Thank you Andy, Wayne, Kevin, Jeffery, Howard, Steve, and Pat for your comments.
I find them helpful and encouraging as I further this investigation. There is a very good chance now that I might end up owning one of these "16 Valve Model C Roof Heads".

MTFC Forum by Wayne Sheldon » Tue Nov 22, 2022 6:38 pm Boy you know how to hurt people! Make them crazy with desire. Certainly one of the most wanted high performance heads for a model T ever! However. DO NOT go crazy making it something it was NOT! Do not mill the thing any more than absolutely nec...

- For those who might be familiar with Model T Ford Speedster Performance Equipment, what do you think about running a 16 Valve Model C Roof Head in a Speedster? Are there any mechanical or reliability issues that I might want to be aware of or maybe be watching out for when out motoring? ...Or, are...

Hello fellow Model T-ers,

I am looking for a Mercury, or Paco, or similar period correct "bodied" speedster in restored condition.

Hey Ron,
Tried to find the car in all of the listed auctions but no luck. Do you know which of the auctions it is listed in?

- Something that no one has mentioned thus far is that the modern Lucas inner tubes have tapered rubber valve stems that do not fit all the way through original wheel fellow holes. To have these modern valve stems fully seat in correctly the stem’s taper needs to be shaved down at its base. Has anyo...

- It’s true, our 2025 Bakersfield Brass Era - PreWar Swap Meet went surprisingly smoothly. In only 8 weeks we sold all our vendor spaces and at the end shoehorned in a few late comers. And, the $10 buyers kept trickling in finally bringing our coffers into the “black”. Our biggest worries didn’t see...

Hey Tim,
Neat Car.
How much do you want for it?
Also, I followed your Youtube link but could not find anything on "Thunderbolt". I would be interested in what the interior looks like.

When I bumped into Jay at the Holiday Motor Excursion, I asked him if he owned a Model T Ford. He said that he did but didn’t know what type. Maybe he was just giving me the ol’ brush off.

NOTE:

Anyone who replies to a post with simply; “Is this car still available?” Is a scammer or just wants to chew the fat. Somebody who legitimately wants to buy a car it’s going to make more of an effort than just that.

Well Andy, Thanks for checking in. In Orange County CA we are in the process of rebuilding my 1926 Roadster Pickup’s engine. It was sold to me as a “tour ready refresh” but, as it turned out, came with a worn out engine. Needs most everything including new EE crank and babbitting. Our senior T-ers h...

I have seen this car in person and it is exactly what Ed is describing. I have recently done a full restoration on a 1911 Ford Touring. It cost me well over $35k, that didn’t include my labor, and it is nowhere near as perfect as this Torpedo.

I wonder if someone bought it already.

Holly Mackerel!!!! It’s PERFECT.

Anyone buying this beauty is going to know everything he needs to about a 1910 Ford Touring car. Unfortunately, such a purchase will also come with "scorn" from Pat, and those like him, which makes it harder for these buyers to feel welcome among our ranks.
