starfireelvis Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The gentleman restoring this roadster passed away before completing it. Quality work on what has been done; everything else needed appears to be there, including duplicates. Available at a reasonable price, needs to be moved quickly. Contact Virginia at 330/257-0421 late afternoons and early evenings. Located in Damascus, Ohio (northeast Ohio, approximately halfway between Canton and Youngstown).

Guest Backyardmechanic Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Ok Yes I knew this guy and have seen the workmanship he had done on this car and one he restored for his Mother.He had study machinal engineer at a early age.As you knowest in one of the photos he had a english wheel and knew how to use it too. It's a shame that he didn't get to see this car finish.Vern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starfireelvis Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 At this point, Virginia is asking $5,000 or best offer for the car and all associated parts. Again, her number is 330/257-0421. Can't be too many of them around, and though I am no expert on the pre-war and very early vehicles like this (though I surely do appreciate them), I had one person whose opinion I highly respect tell me that, this car complete is "ten times the car" a Model T is!

starfireelvis Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Good news from Virginia--she just called me to say that the Roadster has been sold, and has a new owner and home. Thanks again to everyone for spreading the word to ensure that that the 97-year-old vehicle will have its restoration completed, and to help Viriginia out as well. I am sure that Jack is smiling that one of his fellow old car enthusiasts will finish up what he started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farrellg Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) A very good friend of mine purchased the roadster. I made the trip out to Ohio to help retrieve the car. Virginia was a great host and we were glad to help out. The Car is in good hands and will be restored right. He is currently inventorying the car to see what is missing. The rear axles were not in the car and are being searched for. I am sure there are some other parts that will be needed. Right now he knows he will need drivers front fender, driver door, distributor cap and rotor, brake and carb linkages and parking brake handle.The new owner is setting up and account to the forum and I am sure will contribute. He is interested in linking up with any other 1916 Roadster owners. -George Edited May 28, 2013 by farrellg (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Great news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farrellg Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 We have been unable to locate the rear axle shafts, hubs and brakes for this car. We do have the parts books, so we have a good idea what we are looking for. One thing that would really help would be some pictures. If any one has some photos they would be willing to post for the 1916-1917 Roadster axle shafts, it would be appreciated. Certainly would help with id'ing one outside the car. Thanks.
