Details About Our Vintage, Ford Model T For Sale:

Available at the St. Louis Car Museum is a handsome, 1925 Model T fitted with an Express Type Delivery Truck body. Special features to note about this model are the twin hinged doors on both sides with special handle locks when closed and body side retainers to hold them open when necessary, along with, the two drop side windows and a rear sliding window for extra ventilation, and the upper + 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.

Our available 1925 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 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! A great addition to any collection!

History about Ford’s Model T:

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 the 1925 Model T example seen 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 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.

1923 Ford Model T Runabout

For consignment, a 1923 Ford Model T runabout, miles unknown, but what is known is that the frame off restoration was done at Petty’s Garage.  As in Richard Petty.  As in, NASCAR legend, Richard Petty.  And, as it turns out, Richard personally worked on this car and also autographed it. 

Exterior

Basic black covers this 1923 which the sales brochure boasts as “new low body lines” with a “bit of a European touch” and full crown fenders.  Even the belt that holds the hand crank is black, as is the radiator shell and the rounded, center hinged engine covers, louvered vertically on the sides and equipped with black handles.  The canvas top is in excellent condition and sports two square windows in back, just above the trunk space adorned with a single taillight.  The rim of the cabin reveals its influence from horse carriage by its rising back end and diminutive doors that enclose occupants after ages of being exposed to the elements.  These doors bear the name of a Vodka business.  Aluminum textured step plates dot the running board and provide grip for entering and exiting in damp weather while spectacular 30-inch wood spoke wheels show richly on the car.   No exterior imperfections to note here and it presents wonderfully.  

Interior

The column tufted black bench wraps occupants in a wide U-shaped loveseat and the driver has the pleasure of controlling the direction with a wood and metal 4 spoke steering wheel.  The ignition key port and one gauge is on the painted black dash, and that’s about it!  Below, beautifully stained wood is the finest flooring with cut outs and plates to house the pedals and hand brake.  The trunk is a simple painted square affair, and its lid bears the signatures of Richard Petty and Dale Inman, NASCAR crew chief. 

Drivetrain

Behind the engine cover is a clean, show worthy 177ci L-head inline 4 cylinder with a 1-barrel carburetor, yellow wires, and a 2-speed planetary transmission.  3.63 gears are found out back and transfers the 22 horsepower to the rear wheels, where mechanical drum brakes reside. 

Undercarriage

Clean and black and rust free, the underside is simple and unencumbered.  There’s a drop of oil here and there but for a car that’s 101 years old, we give it a pass as the presence of oil is minimal.  The single exhaust is stainless steel, so probably good for another 100 years, and exits just beyond the rear axle under the car.  

Drive-Ability

Choke, throttle, and spark adjusted, and this roadster fired up without complaint and rolled onto the test loop with 22 horses eagerly galloping along.  We’re not looking to do burnouts here, driving just enough to test the functionality and they all get passing grades.  While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. 

An impressive restoration from the garage of Richard Petty, this 1923 is a shining example of what commonly roamed the street 100 years ago.  Triple black enhanced by black grained wood, this showpiece would be an amazing addition to a Ford dealership showroom, a museum collection of early American cars, or even better, your garage!
