Indiana- a local hill climb competition took a wide array of entrants including a turbo diesel Dodge, a sheriff's patrol car, a Hummer H2, and a Model T. Yes, Model T like Henry Ford in 1921 Model T. Gary Le Fever, 70, has made a few modifications to the 86 year old ringer, like some parts from a Model A, valves from the 1920's and carburetors from 1930, that boost the T's HP up to 100 from its standard 20.
The decked-out oldster smoked it's competition up the 475ft climb, besting the H2 by
.78 seconds with a time of 9.96. Ouch for the Hummer, slower than a Tin Lizzy with 216 less horsepower.
