Sold Inventory 1921 Ford Model T Speedster MotoeXotica is offering this great little Model T Speedster. This 1921 Ford Model T Speedster is a great little piece that is sure to draw tons of attention and looks at your next parade. This little Model T drives down the road and DOES run. The transmission currently does not go fully into neutral which is not uncommon for these cars. The paint is in good condition overall with only some minor imperfections. The most notable is to the rear trunk area where there is some cracking around the lid. The wood is solid and shows no rot. The seats both look great with all the wood in great condition on the inside as well. There has been two auxiliary switches installed under the drivers side seat that controls the starter and fuel pump. The oil lamps are both in good condition and both have newer wicks. The motor runs good but the transmission won’t fully disengage to the high position. It currently stays where neutral is. Low gear does run fine with no problems. The VIN number is 3118302. This is an electric start car and is on a 6 volt system. This pre war speedster is a ton of fun to drive. The brakes work well and the transmission performs as stated. The wood wheels are in great condition and are wrapped with bias ply tires that are in good overall condition with no dry rot or cracking. The pedals do need some getting used to because if you have never driven one of these cars you will need to go through the “Learning to drive the Model T 101” course. There are three pedals: one for the brakes and two controlling the transmission. The transmission is sort of a semiautomatic that Henry Ford thought would be easier to operate then a manual gearbox for all of those first time drivers. The left most pedal controls the gears. Low is all the way in; neutral is about halfway out and all the way out is high gear. The center pedal engages reverse while the left pedal is in neutral and the right pedal is the brake. The throttle is controlled with a lever behind the steering wheel while your left hand steers. Easy enough?? Class dismissed! Sold For: $8,600 |
