Harley powered 23 T coupe!! - 05/29/08 02:23 AM
I picked up a car tonight and the guy tells me about this 1923 Model T coupe he has and wants to show it to me. This is the coolest thing I've seen built in a long time. He said the car has 12,000 original miles and was put in dry storage in 1935. The paint on the fenders and doors is original Henry Ford black hand rubbed laquer 
. The guy used a Harley Davidson Screamin Eagle engine and trans. He changed it to a chain drive and then had a machine shop make the connection to the driveshaft. It uses an electric motor geared to the driveshaft for reverse and has an S-10 3:23 geared rearend. The stock front axle had a couple of springs removed and then recessed into the frame and new 5" on 5" hubs were made to fit the axle. The grill is homemade and the brake and clutch use the Harley foot pegs. He says it will run 80mph with ease and is a blast to drive. Wish I could have gone for a ride 
. He wants $20,000 for it and if I had that kind of stash it would be at my house in a minute
