Selling my 1926 Ford Model T custom touring hot rod, originally built back in the day then restored and sold in 2020. This is an all-steel touring body with full fenders, finished in matte black, and powered by a  rebuilt 2.0L Ford  inline-four paired with a rebuilt C-4 three-speed automatic and a later model rear.

This is a personal car that I have truly loved and enjoyed. It is fully sorted, thoughtfully built, and drives beautifully. It has the look and character of an old-school Model T, but with upgraded Ford drivetrain and running gear components that make it genuinely usable. Between the great MPG, comfortable ride and reliability in all my 15 years doing car restoration I have not come across and early ford hot rod this well sorted. The 4cyl is punchy and roars but simple and relatively quiet compared to a chevrolet v8. The all steel body and vintage roots of this machine make it very unique compared to many ford glass replica roasters or hybrid hackjobs found today. It does not have any issues and can be daily driven upon purchase despite being 100 years old.

Condition

The matte black paint presents extremely well and is in beautiful condition. There are minor imperfections consistent with an all-steel, nearly 100-year-old body, but the car shows very nicely overall. The underside has been blasted, coated, and painted, and presents as well as the top side of the car.

The interior is finished with late 60’s vintage diamond-stitched upholstery and has a clean traditional hot rod look. The only real interior flaws I can find are two small age tears along the edge of the rear bench.

Drivability

This car runs, drives, shifts, stops, and turns beautifully. It has never given me an issue. It runs cool even on grades, shifts smoothly, and has a light, lively, go-kart-like feel on the road. 

The larger-displacement four-cylinder keeps the essential Model T character while making the car much more usable than a glass bodied chevrolet v8 powered replica. It is also surprisingly efficient, with estimated mileage around 22-25+ mpg, making it a hot rod you can actually drive regularly without spending a fortune on fuel.

Mileage, Title & VIN

• Approximately 5,900 miles indicated since resto

• Clean California title in my name

• Currently registered

• Titled as a 1926 Ford

• VIN: 12491866, which aligns with a late-1925 production sequence
