FORD MODEL-T STATION HACK, 1919

1919 Ford Model T

Up again for straight auction is my Model-T Ford 6-seat Station Hack. (The last sale was made in error.) I bought it back in 2015 (on e-Bay) to serve as what I imagined to be an attraction at the 40-acre public garden I was constructing, which was to have a couple of miles of driving trails, as well as to serve as a VIP and handicapped transport vehicle. I was told when I bought it that it was a 1919 model (hence the 1919 Virginia plate I added), but I don't know the source of that information (the car is not registered and will come with a bill of sale but no title) and the engine's serial number puts that in the 1913 year sequence (so it was probably made by the Dodge Brothers, who made most of Mr. Ford's engines that year). Anyhow, it was in pretty good shape when I got it, but, aside from the body, had had few updates. It was 6-volt, crank-started, and had a battery but no generator, the usual Ford worthless brakes, and a gas tank that lost suction on even mild hills. I decided that for my uses, I'd have to modernize it. So I contacted a couple of Model-T owners and mechanics from Waynesboro, VA (names on request) and told them to do what was needed. Here's what they added over the winter of 2016-17: 1) A Woford three-speed transmission (a bit more expensive than the Rocky Mount, but preferred by my guys). 2) An alternator, and along with that, 3), a 12-volt conversion and new battery. (Look at the great bracket they made for the alternator in the pictures of the engine.) 4) A starting (ignition) motor. 5) Disk brakes. 6) Running lights (though no turn signals). 7) A water pump. 8) An elliptical fuel tank for enhanced fuel suction. 9) A foot throttle. 10) A windshield. 11) A completely rebuilt front axle. 12) New wheel bearings. 13) A moto-gauge. 14) An oil-level tube and sight glass. 15) A brass oougah horn. 16) An original Va 1919 license plate. 17) Lots of replacement nuts and bolts and springs, etc, etc. With all of this done, at a cost of around $9k, the car was ready for its intended use, and I was delighted--until my wife pointed out to me that there was no way a handicapped person was going to be able to get in and out of that car, and that if we had to provide handicapped transportation (which we do) we'd have to buy an electric golf cart for them (which we did). So this completely updated, completely straight, and perfectly running 6-seater is on the market, looking for a new home. It is located in Waynesboro, Virginia. If you have questions about it or would like to arrange to see it, contact me by email and I'll tell you what I can, but I don't think much has been left out, either from the car or about it. I have not seen any Model-T Station Hacks advertised that are a match for it in style or utility at anywhere near what you'll pay for it. (The dog in the lead picture is extra, and does not come with the car. Sorry.)
