George Albright Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hi Guys. I am in the process of building a replica circa 1940 gas station. However my wife says sell some iron to pay for it! With much distress,I am putting up my #1 project for sale. Photos available,just ask.I pieced together an AMAZING Model T speedster project,with authentic early 1920s parts. The body is the only one known,circa 1923,Equipto Line body,made by the Aurora Equipment Co. of Aurora Illinois. This company first built bodies for Henry Ford around 1910,then cycle car attachments for motorcycles. In the teens and 1920s they built racey bodies for Ford Model Ts. Around 1930 they switched to building metal shelving and cabinets and are still in business. Please click on this link for more history,which I helped Coachbuilt write: Thomas Dunham Co., Equipto, Model T Speedster, Thomas M. Dunham, John C. Dunham, Dunham Side Car, Aurora Equipment Co., Equipto div. of Aurora Equipment Company - CoachBuilt.com The body is all original and super solid and complete,no rust ever,minus top irons,which I would not use any way. These racey lines don't need a top! Seats are out of a circa 1920 ice cream parlor,and fit perfectly. Cast iron backs and maple bottoms. Head is a 1921-23 Olds 3 port head,which has been magnafluxed and tanked. Looks superb! Includes rocker arms,valves,springs,etc. These heads in the late 1920s and 1930s and on the salt flats on the 1940s were used as an overhead valve setup on Model T Ford blocks. Known as a poor mans Rajo! MANY records for 3 decades were set with these. Please see this website for all the parts needed for this conversion: index Finally enclosed is a superb and unique circa 1920 all brass V radiator. Looks almost identical to a Miller Indy Sprint car one. All original but looks superb all over. No old leaks evident. My paln was to mount these three items on a Model T wire wheeled chassis,with a Miller or Winfield carb,and other speed equipment. This V radiator with this killer racer body with a very low cut windshield will be one of the most beautiful around. Plus you will have the only one! Lots of photos avail. of all three items,just ask. Will deliver to Hershey for free,but must be fully paid for now. Will also crate and ship for costs,and/or help arrange transport. Price for all pictured is $9,800. Will not part out,no trades. George Albright,Ocala,Fla. cell 352 843 1624 weekdays 10 AM to 4 PM EST.

George Albright Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Forgot to mention radiator came from estate of a 95 year old Long Island N.Y. former 1930s sprint car driver. Second 1928/29 Chevy disc wheels are a cheap and easy way to use disc wheels with htis project. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
