Bluebird Power: 1927 Ford T-Bucket Roadster

This next car is a tribute to all those Datsuns that've gotten Ford V8s shoved into their engine compartments, because a swap cool the first time you see one, but sorta lame the 50th time.  And I've got to admit that I don't think I've seen a Datsun 510 powertrain shoved into Model T...have you?  Find this 1927 Ford T-Bucket Roadster offered for $10,700 in Washington, MI via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Volkswagen Inside: 1927 Track T Roadster

Whenever I see a Shelby Cobra driving on the street, I instantly assume it is a kit car...not that there is anything wrong with that, just that I'm probably dismissing the few real Cobras that might not be sitting in museums or climate controlled garages.  In a similar fashion, I also smile when I see a cool hot-rodded Ford Model T, mostly oblivious to the fact that you can buy a 1927 Track-T Roadster starter kit for $3,500...and in all likelihood, most Model Ts you see are indeed kit cars.  Like this 1927 Track T Roadster offered for $15,000 in Denver, CO.

Mardi Grass Cutter: 1926 Ford Model T Hot Rod

Just time for Fat Tuesday: The Ford Model T hot rod is an iconic car -- and not just because it revolutionized automotive production technique, but because Ford put 16 million on the road at a time when the horse was still running around and cars were things for rich people.  You don't see many original Tin Lizzies on the road today, but you will find the occasional hot rod just looking for a few strip of road to terrorize.  Find this 1926 Ford Model T Hot Rod offered for $8,900 in Zachary, LA.

Dragula: 1927 Ford Model T Roadster

 I really hate to rub it in...well, that's not entirely true, because I love spreading this around like mayonnaise on the world's largest submarine sandwich -- but as the rest of the country wallows in snow/sleet/ice we denizens of Southern California tool around in our climate control free roadsters...because it is so bloody expensive that we can't afford a nice car.  Find this 1927 Ford Model T Roadster offered for $12,500 in Winchester, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Rock On!

1924 Ford Model T Roadster

Ford's Model T is the elephant in the room when it comes to any discussion of early rickety classic horseless carriages. They must account for half the cars from the 19-teens for sale at any given time around the web, but that means prices are reasonable.  Find this 1924 Ford Model T Roadster here on eBay offered for $7,900 buy-it-now located in Poughkeepsie, NY. This post is part of DT's 2016 Birthday Celebration of 100 cars; enjoy the ride!


1923 Ford Model T, Pinto Power

The original Ford Model T is known for its basic rugged usability and the fact that anyone with a simple set of tools could fix it....but they were slow...really slow.  Why not shove a Chevy V8 later Ford 4-banger under the hood and reach freeway speeds with clean pants.  Find this 1923 Ford Model T with Pinto Power offered for $12,000 in Rhode Island via craigslist. This post is part of DT's 2016 Birthday Celebration of 100 cars; enjoy the ride!

Electric Tea For Two: 1923 Ford Model T

I've ranted enough about the demise of the manual transmission and the coming penalty box of autonomous electric vehicles that you might think I'm mad -- but I assure you that a doctor said I was fine.  Regardless, I do look forward to the time when I can send my self-driving car on an errand to the store to pick up something for me -- I'll put on my magic car directing hat and say "car, go to Harbor Freight and get me another 3-pack of stepped drill bits."  Because I'll always need parts/tools for the nutty human driven projects in my garage, like a 1923 Ford Model T converted to electric with starting bid of $5,000 here on eBay located in Sedona, AZ with 3 days to go.  Tip from SeanT.

Troglodyte: 1930 Ford Model A Racecar

The Ford Model A was the successor to Ford's famous Model T - and at one time littered the American automotive landscape like cockroaches at a food truck festival.  Ford sold a staggering 4.8 million of these little runabouts between 1927 and 1931 in an array of styles including panel vans, fordor sedans, roadsters, pickups, roadster-pickups and coupes.  Today's next feature is built from the front half of a Model T touring, but uses the chassis/engine of a Model A: Find this 1930 Model A Ford Racecar offered for $8,500 in Taunton, MA.

5k: Oatmeal: 1929 Ford Model T Kustom

Graham Oats is one of those pre-digital age hot rodders whose legacy is difficult to understand, even though he worked alongside guys like George Barris (who actually has a website).  Oats, on the other hand, has the unfortunately coincidence of being named after a hot breakfast and resulting google searches return little information, except from a few folks who have owned one of his creations.  You can probably find books in a library featuring his stuff, and maybe someone can add some details in the comments.  However, the seller of this car has promised to donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale to a scholarship fund for kids doing vehicle customization at El Camino College. Find this 1929 Ford Model T (A?) Kustom here on eBay currently bidding for $2,651 with 2 days to go, located in Torrance, CA.

10k: Original Hot Rod: 1922 Ford Model T Speedster

The Ford Model T was the original hot rod.  It was cheap, ubiquitous, and easy to modify -- the perfect recipe for building something for custom.  Ford revolutionized the automotive industry with the Model T and built 15 million of these little machines from 1908 through 1927, so there are quite a few still running around.  Find this 1922 Ford Model T Speedster offered for $10,900 in Monroe, WA via craigslist.  Tip from Jesse B.
