1917 Ford Roadster

Feast your eyes on this unique 1917 Ford Track T roadster for sale. What a story this ride has! This car is a direct tribute to a vehicle that was originally built in the 50's for a famous Arizona hot-rod builder. Painted in a lovely Antique Cream with Maroon Scallops, the Speedway fiberglass body is mounted on a rectangular tube frame. The hood and nose are aluminum. This Track T features a 2.8l (171 CID) V6 engine from a 1979 Mercury with a Weiand intake, 2-bbl carburetor and headers. The motor is tied to a 3-speed C4 Ford automatic transmission with a mild shift kit installed several years ago and the powertrain runs through a Halibrand quick-change rear end. This car handles fantastically thanks to its transverse leaf spring suspension up front and Carrera coil-overs in the rear. All the suspension parts are heavily dosed in eye-popping chrome, making this Track T just as exciting to look at underneath. Full aluminum louvered belly pans secured with Ditze fasteners. This is a highly photogenic car that has featured in several magazines over the years and has turned countless heads. I will include in the sale the 5 magazines it has been featured in. Weighing in at just 1,750lbs it is very easy to get this little roadster going and even easier to put a smile on your face. It is time for the current owner to move on from this piece of history, but your time in this car is just beginning- every time you drive it you'll feel like you're doing a lap at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!Additional pictures available by request.
