Hot Rods Saw this cool old Ford the other day...

Wuts that 5 window lurking in the background I'm wundrin...

 

very cool, that happenes all the time, you see a cool car and you cant see the whole thing, than one day its park in the drive way or on the street and you finally get to check it out.

 

Boy, you guys are hot this morning. I laughed so hard i got tears
in my eyes. One thing i hate to admit though. I have the same kind
of gas gauge in my 32......

 

My Dads Willys Jeep has the same gas gage but the tip is broken off so it looks older

 

The last four cylinder Pierce was built in 1909. I doubt anyone used Pierce distributors back then. There were a number of aftermarket conversions available, including one by American Bosch, which was very popular. This car looks to have a 009 Bosch VW distributor, a very common, modern swap for Ts

 

Model T coupe...1926 or 1927.

 

Man that is cool thanks for sharing!

 

Have you every heard a t coil, it sounds like a dizzy, and will knock you on your ass

 

That is SWEET!!!!! What's the history on it??

 

Reminds me of this one! Sorta' kinda' maybe not!

 

Does the owner drive it much? Ever get a ride?

Pretty cool... I think it needs at least a couple stars! Gary

Thanks for the interesting thread. Makes us old farts remember what fun old cars were when they were simple and life was too!

That is sweet...

 

Looks like a lot of fun!

 

I'll try to get the background on the ride. I fell in love with it instantly. Have not gotten a ride, yet. If the guy didn't live an hour and a half away, I would spend more time there.

 

Very cool !!

 

Nice!

 

Love the fuel gauge (aka stick).

 

They don't have a "Dizzy" they have a timer. 4 wooden coil boxes, each firing one spark plug. A timer on the front of the engine fires each one separately.

An old friend built a Model T hot rod in the early twenties. He adapted a Bosch magneto off a 1913 Cadillac 4 cylinder. He bolted the mag to the frame and drove it off the crankshaft with a bicycle chain. With a Rayfield carburetor, 1908 high compression head and the cutout open, it would do 70 MPH.

 

Way cool! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
