Ford : Model T Standard 1924 ford model tt one ton truck excellent condition
$14,750
Burlington, Illinois
1924 Ford Model TT one ton tanker truck, great condition, runs excellent, with Ruckstell rear end along with standard Model T planetary transmission. When I purchased this truck, it arrived in good condition as it appeared from 10 feet, but upon close and thorough mechanical inspection, a great many undisclosed problems, shortcomings, missing major components and shoddy workmanship were discovered. I have subsequently corrected these problems, and since my purchase in October 2014, I have performed the following on this truck: Removed the old leaking carburetor and installed a freshly rebuilt NH carburetorMost of the electrical wiring has been replaced, to include lights, timer, ignition. The horn wires and battery to starter cable was in good shape and was not replaced.The emergency brake shoes and linkages were missing, I replaced the entire emergency brake system to include shoes, pads, linkages.The truck had an inferior distributor and coil conversion, I removed this system and returned it to original rebuilt buzz coils and new ignition timer and ignition wires.The ignition was jerry rigged by an amatuer mechanic to run the engine only if the lights were turned on with a jump wire, since no ignition key was sold with the vehicle. I obtained the correct key, and returned the ignition to standard Ford configuration.The truck was missing the hood and both doors, I installed new hood and installed new wood doors with original-type Model T hardware.The leaking and corroded exhaust system was replaced, including the manifold, exhaust pipe, tail pipe and muffler.The existing slipshod floorboards were replaced with correctly configured plywood and poplar materials.The driveshaft pulley was terribly bent and out of balance, and was replaced.A small 15" wooden poorly functioning aftermarket steering wheel was replaced with the original Fordite steering wheel, and the wobbly steering column was reinforced for improved stability.The previous owner claimed the following:New tires and tubes was claimed. I found some minor age cracks in the rear tires, but virtually no wear on them, and the front tires appear to have no wear, either. While these tires are not new, they have exceedingly low mileage if any mileage at all on them.Good front end was claimed. I discovered some movement in the tie rod bushings, but it shouldn't significantly impede the functioning of the front suspension system.Rebuilt engine with new babbitt bearings was claimed. I did not disassemble the engine to verify this, but when I ran it during my inspection it ran perfectly, with no noises, vibrations or visible emissions. I am pleased with the condition of the engine, and have no reason to doubt that it has been rebuilt with very little wear since its rebuild.The magneto was claimed to have been removed. I verified that there is no magneto function.The tank on the back is divided into three sections, with no valves at the bottom of each. Upon inspection, each tank has apparently been out of commission for an extended period, and all three sections would require sealing and valve installation prior to use. Since this vehicle is 90 years old, I would suspect that its days of hauling 300 gallons of oil/gas are well behind it, and I would not recommend trying to press this vehicle back into service unless the tanks have been completely redone, the leaf springs replaced and the wheel hubs replaced and wooden wheel spokes replaced at a minimum. My best guess as to its current capacity would be perhaps using only one of the three sections, or no more than 150 gallons, max. I discovered upon inspection a metal plaque indicating that this truck was at one time part of a truck fleet owned by Sinclair Refining Company. Although this could not be historically verified, all evidence present on the truck including the era correct tank suggests that it is entirely possible that this truck was original commissioned as a fuel hauler. Accordingly, I took the liberty in ordering Sinclair Dino gasoline decals for the tank. Although the decal itself was not available until 1934, recall that this would have been during the depths of the Great Depression, and rather than many companies ordering new 1930's Ford Model AA vehicles, it was exceedingly common that a truck fleet of 10 years old as this one would have been at the time was kept in service. IMPORTANT NOTE: I purchased this truck from an individual in Oklahoma and received a notarized bill of sale along with an Oklahoma title that had been filled in by the guy I bought it from as the new owner, but this individual never processed the title into his name. The eventual buyer needs to be aware that the title is in the name of two prior owners ago (including me), has been signed over to the last buyer, who subsequently provided me this unprocessed OK title along with a notarized bill of sale. UPON SALE, ONLY BILL OF SALE AND EXISTING OKLAHOMA TITLE WILL BE PROVIDED TO BUYER. IT WILL BE ENTIRELY THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ULTIMATE BUYER TO PROCESS THESE EXISTING DOCUMENTS FOR TITLING PURPOSES. NO OTHER DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE, AND NONE WILL BE PROVIDED OTHER THAN THESE TWO MENTIONED HERE. $1,500.00 nonrefundable deposit via PayPal required within 48 hours of sale, and the balance due within 7 days of sale. All funds must clear seller's bank prior to release of the vehicle to the buyer or buyer's agent for transport. Seller can assist the transport company with loading the vehicle onto buyer's trailer, but driving Model T's onto trailers is tricky and even the most experienced Model T drivers cannot warrant that they will not have issues loading these old cars into tight spaces typically present on car haulers. IMPORTANT NOTE: 1924 authentic Illinois truck license plates shown in photos are not included with the car, seller will remove them upon sale to ultimate purchaser prior to shipment.

Ford : Model T Standard 1925 ford model t coupe very original great condition recently restored
$14,750
Burlington, Illinois
1925 Ford Model T Coupe, excellent condition, recently restored. I purchased this car several months ago and it was in relatively good condition when I bought it, and appeared to have had an easy existence. Much of the car is original, several restoration/repair items have been performed to include: Engine has been disassembled and gone through for any significant problems. New rings were installed, valves were lapped and adjusted, bearing clearances were adjusted/shimmed to the specified 15/1000 inch clearnce, cylinder head was resurfaced, new nickel plated head bolts and copper gasket installed.All tires including spare have virtually zero miles on them, although they were installed at some point in the past by the previous owner(s), and are road ready. The rims have been serviced to insure reliability and all wood spokes have been checked for tightness and re-varnished with 4 coats of spar varnish.New radiator installedMinor upholstery upgrades, although the existing upholstery is in very good condition with no tears or fraying apparent.Fresh trunk liner and carpet installedDoor panels re-upholsteredAll windows adjusted, serviced, lubricated and all 5 moving windows function as they shouldCarburetor rebuiltGenerator cleaned and brushes cleaned and reinstalled for maximum performanceThis nicely restored car runs, cools, stops and starts as it should, all systems function well and it is a reliable touring vehicle, although it does not appear to have excessive mileage on most of the components of the vehicle. Minor issues include a few oil leaks (standard on all Model T's), non-original horn although era correct. Sold on an 'as is, where is' basis with bill of sale only and Alabama registration certificate. I purchased this car from an individual in Alabama who provided the registration document but insisted that no title was issued for cars of this age by the State of Alabama. Accordingly, no title will be issued with sale, but likely the subsequent buyer will not have an issue registering this car and obtaining a title in states that require such documentation. $500.00 deposit via PayPal required within 48 hours of sale, and the balance due within 7 days of sale. All funds must clear seller's bank prior to release of the vehicle to the buyer or buyer's agent for transport. Seller can assist the transport company with loading the vehicle onto buyer's trailer, but driving Model T's onto trailers is tricky and even the most experienced Model T drivers cannot warrant that they will not have issues loading these old cars into tight spaces typically present on car haulers.
