Kim, did you get my e-mail ?

I will take the 5-Z-325 wrench

Sold for $5900.

Charles, I used Nason automotive urethane base coat, but no clear. It gave a nice silver color without to much gloss. Darryl

Jack number 3 is the one I refer to.

Dan, I have several Buckeye jacks with "Ford" on them. One of them has the numbers cast into each part of the jack, but nowhere is Buckeye cast into it leading me to believe these were made for Ford motor company. Why else would a company leave their company name off their product if it was only for...

More from Luray

With a record number of vendors, The 2025 Luray swap meet was one of the best ever. The forecast of heavy steady rain for Friday, only turned out to be on and off showers in the morning, with the sun out for the afternoon. Friday evening's vendor dinner was wonderful as always. Saturday brought suns...

What is everyone else bringing ? Post it here !

Trailer is getting full. Just two more weeks until the Mid Atlantic Pre-War Swap Meet in Luray VA. Make sure you stop by spaces G-9 & G10 For super deals. Prices to low to list here. Can't wait to see everyone ! Darryl

Don, I will take that 3 jaw puller. I will send an e-mail as well. Darryl

I have two '25 Ford pickup beds, they are in NC though. Darryl

I would like to see the drawing of the first Ford jack, the screw type with built in handle, just to see the date. That would give us an idea of when it was first supplied with the car. It is not listed in the Ford parts book until May of 1917. If Ford produced a jack since 1913, I would think it wo...

It is my understanding that the silver painted jack in my photo is the jack Ford supplied with the 1914 model T. Note that the check list states jack & handle. There was a discussion about this a year or two ago that my conclusion is based on. Darryl

Buckeye jack was supplied by Ford in 1914. I am not sure about the earlier years if the jack was supplied or had to be purchased.

I will be bringing a large Barbie collection to Luray next May.

I have been looking for the Ford cam nut wrench 5-Z-162. It looks vey much like the Stevens tool.

What color you want this old car mam ?

Someone has made reproductions of the early spark plug wrench, but I don't remember who.

Ford jacks

The very early Buckeye jack is near impossible to find, The second style Buckeye jack is also tough to find but they turn up every so often. Even harder to find is the handle, although the tool guy at Hershey has reproductions.

Nice old car, I have a '14 in similar condition, but no fold down seat. Enjoy it !

Another great swap meet at Luray. I like connecting with friends I only get to see there, making new ones, and meeting people from the forum, I would not get to meet otherwise. It is always a good time, nice location, and I always do well with parts sales. Cant wait for next year !

Bill Calimer. He has been doing wheels for over 40 years. His work is excellent.

I am bringing North Carolina sunshine, and an umbrella just in case! Will have vintage ford tools & jacks, along with some other wonderful items .

We will miss you Dan, hope you can make it next year !

The scammers never take a day off. I have not got any from people on this site, but my e-mail has that same type of scam everyday from what looks like people I know. The big tip off is the wording. The e-mail address is never the same as the person I know either.

Francis, I messaged you back, with my phone number. I tried to call you. Thanks for the interest.

There is no title. This car has not been titled in over 60 years. In NC I can get an "inoperable" title, but it does not really help the new buyer.

Dan, I am still wondering how high my property taxes are going, Suddenly my place is worth 90k more than it was last year.

Looks like there is no interest in saving this old girl,,, I will offer it up to the hot rodders.

Seems money is on short supply now days. Nobody is buying things they don't need for everyday life. Everyone's bills have at least doubled, while incomes have remained the same.

The low gloss of the lacquer can be seen even in black & white photos against the high gloss enamel on the fenders & running boards.

Frank, The paint is not nice. It is beyond soap & water.

Open to offers. Can be delivered to Luray Swap Meet.

Asking price : $5800.

1925 T Roadster. Needs complete restoration. Body wood is bad, will need a wood kit. Engine turns over & has compression, but I have not tried to start it. Body is in good shape, has only a small rust hole lower left side. Located in Kannapolis NC. Message or e-mail Darryl for more info

Jack is no longer making the frame. I contacted him a year or so ago about it. High casting cost and low demand being the reason. They do pop up for sale every once in a while. Best bet is to pay someone to repair your axle.

Sold, pending payment

For sale, very nice wire wheel lug wrench number T-2839. Glass beaded, ready for your finish. $75 plus shipping. Darryl Bobzin, E-mail, dbobzin@carolina.rr.com

I would like the other spark plug socket please. E-mail sent

One of the Model T books talks about this. I don't remember if it is Bruce's or the earlier one, but there is a photo of a car with the brass painted black. Darryl

Nice old USA made jack stands. We now trust our lives to cheap china cast iron.

We would have some very sad looking old cars on the road without the nice new sheet metal that has been available for the last 50 years. Thank you to all involved, and hope the business is passed on the another owner when the time comes !

I have a couple T s, I am in Kannapolis. Darryl

Eclers was recently sold to Turn 5, a Philadelphia based e- commerce company. one of the assets, Cartouche interior kits has been sold off to another investment company. As this business gets further and further from the ideal it was formed on, I think the service will get worse and worse. I miss th...

If you are looking for a swap meet with the old time feel, Luray is it ! I wasn't able to bring my trailer this year, but still sold a good amount of parts. I found some very nice rear fenders for my '14 and had a great time talking with old friends and new ones. If you have not made it to Luray, Pu...

Truck is loaded with items someone just caint live without ! Be sure and stop by Darryl's discount corner. I will have items for your Mothers day shopping. Spark plugs, vintage tools, vintage jacks, spindles, luggage racks, the list goes on !

I have the "00" jack, but have yet to find an early #3 FORD jack. Even harder to find is an original handle.

Are you looking for an original tin box ? or the wood box the battery is built in ? Larry Smith made some tin boxes a while back. Darryl Bobzin

Next thing you know, you guys will be painting your cars anything but black !

And some old classics,,,,,,

A few more,,,,

Charlotte Auto Fair

A few Ts in the AACA today,,,,,,

Not much there for the Model T fan,,,,,,If there was more I missed it. There were some tools & luggage racks that I didnt take photos of. Luray next month should fit the bill. Darryl

Off to the Charlotte Auto Fair to buy up all the Model T parts. Will let you all know what we find ! Darryl.

I will be there, selling Model T parts, and Model T tools. Darryl Bobzin

Ford Econoline van maybe, Darryl

No more at this time, sorry. Darryl

Part of the late Mark Smith's collection. He had hundreds of cars. I have yet to see his large collection of Model T's & Model A's come to auction. I dont know if the family is keeping them or if they will be sold at a later date.

John, You are about to gain many new friends with your purchase.

I have 3, This leaves a little over 15,000,000. unaccounted for.

They must have moved some cars around. I didnt see it when I was there in October. Darryl

A little gas, A little oil. A little spark, A little coil. A piece of tin and a 2 inch board. Put 'um together, and you got a FORD !

Watched the trailer, dont think I could sit through two hours of that nasty Hollyweird garbage just to see a couple old cars on the big screen. Not for me, no thanks. Darryl

I am glad they revised this. most of these changes can be seen in the Ford parts catalogs. You just have to look close. Darryl

There are those who say these do not exist.

Eye candy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a bunch of them, and as Steve said, they are hard to find that have not been beat to death on the sides. Darryl

SOLD, THANK YOU MTFCA CLASSIFIEDS.

Pair of barn fresh wire wheel front hubs. With bearings & caps. Has speedometer gear. $225 to your door. Darryl, dbobzin@carolina.rr.com (OR) 704-305-0499

I will take it. Let me know the best way to pay you for it. Darryl

Go on You Tube for Dan Hatch's axle insert / axle rebuilding video. You will need special tap/ reamer for the bottom & taper reamer for the top. You will also need the fixture to do this operation, Or a real good machinest with a Bridgeport mill.

This is the best April fools joke ever played ! And it is only November !

I sent you an E-mail Allan

Mark, thanks for the link to the photo.

No Dan, I am looking for one like on page 350 of Bruce's book. It loops over the window frame and the screws go thru the mirror bracket twice. I dont know how to get a photo of it or I would post it. Darryl

I am still in need of an open car mirror.

Steve that would be great news ! The one I am looking for is on page 350 of Bruce's book

Want to buy an original open car mirror for my '25 roadster. Does not have to have the glass, but frame must be restorable. Darryl

I thought the tool roll was canvas until '13. same design but leatheret '14 - '22 ???

Because they did not have them on early cars the aftermarket was quick to produce a brace for sale to the public. I just bought a pair of original fenders for my '14 that had them held on with small machine screws & nuts. Question is weather you want it Henry stock, or add braces. Darryl

If the replacement blocks were not numbered, and just considered a service part, There may be no record of how many were produced or when the last of them were made. Darryl

E mail sent to George.

I am still in search for these little metal pieces. Check your junk drawers, check your bolt bins, there has to be a couple floating around somewhere.

Dan Hatch had some NOS brackets. You may see if he has any left.

I will need the strap as well when I find the end covers. Sent you an e-mail Frank. Thanks, Darryl

Still need um,,,,,

For anyone that had ever been to Marks Main street building, The lower floor is still full of Model TS & Model As. I did not get word as to what was going to be done with these cars, if anything.

Picked up some fenders for my '14 today. Auction people were all great to deal with. Three day auction still has another day to go.

Still looking for these,,,,,,,,,

Want to buy two of the door check strap square end caps for my '25 cars. Darryl Bobzin

Wonder why they would have coated brass fuel lines ? They sure dont need rust protection. Was the original tube formed from sheet and needed to be soldered at the butt joint to be sealed ?

Found a nice set of AC brakes for my '25
