Car description

1925 Ford Model T Coupe, ommonly referred to as a 'doctor's coupe' back in the day, his nice old antique is in excellent condition, estored in 2014.This carwas in relatively good condition when I bought it, nd appeared to have had an easy existence. Much of the car is original and virtually rust-free, nbsp;several restoration/repair items have been performed to include:
  • Engine has been disassembled and gone through for any significant problems. New rings were installed, alves were lapped and adjusted, earing clearances were adjusted/shimmed to the specified 15/1000" clearance, ylinder head was resurfaced, new nickel plated head bolts and copper gasket installed. When I purchased the car, discovered that the original 1925 engine block was severely cracked and the cylinder head was warped, nd was no longer serviceable, nd was replaced by a serviceable 1921 era short block and cylinder head. The original damaged engine block may be available, nd if available can be purchased separately and shipped separately from this eBay listing, lease contact seller if the original block is needed for authenticity purposes subject to availability, nd seller can price this damaged block for sale and shipment based on location of the ultimate purchaser. This damaged block is for sale separately, nd may or may not be available for sale with the purchase of this car in this eBay listing.
  • All tires including spare have virtually zero miles on them, lthough they were installed at some point in the past by the previous owner(s), nd are road ready. All rims including spare rim have been serviced to insure reliability and all wood spokes have been checked for tightness and re-varnished with 4 coats of spar varnish.
  • New radiator installed
  • Brake light actuated by foot pedal added for safety during operation, as not original equipment
  • All three locks have keys and function as they should: ignition, assenger door and trunk.
  • Coils have been tested, uned and are functioning perfectly
  • Runs on both battery and magneto
  • Minor upholstery upgrades, lthough the existing upholstery is in very good condition with no tears or fraying apparent.
  • Fresh trunk liner and carpet installed
  • Door panels re-upholstered
  • All windows adjusted, erviced, ubricated and all 5 moving windows function as they should
  • Carburetor rebuilt
  • Generator cleaned and brushes cleaned andre installedfor maximum performance
This nicely restored car runs, ools, tops and starts as it should, ll systems including headlights, ail light and brake light, ap light on dash and generator all function well and it is a reliable touring vehicle, nd it does not appear to have excessive mileage on most of the components of the vehicle. Minor issues include a few oil leaks (standard on all Model T's), nd is equipped with a non-original horn although the horn present is era correct. Many knowledgeable antique car enthusiasts have insisted that this 1925 model year Ford did not come with cowl mounted oil lanterns as standard equipment. I researched this issue, nd have determined that indeed these functioning oil lamps were standard on all 1925 Model T's that were not equipped with optional generators. This car's lamps are authentic original equipment, nd are in excellent working condition, ith fresh oil and wicks that are ready to light when needed. Additional comments have been made by the same knowledgeable enthusiasts regarding the wooden spokes on the standard equipment wheels: Henry Ford had them all painted black. These spokes were originally painted black, nd one of the prior owners took painstaking efforts to remove the paint and stain and varnish the original hickory hardwood. I personally prefer this look to the standard black paint, nd chose to leave them as they are, ven though this is not how the factory produced them. Certainly if this is an issue with any subsequent buyer as to originality, hese spokes can be repainted black without much problem or cost.Sold on an 'as is, here is' basis with bill of sale only and Alabama registration certificate indicating the serial number 11654441. I purchased this car from an individual in Alabama who provided the registration document but insisted that no title was issued for cars 35 years old and older by the State of Alabama. Accordingly, o title will be issued with sale, nd buyer will be responsible for obtaining a title in states that require such documentation.$1,500.00 nonrefundable deposit via PayPal required within 48 hours of sale, nd the balance due within 7 days of sale. All funds must clear seller's bank prior to release of the vehicle to the buyer or buyer's agent for transport. Seller can assist the transport company with loading the vehicle onto buyer's trailer, ut driving Model T's onto trailers is tricky and even the most experienced Model T drivers cannot warrant that they will not have issues loading these old cars into tight spaces typically present on car haulers. IMPORTANT NOTE: 1925 authentic Illinois license plates shown in photos are not included with the car, eller will remove them upon sale to ultimate purchaser prior to shipment.
