Description:
1919 Ford Model T
Henry is a well-appointed and modernized Model T Ford, 6-seat Station Hack. When I bought it a couple of years ago, it was represented to me as a 1919 model, and I have no reason to doubt that, although it does not have (or come with) a title. The engine, however, has a serial number identifying it as from 1913 production. So, like all station hacks, Henry was undoubtedly put together from various kits and pieces, but I don't know when or where. But it all goes together well and is in great condition. . . . . . I bought Henry in anticipation of using it as VIP transport around my Quarry Gardens project (which you can visit on the web, QuarryGardensAtSchuyler.org) and set it up for the purpose, as you'll see, below. But my wife has decided that it will be too difficult for most of our generally "mature" VIP guests to get into and out of, so she wants to replace it with a couple of golf carts. . . . . . The car was in pretty good shape when I bought it. It had the usual set-up for 1919 of 6-volt battery and electric start, but NO generator, which was a bit of a pain for recharging. So I decided to modernize the starting system, after which one thing led to another so that over the next several months, every system was updated. Henry now has: • KC WARFORD 3-SPEED TRANSMISSION; • SURE-STOP DISK BRAKES; • FULL 12-VOLT CONVERSION, with ELECTRIC STARTER and ALTERNATOR; • "LEAKLESS" WATER PUMP. Then there are the usual jillion smaller things, including: • new steel gas tank; • foot throttle extension; • oil dipstick; • fixed, tempered windshield; • new front hubs; • many new bearings, bushings, and gaskets; • shackle sets, spindle belts, spring-loaded ball caps, thrust washers, axle sleeves, axle bearing caps, Snyder pedal extensions, etc. etc. . . . . . It all works fine, and Henry is ready to roll. It also has a brass bulb horn and a refurbished, original 1919 Virginia license plate. The tires, radiator, floor boards and dashboard switches, and chrome dog-bone Moto Meter are all new or recent. Because of the modernized systems, Henry will never be a show car, but lacks nothing as a "go" car. . . . . . All of this work was done to a high standard by a couple of guys who have long experience with, and love for, Model Ts. The work took over 8 months. . . . . . The car is garaged in Central Virginia and, of course, is being sold "as is where is." The only warranty I can offer is that the vehicle is currently fully operational and equipped as described and seen in the photos. . . . . . I can also warrant that it is a lot of fun to drive.Vehicle Details:
