Dragula: 1927 Ford Model T Roadster
I really hate to rub it in…well, that’s not entirely true, because I love spreading this around like mayonnaise on the world’s largest submarine sandwich — but as the rest of the country wallows in snow/sleet/ice we denizens of Southern California tool around in our climate control free roadsters…because it is so bloody expensive that we can’t afford a nice car. Find this 1927 Ford Model T Roadster offered for $12,500 in Winchester, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
This hot rod starts with a ’27 Ford T-Bucket body/frame, but adds a 355 cubic inch Chevy small block, with a high lift camshaft, a 3-speed manual gearbox (I applaud the interesting gearbox choice), and a ’39 Ford rear end.
