1923 Waukesha Ricardo cylinder head

[Guest Edelbroke]

Aftermarket Waukesha Ricardo cylinder head. Very nice, no cracks or repairs. This was on a 1927 Ford Model T I used to own. It was installed on the T very early in the cars life and stayed on until I removed it last year (2016). I have the head bolts and coil box that was mounted on the head as well. Spark plugs are probably usable. Only has 3 primer cups, fourth has a plug. I assume they weren't using the cups for starting on the engine it was on.  I'd like $1,000 cash. Sorry, I wont ship this.

That's a scarce piece Im sure, but curious how you priced it at $1000.00  I have some interesting Model T aftermarket parts and have found unless they were fancy wire wheels or true speed equipment , that they were as valuable as the stock parts. Im not knocking the head , just curious.

Wouldn't this fit in your "true speed equipment" category? Not a Ford produced item, made with the purpose of adding power? 6 more years and this will be a 100 years old.

 I try to research things as best I can, like previous similar items sold and for how much and when they sold. I think the last one I found that was for sale was back in 2008 (that I was able to find) and that was around $600.  I don't know, maybe a grand is the I don't want to sell it price.. What if I want to build a speedster someday?

Like I said I thought the 1000 was pretty hefty for a off brand flathead. I wa sjust trying to get a handle on it . My brother has a overhead set up for a T ROOF  I think . and he thought that was worth 1000. Mike
