Here’s one you don’t see every day.
The driver of a 1923 Ford Model T hot rod was pulled over by Hills Highway Patrol officers after being caught allegedly “accelerating aggressively” in the Sydney suburb of Castle Hill, according to The Hills Police Area Command’s Facebook page.
While no photos were shown of the hot rod, we suspect it looks quite a bit different from the stock ’23 Model T pictured below.
The 24-year-old driver of the modified classic was allegedly detected travelling at 83km/h in a 60km/h zone.

When he was pulled over, he allegedly returned a negative result from a roadside breath test, but on a roadside drug test he returned a positive result for cannabis and cocaine.
Police collected a secondary oral fluid sample, allegedly confirming the presence of cocaine and THC while also detecting methamphetamine.
The driver was issued a 24-hour prohibition notice and a defect notice for the vehicle.
Police claim the vehicle had “multiple faults including nonfunctional brake lights and indicators” and “had been modified beyond factory specifications and was deemed unroadworthy”.
The driver is now due to appear at Parramatta Local Court on August 14, 2025.
