I have driven my '20 T once, and it was a monster!

The seller said he remembered his father building (rebuilding?) the car about 1950, but rarely ever driving it. The seller did get it out on an open stretch of pug road in the 1970s, and promptly reached about 85 mph with plenty of leg remaining.

My one put around in a field was enough to convince me some upgrades were necessary. I have assembled an actual roadster body for it. It already has some Rocky Mountain-style brakes, but I may opt for four wheel discs.

My next T will probably be a little more stock.
