I think it's a 1920.
Definitely not show quality but no rust and has a fun patina to it
I have the cowling
Straight body
Street legal
Brand new lithium batteries
Brakes and LED lights work
Good Tires
Goes about 40 MPH with fast acceleration
3 ish hour range at cruising speed
Great Airport or going downtown to dinner/parade car

About $17K into this project so I think $12,500 is a fair price

John Steinbeck offered the following remarks about the Model T (with the original internal combustion engine) in Cannery Row (1945):

Quote:

“Someone should write an erudite essay on the moral, physical, and esthetic effect of the Model T Ford on the American nation. Two generations of Americans knew more about the Ford coil than the clitoris, about the planetary system of gears than the solar system of stars. With the Model T, part of the concept of private property disappeared. Pliers ceased to be privately owned and a tire pump belonged to the last man who had picked it up. Most of the babies of the period were conceived in Model T Fords and not a few were born in them. The theory of the Anglo Saxon home became so warped that it never quite recovered.”

Michael,

Please tell me more about the conversion. Range, performance cost and source specifically.

Would you happen to still have the old roof or seat covers w/patina for my unrestored 1927 jalopy?

Or any removed original engine parts.

Thanks,
Norman

Pretty risqué for 1945.

We lose on every sale. We make up for it in volume:)

I’m pretty sure the original engine is sitting in the T hangar. Nothing else left.
