I have been working on Model T’s for many years and classic cars for over 55 years. I enjoy getting a car back into shape. . I have been fussy with this one for a year. It is very reliable and ready for someone to have some great fun with it. I will list what I have done at the bottom. It is 12 volt. It has a new 12 volt battery. It also has a 110 volt inverter with 2 power outlets to power 110 volt accessories such as a modern radio, the LED string trim lights and the music / siren / .PA system. . It has a sting of LED lights ( removable to trim the car for night parades along with an inexpensive but fun new sound system. The grandchildren will love the sound system. Drive in parades or around the farm with selected animal sounds, ice cream truck and circus sounds – different sirens and a PA system.

This car has plenty of power. It starts without hesitation. Brakes are good. Mechanical brakes and brake paw are good. Oil and spark plugs have been changed. Car greased. New wiring where required. Original AHHOGAA horn works. I am replacing the two front headlamp sockets before delivery. The lamps flicker due to I believe now just developed bad grounding. New bright brake light system just installed ( do not drive in traffic without a brake light) I have installed new chrome rear view mirrors on the side ( another crucial safety item)
Approaching 55 years of working on classic cars as a hobby The Model T Ford and Model A Ford are my favorites. Why? Easy for an amateur to maintain and repair – Overnight cheap parts, Large collector and Hobby community AND they are built to last. I can get any needed part in two days from Snyders, Macs or Langs old time auto parts . The cars are supported by Model T Ford Club of America and Model T Ford International along with numerous local clubs who loan tools and expertise. Many tours are available as a group including covered bridge tours in Indiana to trips through the Mountains as a group. This I believe is my 45thModel T. This car has had someone build what is commonly called a Depot Hack. The old metal body has been removed and a very nice well build wood body built on the frame. It is basically a pick up truck of the day for farmers. Many Model T’s were built on factory frames into trucks, ambulances, fire trucks etc by private companies. It carries 4 adult or two adults and three children comfortably. I would add seat pads for longer driver.

The car runs and starts superbly, ( See videos) I have it converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. The 12 volt battery is now charged from the magneto system . In the battery box on the drivers running board is a 115 volt inverter, You can use this with two outlets to charge your phone or run the extra electronics.
You can convert it back to 6 volt if you wish by disconnecting the magneto battery charger and hooking the wires to the original generator then change the light bulbs to 6 volt.
This Model T has some great additions. Including 1926-1927 wire wheels and fat tires ( replacement cost for these would be $ 436 per wire wheel, or over $ 1800 and over $ 900 for the Honeycomb radiator. I have added a large modern brake light If the new owner wishes, I can add 12 volt lights to the two front old kerosene wick lamps ( this does not destroy the wick lamp ) for my cost around 45 dollars.
I can gladly teach you to maintain and drive this car if you wish to drive up and pick it up. Or see some of my Model T videos on YouTube. Look for kriegel videos . Also just go on YouTube for any repair and maintenance videos and how to drive these great cars!
This car is registered in Vermont. I had to select clean for title because the others do not fit ( salvage, flood etc) Vermont does not title cars over 25 years old. The plate is paid up for two years. You simply send in the change of ownership to Vermont along with a form I will provide, pay your fee and you get plates in a few weeks. You can check with your State if you wish to title it in your State on to transfer the Vermont registration to your own State. I have found it is so much easier just to keep with friendly Vermont
Some of the items done
inspection of engine transmission and brakes
oil and grease change
600 weight differential top off
tire and wheel inspection
steering inspection
lighting repair
added safety mirrors
added rear brake light system
repainted where needed
note a nice brass trimmed battery box is on the drivers running board Both the 110 volt inverter and the electronic music box speaker and microphone are not permanently mounted. I suggest as I have putting the inverter in loose in the battery box then plug in what you need. Remove it when done. The inverter hooks to the battery post with spring clips. If you wish it mounted permanently I can do so with cables for the cost of the cables in the battery box if you specify where you want the inverter ( under back seat??) This will require drilling at least holes large enough for the 2 guage cables through the floor boards though
I can add a turn signal kit from snyders ot texas t parts for the cost of the kit plus 150 labor if you wish before delivery
I have sold a few Model T's overseas. Overseas buyers I can hold in storage if you wish to drive it in the USA prior to shipping overseas. I can deliver it say to the Indiana covered bridge tour coming up this fall for a fee. Contact me. Overseas buyers I will ship with the Vermont plates for whatever Vermont charges me for not getting a refund on the two years remaining on registration.
I have been selling on EBAY since 1999 My reputation is dear to me. My guarantee. If you are the winner, feel free to have any local Model T owner you hire inspect it. If any defects are found I failed to notice I will either repair, sell for a lower r price or give a full and immediate refund. Inspection MUST be done before it leaves my property. Look up my profile David Kriegel Mishwaka Indiana on Facebook.
If you really want this car and not risk loosing it – if we agree on a price I will change the buying format to buy it now at the agreed price so I can pay ebay the additional fee. You can then immediately buy it through ebay. Follow the rules.
This car is also being listed locally and on the Model T Forum board so I reserve the right to take cash locally before the auction ends. It is though an honest no reserve auction as I do need the storage space. I also have been working on classic VW Beetles for 50 years and have two more I need to store before winter
possible defect windshield glass is not marked as safety glass. If you are driving at high speed and have an accident where you could be thrown past the steering wheel into broken glass and it does not crumble you could be cut. Model T sanctioned tours that have pre tour inspection safety checks will check for safety glass
Free storage after auction ends for 14 days. After 14 days my cost of storage of $ 3 dollars a dayvideo is of my grandson Driving in no traffic area. What an adult can do on the farm etc where it is safe, simply turn off the key if they start to go too fast otr if yu are coming to an turn or obstacle.
If legal I will ship the remaining two green colors used on the car along with the paint formula on the can so you can touch up down the road as required AND REMEMBER if there is ever a hostile EMP pulse and all the cars stop running this one will keep right on running !!!
