere you needed. Henry Ford continued to produce America’s affordable Model T at a rapid pace into the late 1920’s, averaging over 1 million units each year! The simplicity of the design, along with nine model choices to choose from, made Ford an easy choice for budget conscience buyers. In some cases, specialty bodies were supplied by independent coach builders to suit individual client requirements, especially in the commercial market.

In the case of this Model T offered here, the body was supplied by Kratzer Carriage Company who built quality, hand-crafted bodies specialized for use as delivery equipment. They were based in Des Moines, Iowa with over 20 distributors throughout the entire state. Their bodies were sold totally constructed using top-grade materials, complete with paint and pinstriping to the buyer’s discretion, and 100% ready to simply bolt onto a Ford chassis.

This Model T offered here is fitted with their Express Type Delivery Truck body. Note the twin hinged doors on both sides with special handle locks when closed & body side retainers to hold them open when necessary; two drop side windows and a rear sliding window for extra ventilation; as well as upper and lower front windshields that also pivot to allow air flow from the front. The seatback cleverly hides coiled springs behind the cushion for added comfort to the driver on longer voyages. At the rear, you will find a flat bed with stained wood planks along with a special, fully boxed enclosure for hauling payloads more securely. Atop each side rail are removable display billboards that can be later personalized to your own taste, along with a folding and removable rear tailgate panel to unload cargo with ease!

This beautiful 1925 Ford Model T Express Delivery Truck was restored many years ago and continues to look and drive truly excellent! Under the hood remains a period correct 177ci Inline 4-cylinder engine rated at approximately 20 horsepower mated to a 2-speed planetary transmission. Our example here was further enhanced with a Rocky Mountain 6-speed transmission which triples the gearing range of the Ford transmission with an Under Drive, Direct Drive, and an Overdrive option for each of the forward gears, even reverse. According to Rocky Mountain literature, this provided 85% more pulling power, and 25% higher top end speed for traveling. They are extremely durable and have a proven industry history.

Other features on this incredibly special Model T include oil wick cowl lamps and rear stop lamp, electric headlamps with Ford lenses, added electric taillamps, auxiliary water pump, electric horn and a brass bulb horn, Ford amp meter, Boyce winged motometer, wood steering wheel, and interior rubber floor mat. This Model T has a documented history dating back to 1960 while still being shown and enjoyed in the Iowa region. It would migrate to Omaha, Nebraska in 1967 where it would earn top honors at the Omaha Antique Auto Hall of Fame Show, and later featured in the Sunday World-Herald Magazine of the Midlands in July 1971 as part of an article highlighting Omaha’s Centennial Model T Club.

Upon arrival to the St. Louis Car Museum & Sales, our service team performed a comprehensive inspection. We ultimately replaced the older gas tank for a brand new unit, sediment bowl with shut-off valve, and drain petcock; rebuilt the carburetor with steel needle & seat, bowl shim, spray nozzle, and gasket set; brand new water pump, connection pipe, hoses & clamps; new 180 degree thermostat, new fluids and oils from the radiator the rear axle; transmission oil screen and cover door gasket; and new ignition switch. It runs absolutely amazing and is ready for the next owner to show with tremendous pride! A Model T in this condition will never last long! Please call with any questions or to schedule your chance to review it in person.

1929 Ford Model A

1929 Model A Ford 4door sedan, This car is only driven locally once or twice a month in warmer weather. Grey and Black exterior and interior. 16,476 miles since Engine overhaul and car nicely cleaned up to its current beautiful condition. New 6 volt generator at engine overhaul. fairly new battery and starter just a couple of hundred miles ago. Upgraded steering so there’s no wandering. Driver side electric windshield wiper. As the pictures show there is a spare tire on the back of the car. Payment should be cash when picked up, unless you are okay paying through ebay/paypal prior to pickup. I personally think this car to be a 2.5 on the antique car condition scale. just to keep ebay off my back this car is “as is, where is, no warranty, no guarantee, no refund, no return”. ebay listing doesn’t have an option for removing “Caramel” payment, so heads up I don’t do Caramel.

Happy Bidding.

Old school T-Bucket that runs well. Has had minor work done to it. Replaced ignition coil, intake gasket and battery. Transmission does have a minor leak. Will need work on the brakes and steering. Small engine oil pressure sensor leak. Fuel tank has been restored and mounted down. Shut off valve on the rear brake line for optional burnouts.

1912 Ford Model T Speedster

1912 Ford Model T Speedster

Price: 39,900.00 USD

1912 Ford Model T Speedster

Since the earliest of time, the automotive world created enthusiast engineers with a steadfast need to go faster, higher, and further than before. As the “horseless carriage” became more mainstream throughout the world in the early 1900’s, finding ways to produce more horsepower and speed was almost instantaneous! Not unlike today, drivers enjoy the thrill of racing their automobiles at the edge of their capabilities! The Ford Model T platform was clearly one of the most abundant chassis available, and making one go faster simply meant reducing weight and adding some under-hood tweaks for more top speed. Motor clubs would challenge each other in community racing events and hill climbs to be rewarded for both for their speed and driving skill. These minimalist vehicles become known as Speedsters, and they come in all varieties, with the Model T always being a favorite for us!

We are proud to offer this beautifully crafted 1912 Model T Speedster finished in classic White with Burgundy diamond-tufted leather seats and matching wire wheels and accent pinstriping. It comes very well dressed in brass appointments and built to be driven in confidence! Under the hood is a fully rebuilt, June 1927-dated 177ci Inine 4-cylinder engine allowing for the convenience of an electric starter, mated to a rebuilt Ford planetary 2-speed transmission. The steel body and cowl were assembled by Model T Speedster expert Tom Butterworth using Rootlieb curved top fenders, running boards, splash aprons, and Torpedo hood. Behind the two bucket seats rests a Rootlieb Ford-script oval gas tank also painted to match. It rides on brand new, and highly desired, Buffalo wire wheels all fitted with new Firestone tires (5) measuring 30 x 3½” in 2021.

Driving upgrades include 12-volt negative ground generator charging system with modern Texas T Parts distributor (T3161) with individual coil, Texas T water pump, Brassworks flat tube radiator, electric starter, and Holley NH carburetor. Additional features include leather hood strap, beautiful reproduction E&J brass headlamps with halogen bulb conversion, traditional wick side lamps, and taillamps converted to brighter LED bulbs. It has an original E&J brass spotlight that was converted to LED lighting. It is a beautifully crafted Speedster with brass-trimmed steering column, brass gear assembly with 1911 Torpedo-style mounting assembly, monocle windshield, and brass “Fat Man” tilt steering wheel. Additional body elements include bulb horn, solid basket-style rear trunk, restored 1912 Stewart Model 26 gear driven speedometer, beautifully finished wood dash and floorboards, and Ford ammeter installed at the top of the original wooden coil box.

While in the care of its most recent owner, it was treated to a complete comprehensive servicing in 2021 to include radiator flush with new hoses/clamps, new carb gaskets, new engine oil, spark plugs/wires, brand new tires, rebuilding of the Stewart mph gauge by Bill’s Speedometer Ship in Ohio, new muffler and heat wrap, modern lighting conversion, axle seals & grease lubrication, transmission cover door gasket, u-joint mounting bolts, and starter drive cover gasket. It starts with terrific ease and runs smoothly down the road as fast as you desire! Also included in the sale will be spare parts, tools, Buffalo wheel hex nut wrench and rear hub puller, reproduction “instruction handbook”, workshop literature, and parts receipts. Please call with additional questions or to schedule a chance to review it in person. A great addition to any collection!
