Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this cool 1917 Ford Model T Runabout. By now it's a classic story, the Ford Model T put the world on wheels! Model Ts came in a myriad of body styles for every need and pocketbook. This Model T wears a Runabout body, which was a two door roadster with an integrated trunk out back. This car was blessed with a full restoration 20 years ago and well maintained since. Finished in a mile deep, black over black artillery wheels and black interior and top, this buggy looks near new. It's still starts via hand crank and presents and runs like a show piece! Turn the crank to build compression, turn the magneto switch, and it fires right up with barely two turns of the crank! Once running you'll be pleased to discover that all the levers and controls work as designed and the car is more than happy to zip along, with smooth shifting, and great braking. Accessories include a vintage gas, oil, and water tanks on the left running board and luggage rack. The car was recently treated to a rebuilt carb. New battery, reground valves, and four new coil boxes. This 1917 Ford Runabout is ready to go, it doesn't know it's 106 years old! A Minty Ford Model T is an uncommon find these days, especially one that runs as well as this with a Runabout body. Make it yours today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
