1927 Ford Model T Track Roadster

This 1927 Ford Model T track roadster was professionally built by Richardson's Customs in 1999 using a Wescott fiberglass body on a Jim Meyers frame. The body is finished in Lemon Ice over a gray and purple cloth interior, and it's powered by a 250ci 3.8-liter Buick V6 paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission.  Equipment includes a streamlined Triumph windshield, a heater, and adjustable coil-over suspension. Located in Venice, Florida, and titled as a 1927 Ford, this roadster is now offered on a clean Florida title in the seller’s name. 

The Wescott fiberglass body was widened 4” and sprayed in Lemon Ice yellow. It's equipped with an Al Swetburg steel hood, side panels, trunk lid, and a Triumph TR4 windshield. Custom lavender and purple pinstriping is featured throughout the car.  A stainless steel exhaust with side pipes was fabricated, and slotted taillights were grafted in the rear. The grille, headlight trim, and suspension are chrome-plated    

Aftermarket polished aluminum five-spoke wheels with yellow accents are staggered in size, with 15” up front and 16” in the rear.  The front tires are 195/30, and the rears are 255/50 in size.  The suspension system consists of adjustable coil-overs on all four corners, while braking is handled by discs in the front and drums in the rear.

The interior is fitted with gray carpeting and purple tweed door panels, and a bench seat.  The upper and lower seat cushions feature decorative stitching and a purple vinyl insert at the top.  The interior also features a color-matched yellow dashboard and custom graphics along the passenger side. Equipment includes a heater and floor-mounted shift lever with a black leather shift boot. 

Instrumentation is framed by a three-spoke black & yellow steering wheel and includes a 120-mph speedometer, as well as accompanying gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level.  The five-digit odometer reads 4.5k miles, which are the miles since the build was completed.

The 250ci Buick V6 is housed within a fully detailed engine bay with a chrome air cleaner and valve covers with yellow accent striping. The stainless steel headers exit out either side of the fenders, and a chrome alternator was installed.  Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Turbo 350 automatic transmission and an 8” Ford rear end. 

The Jim Meyer's tubular frame is finished in yellow to match the body and was assembled with stainless steel hardware. Additional photos showing the underside are available in the gallery.
