Brought home a 1925 Ford.

[Chris142]

My nephew in Oregon was willed this 1925 Ford. We went "Down the hill" to riverside,Ca and brought it to my place for now.

It's more complete than I thought it was. It has an engine and drive line. The fenders and running boards are in the bed of my truck. I just may have to see if I can get it to run. I know you retard the timing and crank the handle with your left arm.

My old non turbo is diesel Ford Truck pulled it up Cajon pass better than I thought it would. It held 50 mph in 3rd gear @3000 rpm.

Those old cars don't weigh anything. Happy tinkering!

IIRC, there's no water pump, they just rely on the thermo-siphon effect to circulate water and cool the motor.

My truck still didn't like it! Stupid 3.55 gears.... Needs 4.11's

Needs a turbo more!

If I remember correctly, there is no engine. Maybe an EV conversion?

They did have electric versions back then too. Maybe some LiFePO4 cells for long life, abuse tolerance and nil risk of fire.

Its a convertible ! Should be fun .

Is that CA-58?

I remember climbing those hills with a 72 hp NA diesel.

This was about as good as I could sustain:

That old Ford looks like it would be an awesome project, such a piece of history!

Gotta look up how many Model T's were made in 1925.
Good luck with your efforts.

Cajon pass

Don't break your arm trying to crank that thing.

What a cool thing to tinker on. Did you say before the tires look good?

They hold air so far

Fantastic!!!! That will make a great project

You can make your own "1928 Porter".

Also, you have 1/3 of the Munsters' Coach.

Cajon pass

I don’t know the difference or roads out there…

Regardless, I’ll bet it was a beautiful drive, and will be fun to see what you discover about this new Ford!

 

[DuckRyder]

Cool...

That should be fun.

 

[Fattylocks]

That's awesome. I would have tried cranking it as soon as it came off the trailer.
