1925 tall T: unrestored barn find


Recommended Posts

All I know at this point is that she hadn't run in something like 25 years, and had been just sitting. Josh got her as part of a trade for a '41 Buick and had the T running again on the second day. I believe the last owner had had the car since the 1960s. There's some significant rust inside the trunk, but otherwise the car is remarkably solid and un-molested.

The ignition boxes, radiator and linings in the transmission are being replaced, along with the ignition "timer", a 1925 version of today's cam-position sensor. It has 4 separate coils, kinda like a current car too.

Look at the fan in the center engine shot and you'll see it's running.
