Sophia Renken's red 1923 T roadster
The family would like to see her T go to a loving new home, as none of them know how to start it, much less drive it. Last week I started and drove her T for the first time in months. It is obviously balanced, it runs and drives smoothly and very strong. It has a Ruxstell, an original Bosch front plate distributor and Rocky Mtn Brakes. It also suffers from a few other improvements, which can be easily remedied over a weekend with a trash can. It has a fuel pump, an alternator, an oil pump, a waterpump, a Model A carb and intake manifold, but still has its T exhaust manifold, and a hokey exhaust system with a modern oval muffler. the only benefit of the latter seems to be that it is a little quieter, but I am sure the car came to her this way. Body and fenders are straight, paint is older, ok for a driver, upholstery and top are older and intact, no rips or tears. The family is asking $10K for it, BUT are open to all offers. Brett's cell phone is 817-733-3543. I have tried to figure out how to add a couple photos below, but in case that did not work, email me back and I will send them to you. I would think in the $8K range +/- would be a good buy for a great driving car that just needs a little cleaning up. Best, Jeff

I can verify this car is very fast. Sophie was always out in front when we were touring.
We were also very good friends and toured many times together.

Sophia was a member of the Riverside/Corona MTFCA Chapter. I followed her on the I 215 freeway in Riverside Ca. once when she was going 65 MPH. That car halls assss. Nobody in the club could keep up with her. Don
