This ’27 Ford Model T was built into a hot rod by a previous owner with a chopped and channeled steel body painted mint green. The car rides on a modified wheelbase and lowered suspension with deep-dish wire wheels, and inside are bucket seats, a drilled steering wheel, and a custom console. Power comes from a 305ci V8 linked to a three-speed automatic, and the seller recently installed a 600-cfm Holley carburetor and replaced the battery and starter. Acquired by the seller in 2023, this hot rod T is now offered with a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
The steel body has been chopped and channeled, and the seller notes the solid roof is a replacement component. The mint green paintwork has hand-painted pinstriping and flourishes, and flaws and chips are noted along with touched-up areas.
The modern headlights have integrated turn signals, and a “Flying Eyeball” mascot is mounted on the radiator cap. The aluminum fuel tank is mounted in the trunk.
The car rides on a modified wheelbase, and the front end is comprised of a drop axle, a transverse leaf spring, tube shocks, and radius rods. Out back are adjustable coilovers and a four-link setup according to the seller. The staggered deep-dish wire wheels have Ford-logo hubcaps, body-color pinstripes, and whitewall tires.
The drilled bucket seats have brown pads and harnesses. A body-color console has been added for the shifter, and it has a power outlet. Shrinkage is noted on the headliner.
The steering wheel is made from drilled aluminum and is mounted on a quick-release hub. The seller has added 700 of the ~1,350 miles on the Classic Instruments cluster.
The CPA-code 305ci V8 block is painted gold and topped by an Edelbrock intake and Mickey Thompson valve covers. The seller installed a Holley 600-cfm carburetor under the Cadillac-style air grabber intake recently, and the wrapped lake-style headers have baffles. The aluminum radiator is cooled by an electric fan.
The car has a three-speed Turbo Hydramatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end.
It is titled as a 1927 Ford in Texas using VIN 211072. The title has a VIN Certification Waived remark.
