MODEL "T" SPEEDSTER (RARE BOAT TAIL "ARMADILLO" BODY).

1922 Ford Model T Description

Very rare bodied boat tail 1922 Ford Model T "Speedster" with Ruckstill two speed rear end, Rocky mountain aux brakes, rebuilt engine and transmission featuring A Texas T distributor, Texas T Alternator, leakless water pump, Model "A" intake and exhaust manifolds, Model "A" Zenith Carburetor, electric fuel pump, new spark plugs, 12 volt electrical conversion, electric starter, new "Snyders" 1927 steering gears and rod, Brass motometer with wing, new wiring, new rear brake light switch, Dual vintage brass bulb horns, aooga horn and wolf whistle.
New "Universal" ribbed all white tires including the spare, on red powder coated rims mounted to rebuilt hickory artillery wheels. The paint is 21 cots of hand rubbed lacquer over 3 coats of heavy primer over two coats of etching primer. one flaw in lower right panel of bot tail (not a major issue).
there are two brass rear view mirrors and a center mount rear mirror. There is a floor mounted battery kill switch, the car does not have a key. The headlight rims are brass and it has a unique 'circuit breaker' cutoff.
These bodies were made by a company in Salem Oregon in the 80's and it has been reported on the Model T Ford Forum (search MTFCA Armadillo) that only 17 were produced. This is number 14 as indicated by the number engraved on the bottom of the gas cap as was the manufacturers practice. I know of 6 more of these bodies that still exist most are still here in the North West.
This car is a real treat to drive, it starts instantly. purrs as a new car, and the shifting between low and high range is smoother than any Model T I have ever driven.
This car is not just a great driver, but a true investment as few cars are.
My warranty: I am so convinced of the satisfaction you will feel with this car, that if you buy it and live within 200 miles of Eugene and are not happy with the car, I will not only buy it back, I'll come and get it!

The 10 year old restoration statement was in error, it is actually only 8 years old, I guess the older I get the less my memory produces ;)
Here is a web page I made up while I was building the car. You will have to cut and paste the address into your browser to see it.
