1913 FORD MODEL T SPEEDSTER - PARADE & CAR SHOW CROWD PLEASER EXTRAORDINAIRE!

7-8-2015 UPDATE: The engine serial number/manufacture date has been determined...please see "VERY IMPORTANT NOTE" paragraph below for details!

THE FORD MODEL T HAS BEEN NAMED "THE MOST INFLUENTIAL CAR OF THE 20th CENTURY!"

AND HERE IT IS IN WHAT IS PERHAPS ITS MOST CROWD-PLEASING FORM...AS A BELOVED "SPEEDSTER"!!

LOCATION: Blairsville, A...approximately 100 miles north of Atlanta.

BACKGROUND...though the Model T was the first vehicle to be mass-produced on a moving assembly line with interchangeable parts...it didn't take long for people to "individualize" theirs in ways to make theirs different. One of the most popular customizations was to convert the Model T into a "Speedster".

This particular example has become a bit famous in northern Georgia due to its crowd-pleasing appearances at local car shows and parades. Age seems to have no bearing on the appreciation of this car...everyone smiles!

SEE THE VIDEO...be sure to take a look at the video link above. It will show the engine running. It has an electric starter...but once warmed up...it also started with about a half-turn of the crank. We tried to take it for a little ride during the photo-session, ut the engine kept quitting...so be prepared to do some tune-up or other work as needed. It has successfully been driven in local parades.

IMPORTANT IMAGE NOTES: To give a complete presentation of this impressively preserved Model T Speedster, e have taken 100 pictures for you. The first 19 images are intended to give a quick overall presentation of the car from a variety of vantage points.

To see ALL the images...you MUST place your cursor on an image - allow plenty of time for all images to download - and then scroll slowly ALL the way to the bottom.
CAUTION: if you use the scroller to the FAR RIGHT of your screen or the "Click to view image album" feature...you will NOT see all the images.

2,580 TRANSACTIONS WITH HAPPY PEOPLE! As of the date of this listing, e've had 2,580 transactions (both buying and selling) on eBay without a single complaint. One of the keys to our selling success is the use of LARGER and MORE images than you will likely see in ANY other eBay listing...so you can CLEARLY see what you are getting.

INVESTMENT POTENTIAL...MODEL T Speedsters have been among the most desirable of the Model T family for decades, nd this affection for these early customs has an assured future.

ABOUT ME: I am an avid car enthusiast. After retiring from 30 years of sales and marketing in a Global 100 company, formed Murphy Endeavors, LC and began buying and selling classic cars as a collector and for friends and clients. This beautiful 1913 Model T Speedster belongs to a friend and fellow Classic Car enthusiast.

Please note that I have had 2,580 eBay transactions with 100% Positive Feedback and have sold classic cars to happy eBay customers in Brazil, weden, witzerland, rance, ermany, ustralia, ussia, anada, apan, nd throughout the United States.

ODOMETER NOTE...there is NO odometer! Mileage is totally unknown!

IMPORTANT FINAL REMARKS & CONDITIONS OF SALE...the Buyer will receive a Notarized Bill of Sale and the current State of Georgia Registration Document. (Note: the State of Georgia did not begin titling automobiles until 1962, herefore, O vehicles of a model year prior to 1962 have Georgia Titles...instead, "Non-Title" Registration is issued after ownership is proven, nd the Registration document becomes the state-issued ownership document for the vehicle).

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: From research we have done, ord never produced a Model T "Speedster"...all "Speedsters" were early customizations of Model T cars. Therefore, e cannot attest to the date of manufacture of the individual components. The State of Georgia has registered the car as a "1913 Model T RD" (RD is a common DMV abbreviation for "Roadster") with a VIN #19383. We do not know how it was determined that the VIN should be 19383. Generally, odel T cars take their VIN from the engine number...but the engine number of this car is 8743229. We have used internet Model T decoders on the engine number, nd they indicate a 1923 year of manufacture. The BILL OF SALE will reference BOTH the Georgia Registration VIN and the engine Serial Number. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine - together with their state's DMV - what year and VIN number to use for the car. In sum, odel T cars are very hard to "date" with complete accuracy as it is our understanding that there were no frame serial numbers until 1926. For purposes of identifying a year and VIN for this car on eBay, e are relying solely on the Georgia Registration data.

Though significant dollar investments have been made to make this Model T Speedster a proven crowd pleaser at Car Shows and Parades...it remains a 90+ year old vehicle with 90+ year old design and technology. As owners of all Model T's cars well know...even the best restored examples will need repairs from time to time, nd often without notice. Exact model years can also be difficult to determine - especially with Model T Speedsters which - by definition - are modified cars. Therefore, his sale is strictly on an as-is and final basis with no warranties or liabilities expressed or implied.

Every effort has been made to present this antique car completely and accurately to the best of our knowledge and resources, ut errors and oversights are possible. Therefore, re-purchase examination of the car (if desired) is welcomed before the listing's end and can be easily arranged by appointment.
