Hemmings Find of the Day – 1926 Ford Model T lakes modified

1926FordModelT_01_700

While this 1926 Ford Model T lakes modified for sale on Hemmings.com was inspired by the Bo Jones lakes modified, somehow it looks to have better proportions and a sleeker profile. Could be the attention to detail, especially in that sanitary Miata four-cylinder installation, or it could simply be the lack of excessive pinstriping and other decoration on the Bo Jones car. Either way, this one looks to be clean and a fun little ride. From the seller’s description:

all hand built 6 years ago. Starting with a flawless steel body that was narrowed by 8 ½ inches, the car was modeled to resemble Bo Jones famous modified-style T although this car is unique and not intended to be a clone. Painted in a brilliant Polyurethane Orange with bright red accents, this car gets noticed anywhere it goes. In addition to the laser straight body the exterior features custom aluminum hood and false side panels, Bell style dropped front axle, Posie rear spring, cut down windshield, and 1935 Ford wire wheels (rears widened by 2”) wrapped in Coker Firestone Deluxe Champion tires. The interior features a custom built Swedish Brown Leather Seat, floor shifter, Classic Instruments, removable steering wheel and tan carpet. The unique power train consists of a 4 cylinder Mazda Miata 1.8 liter / 133 HP that is fully chromed and polished and features a custom cut down manifold. All of this is backed by a close ratio 5 Speed manual transmission and 1940 Ford Quick Change rear axle.
