***SOLD*** 1922/23 Touring, $10,500.00

1922-23 Model T Touring, titled as a 1926 (the engine is a wide band 1926, engine number 12521890, October 1925)

A little over three years ago I bought this from the estate of a man who built and owned many, many Model T’s, but this was the only one he kept for himself.

It starts, runs and drives very well and I have enjoyed many hours toddling around town. No over heating, no back firing. No oil leaks to speak of (I used A LOT of The Right Stuff putting the engine back together!), but the U joint occasionally marks its territory.

Modifications and repairs/upgrades over the past three years in no particular order:

Sure-Stop hydraulic disc brakes with DOT 5 silicone brake fluid
Rebuilt NH carburetor
I-Timer
New coils by Brent Mize
Prus high compression head
Champion X spark plugs
5:1 ratio steering gear and shaft
Front wheel bearings repacked
New exhaust pipe, pack nut, and muffler
Tail lights, brake lights, and turn signals, front and rear
Custom switchplate
Kevlar bands
Original steel clutch pack thoroughly cleaned and reassembled
Drivers and passenger side inside oil lines
Mahogany steering wheel and matching Ruckstell shift knob by Kevin Allen
All wiring replaced with wire harnesses from Snyders except the battery ground and starter cables which I fabricated myself from 2/0 cable.
Nurex cutout
Apco ball caps

I’ve been a very good Model T’er in that I have thrown away NOTHING and all of the parts and most of the Model T specific tools will go with it. Or pick and choose what you want.

What needs attention:
The top is a bit of an eyesore and could use replacement, but it’s not absolutely necessary if you’re just using it as a shade. If it rains on you it does a fine job of directing all the water to the hole I put in it when I was extracting the steering shaft.

The paint has some blemishes and could use a few touch ups but it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
If I were keeping it these are the things that I would do. And clean up the turn signal wires at the bottom of the steering column.

Well, that sucks that you're selling your Model T, Scott. Good luck on the sale and I hope you keep Model T ownership in your future plans.

No, not at all.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with this Model T, and I'd like to think I'm passing it on in better condition than when I got it. I had the chance to pull the engine, take the transmission apart, clean it up and put it back together, put the ignition system back to original, rebuild an NH carburetor, etc.

I had to research and learn how to do every one of those things; a hands on paper chase. I've loved every minute of it.

But I've reached the end of the line of things I'm capable of doing with it. Time to move on to something else I can turn wrenches on. Might be another Model T. Or a Model A. Or a 46-71 Jeep CJ. We'll see what comes along.
