Model T Ford Speedster

In this exciting video, Gil takes the 1926 Model T Ford speedster out for a drive around the Miracle of America Museum. This vehicle is a period correct build and restoration by Gil himself. It’s also equipped with period correct speed equipment as well.

Looks and sounds pretty damn good!!! 👌

[@hoodoo2001]

This is the Model T I want to build....

As of 5/24 there is a “Fronty” Model T Speedster for $18,500 on eBay. The Frontenac overhead valve conversion doubles the hp of the Model T engine. Was very popular among speed enthusiasts of the day. Very rare these days.

You know, it sure would be fun to see a T racing revival.

It would be fantastic! We've had dreams of purchasing extra land to have antique car races. Wouldn't that be something? =) Not in this lifetime, but what a fun thought.

@@miracleofamericamuseum4205 One of my topics of study, are cyclecar racers, of the same period! They would also be fun around that track! At the State Fairgrounds in Detroit, back in the day, they raced T's, European cars, Cyclecars, and motorcycles.

@@DetroitMicroSound What a sight that would be to see! We have a whole collection of antique motorcycles too.

@@miracleofamericamuseum4205 One of these days, I may have to stop in, and visit! Old motorcycles, and mopeds of all kinds, is my thing!

[@DetroitMicroSound]

@@miracleofamericamuseum4205 Apparently we had a few guys racing cyclecars, back in the 20's with Henderson 4 engines in them.

A single Model T racer. I'd love to have one! Even a two place. Great sound. Great video!

[@HotRodDad]

Love the E&J headlights, and is that a Whippet grill/radiator I see? Really cool piece of history there.

[@MisterRichHarris]

What was this video? A tour of heaven on earth?

[@miracleofamericamuseum4205]

Come on down to the museum and find a little piece of heaven for yourself =D

[@claytonbrock]

This thing is awsome

[@ThatOneKidd45th]

Hopefully one of these days I get to see his car once again in another video!

[@MrRX75]
