Ford "T" Speedster

I'm a big fan of Ford Model T and Model A Speedster. They were like the Lotus Seven of pre-war US cars.

~Click Here~ to see a nice article on one of these old "specials".

Here's a ~Slide Show~ from the article.

Re: Ford "T" Speedster

that is cool! sigh, I need way deeper pockets and way more room and a way more understanding wife and a way more understanding employer.
 
Re: Ford "T" Speedster

Very neat.

Model T bits aren't too expensive, JP. Just need to dive in and go!

trust me I'd love to - even know where one is, tragically I have already filled both the garage and her good graces. Besides, there is two or three (or more cars) higher up on the list.
 
Re: Ford "T" Speedster

Good to know where your limits are. I've got a one-car-at-a-time rule for just that reason.
 
Re: Ford "T" Speedster

I have a friend who finally has his Model T Speedster running (though no body yet) after starting the project back in high school. He recently retired...

Took him a while but it'll be a beautiful car when it's done.

One reason I think these are so popular is that the cars themselves are so easy & so much fun to work on. Everything is robust and there's plenty of room to swing a wrench (or hammer). And parts are plentiful and mostly cheap.

I'd love to build an A Speedster in the style of a Bugatti T35, like the one below.

Many, more Ford speedsters here:

I like THAT! But I don't think I'd like grabbing that parking brake handle after a couple hour drive! Ouch...hot,hot,hot!

This just showed up on Kijiji - not crazy about the windshield, but I love the back half.
