Listing Description

An incredible amazing Work of Art and Perfection! Every now and then you find a real gem that just takes your breath away! You know one of those classics that you can't stop looking at! This is one of those cars! Irresistible and Perfection are big words that are hard to live up too! A very special tribute by a True Craftsman of an Automotive Era gone by, indeed! I just could not stop taking the photo's as I ripped off over 100 and posted almost 60 of them for your viewing pleasure! 3 Full Web-Pages! While every Classic is special in it's own way, I found this one to be in the "Top 10" of the Hundreds of Cars I have listed over the past few years! The Reason? It's Incredible Quality, Attention to Detail, Character, Original Feel and Genuine Presence was enough to have even me talk'n to myself! Now I know that's stepping out on a limb but it's true! Truly a Work of Art! With all That Said, What else can I say? Read the rest of the story!

Fresh with less than a few miles (yes 2) and Painstakingly Built by a Son for His Father who is not able to enjoy it and it must go to make room in the Garage for the next creation! A true labor of Love, Creativity and Attention to Detail! You must look at all of the Pictures and be aware that it is better in person!

The Popular Wood Body Tub was completely hand built new with beautiful hand-cut-built Cherry Wood: Firewall, Floorboards, Cargo Box and Coil Box! All new steel Rootlieb's reproduction fenders, running boards, shields, aluminum hood, brass head-lamps, cowl-lamps and tail-lamps! All metal surface's are finished in "Show Quality" PPG Deltron and every ounce of BRASS is hand polished, Perfect! For safety and functionality, the entire lighting system has been electrically 12 volt powered and custom mini turn signal's where machined out of chunks of brass! A Brassworke's 1912 Flat Tube radiator with Moto-Meter and Speedster Hood Ornament, nicely completes the nose! The Foldable convertible top is equipped with a roll-up rear curtain!

Now get out of the Sun and sit on fine Button Tuck White Leather! The detailed Interior is completed with: Gold Plated emergency brake handle, Brass Wind-Screen frame, Bronze Carriage Bolts, Brass Hardware and Brass Acorn Nuts! Rest your hands on a Brass/Mahogany Spider Steering wheel with Brass Steering Gear Case, Cover Quadrant, and Column Support! Let em know you are coming, with an Original 1907 Rubes Bulb Horn! Spectacular!!!!

Let's wind up with the Power and Chassis End of this Jewel! Everything was assembled to "Perfection" with operation in mind while retaining it's vintage style! The front engine crank is in place with a brass handle and wrapped in a black leather cover! But, you won't need to crank it! A completely rebuilt late model 1925 "T" engine resides under the hood equipped with: Bosch Distributor & Plate, Texas T Water Pump, 12 Volt Alternator, Electric Starter, Connecting Rods with Oil Dippers, Electric Oil Lubrication Pump and a custom built Bronze Water Outlet for the high head! The Transmission was custom built with Turbo 400 Clutch Discs, Kevlar Bands and Ball Bearing Ball Cap! Out back and receiving the vintage power is a 1915 rear axle housing with: New Drive-shaft & Axles, accessory inner/outer wheel bearings, adjustable pinion bearing assembly and 3 to 1 ring/pinion gears! The Frame and Axle with Radius Arms are circa 1920! Put the Binders on with Rocky Mountain Brakes! Finally, let the rubber meet the raod! 1912 Non-Demountable Hickory Spoked Wheels with New Powder Coated McClaren rims with Full Tread White Rubber!

In Closing, this VERY SPECIAL Vintage Iron is truly an enjoyable experience for all who will see her! A perfect show piece that would make a great addition to any collection, a Dealers Showroom display, a Company Parade Rig, a Great Museum Piece and/or just for fun!! With nearly $25,000 spent on parts alone the labor is basically free! Be the envy of any Model T Club! SHOCKING DETAIL! You will not be disappointed.
