This 1915 Ford Model T touring car was purchased in 2004 by the seller, who in turn sold the car to his friend, the current late owner, the following year. It is finished in black over matching upholstery, and power comes from a replacement 177ci inline-four linked with a two-speed planetary-gear transmission and a two-speed Ruckstell axle. Additional equipment includes Hassler front shocks, Rocky Mountain rear drum brakes, steel-spoke wheels, a brass radiator surround, cowl lamps, a split-folding windshield, a black soft top, and a horn. Service performed in preparation for the sale reportedly included the installation of a replacement battery, an oil change, and a fuel system flush. This Model T touring is now offered by the seller on behalf of the late owner’s estate at no reserve with a Virginia title.
The three-door bodywork was refinished in black under prior ownership and features a brass radiator surround, a thermometer radiator cap, cowl lamps, a split-folding windshield, a horn, running boards, a passenger-side Ford-branded step plate, a black soft top, and a rear lantern. Imperfections in the finish are noted by the seller.
Black-finished steel-spoke wheels feature silver rims, and they are mounted with 30x 3½ Universal bias-ply tires. Sidewall cracking is visible. A matching spare rim and tire are stowed on the driver-side running board. The suspension features transverse leaf springs with Hassler front shocks, and rear Rocky Mountain mechanical drum brakes have been added.
The cabin features front and rear seats in black tufted upholstery. There is a tear in the rear seat bottom.
The wood-rimmed four-spoke steering wheel fronts column-mounted controls for the throttle and spark advance, while a hand lever and three pedals control the brakes and gear selection. A Sunpro ammeter is mounted on the painted steel dashboard. No odometer is fitted, and total mileage is unknown.
The 177ci inline-four is said to have been sourced from a 1926-27 Model T and rebuilt before it was installed by the seller and the late owner. A replacement battery was installed in preparation for the sale, and an oil change was also performed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a two-speed planetary-gear transmission and a two-speed Ruckstell axle, both of which were reportedly overhauled during the late owner’s time with the car.
A reproduction VIN plate has been attached, and the seller notes that there is no serial number on the engine.
The Virginia title carries a “Not Actual” odometer brand.
