SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY - RESTORED * MODEL T - SPEEDSTER * I RESTORED THIS MODEL T CHASSIS FROM THE GROUND UP AND THERE WAS NO SHORT CUTS OF ANY KIND. THE BODY WAS A KIT, PURCHASED FROM THE ROOTLIEB COMPANY WHICH CONSTISTED OF ALL NEW WOOD CAB, NEW FRONT AXLE, NEW FENDERS & NEW RUNNING BOARDS. THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETLY REBUILD AND DOES HAVE A WATER PUMP INSTALLED AND NEW RADIATOR. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ALL NEW AND DOES INCLUDE AN ELECTRIC HORN. THE CAR WILL RUN ON BATTERY OR MAGNETO AS IT SHOULD. THE CAR IS ALL TRIMMED OUT IN BRASS INCLUDING BRASS LIGHT FIXTURES AND BRASS HARDWARE. SHE RUNS AND HANDLES VERY WELL AND IS A REAL SHOW PIECE THAT HAS WON ME SEVERAL LOCAL TROPHEYS. THE CAR HAS 4 NEW FIRESTONE 21-INCH TIRES WITH TUBES. THERE IS A FEW MINOR CHIPS IN THE PAINT FROM NORMAL USEAGE OF GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. MY PA TITLE SHOWS THAT IT IS A 1923, BUT THE ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER IS A 1924. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CHASSIE IT WAS MISSING THE ORIGINAL ENGINE, SO I HAD TO TITLE IT AS A 1923, BUT IT IS ALL BRASS CAR AND I CONSIDER IT A 1915 (BUT THAT IS MY OWN OPINION). THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH THE CAR IS THE LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL IS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE DRUM. I HAVE THE NEW PARTS AND WILL SEND THE PARTS WITH THE CAR.
