Lot #684 - The "King T" was designed and built by Don Tognotti and Gene Winfield over a two-year period from 1962 to 1964. It features a tubular frame with independent rear suspension and '51 front coils. Power comes from a Chevy 327ci mated to a Hydramatic transmission, the shifting of which is done via the original Model T spark advance and throttle controls on the steering column. The "King T" was restored to its former glory in 2007. Gene Winfield himself was brought in to recreate the original Wild Lavender Pearl paint. The car's original Hilborn fuel-injection system was replaced with a simple carburetor system during the restoration. The car has always been known more for its styling, paint and extensive chroming. The "King T" was the 1964 AMBR trophy winner and it also won at the Winter Nationals Auto Fair and the Oakland Roadster Show. The "King T" was so famous it was immortalized as a model kit and as the Hot Wheels "Hot Heaps" Roadster. From the Tammy Allen Collection.
