Projects So Cool to see your Very First car for sale on the HAMB

I bought my very first car on my 16th birthday in 1966, a rough 1926 T Tudor. Car was so rough I replaced enough parts to have a 1927 Touring when I parted with it around 1973. Today it turned up on the HAMB for sale a proven TROG race car. Hope another good caretaker is out there. Merry Christmas! Bob

Awesome. Such a cool car!

 

Pretty cool to see that it's still around and someone is having fun with it.

 

It's a great car it's a lot of fun I'm out of room and have two projects going currently that I need to have finished by June it's cool that it's a solid car and has some history

 

Looks like a darn good deal, too! Someone's gonna get a cool car at a great value!

 

Buy it back ! You know you want to.

 

Bob you need to buy this. It is already wired! It is pretty cool.

 

Sounds like a trade could possibly be worked out if enough interest is there.

 

Buy it now you may never get another chance !

 

I'll chip in 25 bucks, to the "Big Bad Bob T" fund, kind sirs.

 

Guess you guys deserve "The Rest of the Story" and it may help sell it. I bought the T Tudor on my 16th birthday and it was delivered just around New Years Day 1967. Upgraded parts that needed to be and swapped out the Tudor for a Touring body and collected almost every Ford Factory accessory for the car. Back then you could find NOS stuff in Hemmings. I needed to pay for a two bay garage filled with 4Banger race car parts, a DO Green powered Sprint Car (engine is now in Speedy Bill's in Lincoln, Nb.)and a Harley Knucklehead powered Midget, the sale of the T covered that. The guy that bought the T loved every bit of it, I even had a gallon of paint mixed to match the factory green. I figured I'd see the restored car within two years, but it never shower up. Scrolling through eBay 2 or was it 3 years ago some familiar T parts popped up, my old T was being parted out! The guy I sold it to never did a thing to it, and had passed on. Just an hour away I went to look at it. Wire wheels, engine, fenders had been sold. The windshield and posts still looked as good as the day I painted them, posts were NOS, I can remember setting the glass in the cork bedding tape as clear as it was yesterday, and installing the American flag and MTFCA decals that are still on it today. Thought long and hard about buying all the bits, but decided to keep plowing along on the projects I have now. The T was the first of my collection of unfinished projects, it is good that it found a proper home and raced at TROG, and people got to see it race. Bob

 

Damn had I known it was factory green that is what color it would have gone

Holy moley, Bob...That tub! Just like mine!

 

This is how I pictured it all restored. It was a fun project and let meet a lot of people that have been lifelong friends for 50 years. Fifty years, I can remember so many events related to this car they seam like yesterday. Bob

 

Story gets better. Increasing pledge to 100 smackers. Who's with it ? Only need 130 more like minded yahoos. Bob's completed T project find fund.

 

The T really was a great start, but I've moved on. I really want to find whatever is left of this car, last known photo from 1951. Bob

 

Not sure about the car but I think I saw those hats at John's Best Pizza.
