1913 Ford Model T
Beautifully restored Original 1913 Ford Model T Touring carI purchased this 1913 Ford Model T Touring car almost 10 years ago. The car was in exceptional original condition for the age and had spent most of it's life owned by the same family in the State of New York. A Frame off, nut and bolt restoration was recently completed and I don't think you'll find a nicer 1913 Touring anywhere.
The fenders, running boards and splash shields are finished in black and are as nice underneath as they are on top. The body is the original dark blue color and finished with the correct light gray pin stripes. The wheels are the correct original wood fellow wheels and the wheel fellow plates are stamped with a "P" indicating they were originally produced by The Prudden Co. The tires are Universal All White Smooth tires and the tubes are the correct metal stemmed tubes with brass nuts & dust covers.
The top and interior on the car appear as new. The car has the correct white rubber floor mat in the front, and the original style coca mat in the back. The top fits like a glove and has the correct roll up rear window. I ordered the top from Clastique, a well respected company that reproduces high quality Model T tops and interiors. I special ordered this top with the side panels unsewn so they could be properly fit to the top irons before installation. I also ordered a top boot from them that comes with the car as well.
The engine & transmission were completely disassembled and rebuilt by a well respected Model T engine rebuilder, then reassembled and highly detailed. The engine was test run for several hours on an engine stand prior to installation. The block, head, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and fan assembly are all correct and original to the car. Even the muffler was restored to appear as original with the original style covering and straps, dyed black as they would have been during this production period. A later Model T flywheel with a new ring gear was installed prior to assembly so that a starter could be easily added in the future without pulling the engine should someone decide to add a starter. This is not visible and does not effect the original appearance of the engine in any way. The engine compartment appears nicer than new and even the engine pans are polished and look as nice as the fenders. The carburetor is the rare Holley 2 screw brass carburetor used in 1913, but I currently have a rebuilt Holley NH straight through on the car for break in and it will come with the car as well.
The coils were all professionally rebuilt by Brent Mize "The Coil Doctor" and are the correct 6 screw brass top coils. The coil box & switch assembly have both been professionally restored and appear nicer than they would have originally.
The speedometer on the car is the original Stewart & Clark, Model C, and also operates and appears as new.
The car comes with original tools, the proper reproduced tool bag and an original 1913 Sales Brochure, original Ford Tire Repair Tin, original Ford Polish Tin & original Jack along with the correct original Bridgeport Tire Pump.
If you've been looking for a show quality, professionally restored, brass era 1913 Model T Touring, then this is the car for you.
