A "one of a kind" 1926 Ford Model T Roadster Hot Rod. The unique roadster was custom fabricated 15 years ago, for an unspecified "Hollywood movie shoot." The seller calls the body "Model T style" rather than a replica of a Ford Model T. Power comes from a Chevrolet 2.8-liter V6, backed by a four-speed manual transmission.
*The model year of the Chevrolet 2.8-liter OHV V6 wasn't specified but the seller states that the engine only has 200 miles on it and it starts well, with a good idle and no smoke or leaks, the Edelbrock intake manifold holds twin two-barrel carburetors and the provided images show an aluminum radiator and chrome valve covers, four-speed manual transmission shifts "normally" in the seller's opinion, no issues were reported with the unspecified solid rear end, custom-fabricated metal body was channeled over the custom-built frame for a distinctive "low boy" or "track roadster" look. The doors are reverse hinged, "suicide" style, the Charcoal paint’s condition is rated as "excellent" by the seller, who adds that there are no noticeable body blemishes from 10 feet away, the three-piece hood has solid side panels and an opening in the top section for the carburetor air scoops, windshield has been chopped and the seller says the glass is good. There are no seal leaks, per the seller, the modified grille shell appears to have been sourced from a 1928-’29 Ford Model A, gas tank is concealed in a faux luggage trunk.
The minimalist seats appear to be folding boat seats and the black vinyl upholstery is in good condition as is the carpet, per the seller, Interior features are minimal, as the car has no heater, A/C, or stereo. The custom body-colored dashboard houses an array of white-faced functional gauges, a vintage accessory turn signal is mounted on the straight steering column, front suspension uses a dropped tube axle with a suicide-style front transverse spring and split "hairpin" radius rods, rear axle is mounted to a transverse Model T spring, four-wheel drum brakes stop the wire wheels and skinny tires, rear tires appear to be size 7.00-19 Excelsiors, but the front tire size and brand wasn't legible in the provided images.
