Not sure exactly what you're looking for But I have this Master piece that's been altered on the back side. It's available for $50.00. I was going to post a picture but can't figure out how????? I see no option.

Ed aka #4

I might be, with a little arm twist and some others joining in the drive, be interested in doing that. Not in old #4 but maybe our 1924 Brand X (Chevrolet) truck.

Bob, we sincerely missed not being able to present the award to you in person at the awards presentation ceremony at the final banquet of the MTFCA National Tour in Stettler AB Canada. As I stated that night, we are all truly thankful for the Walter Rosenthal's like yourself in this world that make ...

Too bad it wasn't publicized better. I can't attend either.

Ed aka #4

Hey, I just saw this. I often wonder where the pictures end up as I see people with their cell phones shooting, as I ramble down the road. Since Karen isn't with me I assume this one was taken as I was driving home from the Santa Clara Valley Model T Ford Club endurance run on June 8th, probably on ...

Well, beat out again! I came fairly close, but when you're computing in seconds, a couple minutes is enough to put you out of the "money" Congratulations Andy and Jeannine, that was a well deserved win. This had to be one of the toughest routes we've ever had with about every type of terrain (no gra...

This car is Sold! Thanks MTFCA.

Ed aka #4

Wow! June 7th & 8th is just around the corner. Well, as usual with my last minute antics, I just sent my entry forms in, and If you haven't already registered for the 64th Annual SCVMTFC speedster Endurance Run, time is running out. There's less than 2 weeks left before the deadline to get signed up...

I forgot the radiator and turtle deck.

Ed aka #4

At that time I didn't get a shot of the right side of the engine but it's pretty basic with a correct 1915 Carburetor.

I'll be shooting a bunch tomorrow. What specifically do you want to see?

Ed aka #4

Hi Michael, I'm surprised that know one has responded with help. First off, to my knowledge there's no source of metal stems like you want. And you're right swap meets are your best source........but evidently not in Denmark! How much of a rush are you in? I probably have some of those and I'm not a...

I'll take the horn bell.

Very authentic 1915 Ford Model T Runabout/Roadster and car trailer to be sold as a package. Single axle trailer, professionally well built and hardly used. The car is a 1915 throughout with exception of the kerosene side and tail lamps may be 1916 or so. It runs well, tires are like new, paint is pr...

Without getting to long winded, it depends on what era speedster you're trying to depict. The real era when speedsters were most popular was early teens to just past mid 20s. They were to some degree a sports car of the era. Heavy clunky looking tires don't fit the image. Did someone do it? Of cours...

I have one on my 1918 Ford American speedster, works and looks great.

Ed aka #4

Friday is a set up and a swap day.......open for business! Saturday Swap meet and pack up and go.. Hopefully not much to pack up.

Ed aka #4

So, how much do I owe for shipping?

Ed aka #4

Hey Frank, I found it! my address is 1807 East Ave. Hayward, CA. 94541. Money is on its way.

Hey Ken, you stated that you have some old top mount irons, I need a couple of small top bow mount brkts/studs. I'm re restoring an original 1918 American bodied (American Body Co.) speedster/roadster. I first saw this car in the late 1950s right after it was pulled out of the weeded field along sid...

Sorry, I never got the email. Not sure where it went, or I don't know where to look. I definitely want them, just gotta pay!

Ed aka #4

Just FYI, I've been running 600 steam cylinder oil for about 20 years in the rear end and auxilliary transmissions. I buy it in the 5 gallon tub from Western States Oil co. They don't sell it in smaller containers. going way back, I always used 140 and I had a Muncie transmission that consumed a lot...

Alright guys let's really put the blame where it belongs!!! We all do "stupid" things and most of the time call it fun. Nothing wrong with that. It is fun and challenging. Whether its running a Model T up a hill as fast as it will go, riding a skate board down a steep hill, climbing someone elses a ...

I'll take two drag link ball caps.How do I pay?

Ed aka #4

Keep 'em comin' Tom. Speedsters and race cars can be any make.

Ed aka #4

It may take a few days but I'll shoot some pictures as soon as I have time.

Ed aka #4

I've got one that I'm willing to sell but I don't think the glass is there.

Ed aka #4

Me too, and I'll be there!

Ed aka #4

Bruce traveled all over to cover events and anything needed for the Vintage Ford Magazine. When he retired that pretty much ended. "Buddy" said it right. Please write an article, send a picture, A good clear cover photo. Because we're now, every since Bruce left, depending on a great editor, which w...

Thanks Dan, Brian doesn't want it.

Ed

Not even an offer on any of this stuff? I especially thought someone would want the tail for a speedster body. And as for the Overland stuff, if you had an Overland with a major mechanical problem you'd gladly pay a couple hundred bucks for some of these components. Crazy hobby. Ed aka #4

Helping a friend that has a great aluminum rear body boat tail that would be perfect for a custom built speedster or race car and the price is almost give away. As you look at the pictures, the tail is setting on a 1920 to 23 Overland chassis which in itself would make a good speedster. The tail is ...

Not trying to beat out the parts vendors but I have one of those that I'd sell for $50.00 plus shipping. We'd have to compare measurements because I'm not sure exactly which one it is if there's more than one type from 09 to 12.

Ed aka #4

Update.........The car is still available, seriously. New price is $55,000.00.

Ed aka #4

Agreed! Some people don't get it!

Ed aka #4

Hi Bill, it was taken off the market because the owners wanted more money for it than what I had posted. I was trying to help them out by helping them sell it and that's the price that I set, they didn't agree.

Ed aka #4

Jerry, I'd like to accomodate you but not sure I'm willing to go through the effort. Probably shouldn't have mentioned my Warford. First thing is relatively easy and that's checking out the condition. It's in storage which is 30 miles away, bridge toll and all, but that aside, I can remove the top a...

I have a cast iron warford. $100.00 plus shipping. It's heavy.

Ed aka #4

Should be steady at all speeds. If it's not, the problem is generally in the speedometer not the drive. One of the mistakes most of us make is reviving a speedometer that has been dormant for 30, 50, 60 years and expect it to immediately perform properly. I'm one of those guys! I've been lucky mine ...

The Fronty Race car has been SOLD!

Ed aka #4

I set on this for awhile then just couldn't keep my big mouth shut. I've been running chains in my speedometers for 65 years, and have never had a problem, and hardly anyone drives more or faster (old #4) than I do. Lube the chain well with a good grease, I use Moly, and forget about it. I relube ab...

Direct answer; just us the 1915 parts. they'll all fit okay and be usable as is.

Ed aka #4

Alright $40.00 is acceptable plus shipping. And shipping will be a little pricey because it's cardboard and in order to ship it and the receiver get it undamaged it has to be shipped attached to something the same size made of a hard material (wood or thin plastic) so that it doesn't get bent during...

A photograph "turns me on" without one I rarely call.

Ed aka #4

You're right Tim, except lowbuck wasn't even this nice, but appeared the same.

Ed aka #4

From the estate of Tim Stangeland, a 1922 Ford Model T speedster. Tim was an industrial Arts teacher at Cupertino High School in California before he retired and moved to the state of Washington. His classes took on the construction/restoration of Model T speedsters and I believe that this was the l...

High quality very authentic older restoration, correct body color, dark green that appears black until you get into the right lighting. Open valve engine one piece pan etc etc. Very nice throughout except for each fender where the mounting bracket is, has paint cracking and chipping. The car was res...

Reduced price. For those of you that have wondered what the competition was like as Chevrolet began to outsell our first love......the Model T Ford, here's your chance to own one.

I'll try to keep this short. The Calistoga Classics ran from 1972 to 1975. It all began when I read in a publication that there was going to be some horseless Carriage races at the annual Napa fair in Napa, CA. I enquired only to find out that there was not enough participants and so it was canceled...

I'm open to offers on this. It needs a good home.

Speedometer cable and housing has been sold.

Ed aka #4

The running boards are sold.

Just FYI, I didn't receive any message.

Ed aka #4

Yeah, it's amazing how much the hobby has changed. I still love the hand cranking but there's fewer and fewer of us.

Two original Ford Torpedo running boards (Not Repro) removed from an older restoration Ford Torpedo roadster. They're in pretty good condition, with a couple of extra holes other than the ones for the carbide generator mounting. Some old rust pitting is visible under the repaint. Look at the picture...

Still cleaning house, kinda, and ran across a couple of 50 year old advertising posters for the old Calistoga Classics dirt track races that were held in conjunction with the Antique and Collectors Revival, a gigantic (for the time period) antique sale, held at the Napa County Fairgrounds in Calisto...

The sediment bowl is sold!

Ed aka #4

Sold! Finally someone with a solid vision stepped up and bought it.

Ed aka #4

Sorry David the weather vane has been sold.

Ed aka #4

Brass step plate is sold!

Ed aka #4

After 50+ years of storage, a little more house keeping, I finally decided to sell the old metal weather vane. Absolute great piece of original folk art, with the sport roadster scaring the chicken off the road. Overall size 39" long X 16" tall. Completely original condition. $500.00 Ed aka #4

KW Road Smoother shock absorbers. The pictures show them on an axle. The Axle was bent so I removed them from the axle and will throw the axle away. $150.00. Plus shipping.

Dodge Brothers mfg. early Model T front axle. Heavily primed smooth finish front axle. Really nice. $150.00 Plus shipping.

Ed aka #4

Old, heavy cast brass running board step plate. $60.00 plus shipping.

Everyone's got these things stashed away. Heck, I thought they were rare but evidently these are so common I should almost give mine away......if someone would even take it. and mine is an over restored "smoothie"

Ed aka #4

Thanks Allan, I needed that explanation. I'll take something above $60.00 if someone is willing.

Ed aka #4.

Evidently I priced this way to high. I assumed since it's original not repro it should be worth something. I didn't advertize it because I had nothing better to do. I want to sell it. Let's get it sold. Submit your offer or I'll end up using it. Not what I had in mind. Ed aka #4

Yes, for real this time. Money has transferred. It stayed in California. Went to the right people. In Chatsworth.

Ed

The Torpedo Roadster is sold. Thanks MTFCA.

Ed aka #4

Early brass Ford script sediment bowl. The shut off/on handle works fine. $90.00

Ed aka #4

Definitely color match the body. You open the door and......WOW!

Ed aka #4

Yeah the red shag rug is what makes this such an exciting deal. When have you had the opportunity to buy a T with red shag carpeting?? It even matches the color of those wire wheels.

Ed aka #4

Yeah, I didn't post the pictures, I was beginning to think no one cared so why bother. Here's a couple.

Ed aka #4

Price drop! Can't believe someone hasn't realized how much fun they could have with this thing just getting it running and enjoying it the way it is. It doesn't need a restoration just some TLC and refreshening. Sooner or later some ones going to wake up to what a deal this is. The 30X3 1/2 wire whe...

Hey, we need to get together, we have a pair of book ends.

Ed

Hey Van, the car is 132" total overall length, 88" wheel base, 49" tall, top of the windscreen to the floor. Send me an email and I'll send a bunch of pictures. karened4@att.net

No reproduction on that SOC engine. It's original.

Finally getting around to advertising my Frontenac single overhead Cam race car. If you want to really go fast you can't beat a single overhead cam Frontenac powered machine for speed....... and finishing a race. Faaasssst and ready to race, $25,000.00. More pictures on request. Ed aka #4

Well, it's back on the market. Hard to believe how many "serious" tire kickers are out there leading us down a path and then just fading away! And I won't mention any names. So anyone that was thoroughly disappointed for missing out, you now have a second chance. This could vie for the finest restor...

The Competition had 23 Horsepower. Cruises comfortably at 40-50 mph with a top speed of maybe 60 or so. (I've never run it at top speed)

Kingston 5 Ball Carburetor #128872. Appears to be in excellent condition. I didn't disassemble it. Everything visual functions properly and is not loosey goosey. $1250.00.

Yeah boys and girls, Steve is right. I inadvertently left that out of my instructions. Don't turn the ignition on until you've choked it.

Ed aka #4

Make sure you remove the Jack!!!

Ed aka #4

For cold weather starting, first off, always leave the car stored or parked with the emergency brake in the forward position (unless you're parked on a hill and need the emergency brake set) as it keeps the clutch discs clamped together, keeping the oil from getting in between them, so when you pull...

In a couple of weeks I'll have a 1910 Touring for sale. Older very correct restoration. Price will probable be in the $30.000.00 range.

Ed aka #4

Yes, this Torpedo is sold. Thanks.

I think this car could vie for the best Torpedo in the world. It's absolutely spectacular. Early 1911 Torpedo roadster, ground up restoration, equipped as it left the factory. Authentic in every way. Impeccable restoration completed and the owner died. It never saw the road. The gas tank is sparkly ...

Obviously I'm overpriced on this original piece, at least in the Model T world. Has our hobby gotten so screwed up that know one appreciates cars with real history any more, and would rather have something with a repro body and 26/27 engine, that's cute, and maybe costs less money. Too bad. Ed aka #4

If someone is headed to California and could bring it, I'd take a small drum. I just don't want to deal with the shipping hassle (cost and work involved) I'd drive to pick it up anywhere in California.

Ed aka #4

Ahhhh yes, I remember it well. Those are Riversides before they developed their famous tread. good for about 400 miles on the rears due to the unlimited power of that thing. I think we actually reached 63 MPH once!

Ed aka #4

Sooner or later some ones going to wake up to what a deal this is. The 30X3 1/2 wire wheels are worth a bundle by themselves. An original authentic 1913 Ford Model T light delivery, not a repo body, but original. Very authentic with what appears to be a brush painted 1940s/50s repaint and some tacke...

Stock model T I always only carry a timer and roller because I'm not one that checks regularly the condition of my timer and roller and so sooner or later it's going to give out and I'm prepared.

Ed aka #4

It was a well known fact back in the "olden days" 1960s. that Wards Riversides needed to be notched, other wise you'd loose a valve stem. I lost a few before I got the message.
