That's a Ford I'd actually buy, very cool old car.

"1927 Ford track T racer, all steel, street legal with a GMC 228 Six and a three speed standard transmission. It should be illegal to have as much fun as this car provides ! $17,900"

'round these parts, they want two taillights......


Don't know about a stock looking jimmy six, though.
One would think, for a quasi-trackster, it would have had multiple cabs, split manifold, offy valve cover, you know, the "stuff".


Interesting "crank" to the shifter....

Cars registered here aren't subject to any inspections, so a single taillight would be ok. My Model A truck has the stock setup (one taillight). I'm in the process of adding a second taillight & signal lights all around for obvious safety reasons.

Yeah - I thought the bent shifter looked out of place with the nicely shaped bodywork, although it evokes similar shift levers on dirt track racers.

I agree re the stock appearing engine but I bet the new owner has fun dealing with <span style="font-style: italic">that</span> little problem.

pretty sure in these parts the inspection covers what it originally had - so, if originally one taillight, that's OK

That is fantastic. I'd love to build something like that. Maybe non Ford to be different.

NYS would allow a '27 to have only 1 taillight.
I like!!!!
