FS- 1926 Willy's-Knight model 70 sedan


Recommended Posts

Nice original car with 25,322 miles, sleeve valve 6 cylinder was rebuilt about 8 years ago, engine cost over $7500 to rebuild. 3 speed transmission rear wheel drive. Radiator has been cleaned and runs cool. Believed to have original paint on body, top vinyl and headliner replaced, interior is brown fabric and in fair condition. Body frame wood is solid and doors open and shut soundly. Wood wheels are solid and has new Michelin tires. It is a very unique car! The same year and model was used as Elliot Ness's car in the "Untouchables" TV series!  Have had fun with it but down sizing with my age!  Located in Colorado!
Asking $13,500 or make an offer!  Call 970-310-6006

I'll have to take a front view for you later today.   Hope this helps!  Steering is tight, no play, wheels very good, no wobbles going down the road doing 50+ mph.

This car was stored for many years after a connecting rod on the sleeve valve broke.  That is why the engine was totally rebuilt about 10 years ago.

There was never any magic year, however, most marques did not make bumpers standard equipment until about 1928. Many non-Fords offered factory optional bumpers on the front by 1920, rear bumpers were an additional option. They were a very popular option, and a lot of cars got factory bumpers in the early and mid '20s. Many more cars got after-market bumpers added in their first year or so (few people added them after the car was a couple years old). It was still quite common for cars to not have bumpers as late as 1927.
