Amazing 1923 Ford MODEL T3-Door Touring (Phaeton)! One look at this beauty and you'll immediately recognize the attention to detail, nd the care & craftsmanship that it took to restore this gorgeous resto-rod! Yes, 23 Ford 3 Door's are rare enough, utyou mayhave never seen one like this before. a 200 HP fuel injected '93 Chevrolet VORTEC V-6 engine, his classic T is not just to look at....it's made to DRIVE!She was restored by aFather and Son team in the early 2000's..... of which one was a top restorer at anationally recognized NorthEastern Rod shop. Now, hislabor of love can be yours. The original metal over wood frame has been painstakingly replaced with an all steel frame. The body is 100% STEEL,witha custom made hood, adiator shell, ood sides, heel wells, runk, nd more. All the rear body seams have been filled. The body has been flawlessly widened by 2.5"(in-distinguishable!), nd the windshield was chopped 3" . The three doors open with modern push-button ease - and close with a Mercedes quality 'click'! She is painted with gorgeous Brandy Wine metallic BC/CC (base-coat clear-coat) paint borrowed from the '99 Lexus palate. The tancanvas custom top is easily removable.... or you can use with the ‘Isinglass' side curtains for an enclosed trip. The interior is impeccably stitched in a complimentary 2-tone tan color. The chrome custom gauges, okar floor shifter, mergency brake, lluminated gear indicator, didit polished aluminum tilt steering column and much more complement this refined interior. The mechanics of this Model Tare just as impressive as the rest of the build! With 200HP VORTEC V-6 and Turbo 350 automatic, he isready to please. The engine has Sanderson headers and ceramic coated dual exhaust. She has all new wiring, heengine computer, nd anOptima battery all carefully tucked under the front seat. You'll findAlden coil overs on the front (with a dropped axle) and rear both . She is cooled by a customWalker radiator with an electric cooling fan.

Of course front disc and rear drum brakes, ith stainless steel brake lines to stop her, nd her custom stainless steel gas tank was made by Rock Valley Custom. There is so much more to see and tell. This is an impressive vehicle and is ready to be shown and enjoyed! (this information as provided by the builder, s I purchased the car finished in 2006 or 2007). What I can ad is this is an incredible quality build.....onethat would cost 2X my reserve to duplicate. You can drive the car anywhere, nytime, ith confidence.It can sit for months, nd start up without touching anything but the key! In fact, t has accumulated nearly 10,000 miles since built, lthough the condition reflects more like 500 miles! It is babied, nside and out! Another nice feature is that the matching trunk is not permanently mounted, ut rather mounted via a small trailer receiver hitch, o if you prefer to pull a trailer, ou're ready!
