i'll start it off with my 22 Armadillo body, I got three all told, but two I just bought and will wait a bit to expose them.

This is a 1920 built in 1966 and rebuilt in 1975.

It's making it's way to being a car.

Here is the "speedster project" I am currently rebuilding the engine for it. The old "colorized" picture is my "inspiration photo" Hope to have it running by springtime .

Here is the 1914 speedster that somehow showed up a few months ago. I finally got it started a few days ago. It is not the main project, so it only gets worked on when Im waiting for other things and have a little spare time ..

Peerless is my favorite color. (;o)

A fun little car. Showing some signs of use and abuse now but all well earned.

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2019 2:19 pm**

I always liked Phil Reed's T he drove before he helped build "Daffodil". Phil passed away last September at the age of 98. He was a great car guy.

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2019 2:39 pm**

They're all GORGEOUS......and give me ideas for the car I hope to start this spring. Walt, did you ever give thought to simply sanding and varnishing that beautiful wood body? Don't get me wrong, it turned out nice but the wood "would" have really made a different car!

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2019 3:10 pm**

Closest I get to a speedster. Rajo powered sprint car. Enjoy

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2019 3:40 pm**

Finally figure out how to login again! This is my car and the franklin racer is what I’m planning it to resemble. Here are also some pics of it along the way and to also show I’ve done more than it looks.

Wow Boys, very nice speedsters/race cars. Here is mine.

Posted: **Wed Jan 23, 2019 11:51 pm**

Here's mine. It was built by my grandfather in the early '70s. My 15 year old son is in the driver's seat for the start of the 2015 Santa Clara endurance run.

Just to add to the growing pictorial display here are a few (9) of the speedsters I've had over the years and eventually sold, several of which I have deep regrets about!!

Posted: **Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:46 am**

the rest

Posted: **Thu Jan 24, 2019 1:51 pm**

This is Ricky. I built it in the 90's for my daughter and son-in-law but now the younger grandson thinks it is his.
Who am I to complain.....

It still runs good, I took it to Richmond last year and it ran just fine for the whole tour. I took it to tee AZ Speedter Run in 2018 and we came fourth, I was getting tired, old age.....

Posted: **Thu Jan 24, 2019 4:14 pm**

Got this one about 2 weeks ago, one more to be delivered this weekend!

Now if someone would buy my huckster, I could look for another.

Posted: **Thu Jan 24, 2019 11:09 pm**

1926 Owned by my Mom, built by my mom and dad in the 80's restored by me around 2000. 1922 Built by myself with a ton of help by my Grandpa circa 1990's. Current build under construction is a 1927 with my Son (4th generation).

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2019 3:20 am**

Rod L, NINE! You are worse than me! I have collected, resurrected, driven and enjoyed five in the past 45 years, all of them sold despite me wanting to keep them. Numbers six seven and eight waiting in the wings.

Rich, Love the yellow speedster, this is the first time I can remember seeing it. Do you drive it much? The detail is nice. It is great all you sharing. These cars have to be built, there is a special kind of appreciation here.

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2019 11:40 am**

This was the speedster I had for 35 years ... just sold it a couple of years ago to buy my '23 Runabout. I do miss the speedster though ... drove it for many many miles.

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2019 11:59 am**

Scott,

Your Paco is spectacular. I love the lowered stance, it really makes the car look sporty. To my taste, a T speedster or racer needs to get closer to the ground to make it look like.....a speedster. The color is also great.

Is that a Model C Roof head?

Tom

This is my Mercury (#1249) when I bought it . It is now under restoration. There are photos on the 2018 forum.

Tom yes it is a model C Roof they have their own exhaust note compared to any other overhead but a lot more monkey motion

Posted: **Fri Jan 25, 2019 3:18 pm**

Steve good to see that car in daylight again hopefully see it on Charles Labor Day run

Posted: **Sat Jan 26, 2019 10:18 am**

All really cool cars.

Posted: **Sat Jan 26, 2019 12:03 pm**

Here is my speedster/ race car. It is registered as a 1921. The unique thing about this car is the automatic c4 transmission. It has an early Rajo racing head with out the heat riser. It has a model A full pressure crank and insert bearings.

This picture was taken a few years ago now, built my Speedster in high school around 1981-82. A lot of Good times with good friends in this car. Still a lot of fun to race around in.

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2019 7:06 pm**

Said to be: "the last Blaker speedster". Original owner's name painted on the hood is "Shatswell Special". Tom Shatswell of Sparks and then Turlock?

The Blaker setup.

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2019 9:25 pm**

I might finish this before I retire. I actually have most of the parts to complete, I just need time and motivation.

Parts gathered (and thus planned), include complete A steering from column to front axle, T engine with '28 Chevy head, 19" A wheels, '24 cut off touring body. Frame has 5" drop front and rear, and is shortened 4" in wheelbase. More of a Gow Job than a speedster though.

Posted: **Fri Feb 01, 2019 11:36 pm**

A little while ago I drove back to CA an while there was able to tweak my Mom's speedster and give my boy his first speedster ride. He wanted to drive all day even in the cold.

Posted: **Sat Feb 02, 2019 1:32 pm**

Forgive me for borrowing this but I though it had some real charm. It was on the "Just a Car Guy" site which I have no connection with.

I think 2 engines in a model T might be like having 2 wives. I've not tried either both at the same time.
