By Robert Poane on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 06:39 pm:I bought a 1912 partially restored 1912 touring. Not a bitsa car like the 14 I just sold. I hope you don't mind, but I have a lot of questions. It has the front door and dummy door. Just sharing some pictures.
By Don Booth@ Bay City, Mi on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 06:54 pm:I like it !!
By Royce in Dallas TX on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 06:55 pm:Nice! 1912 is perhaps the year of the Model T that had the most changes. Several body styles, constantly evolving details. From the pictures it appears you have most of the right stuff Robert.
By Andrew Deckman, Ogden Utah on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 09:19 pm:Looks like there is a front bearing seal missing.
By Cameron Whitaker on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - 10:27 pm:Nice looking car, and it looks like it has lots of potential! I'm sure that she'll keep you occupied for quite a while!
By Lee Frost Pierce on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - 01:06 am:Mine looked like yours when I got it in 1982 Mine has the rear door handles on the inside of the door Have a lot of fun restoring it. Lee

By Charlie B actually in Toms River N.J. on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - 10:27 am:I suppose it's a long way off Robert but I was wondering if that upholstery is salvageable? Nice car. You have a lot of "main" (read expensive) parts. Any ideas on the engines condition? I'm assuming that boat anchor of a trans is a spare.
By Larry Smith on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - 11:06 am:I hope you got the doors with it. If not, they seem to be around. Nice project.
By Bob Coiro on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - 11:08 am:Congratulations! If I could have any Model T Ford I wanted, I'd pick a 1912 Touring. Love that diamond-tufted upholstery, open front seating, those long windshield braces and more brass than a Pentagon luncheon!
By Olivier CHABANNE on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - 04:04 pm:Congratulations robert.
This 1912 is very beautiful.
The seats appear to be in good condition, is that you will keep the cook in this state?

By Robert Poane on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 - 09:20 pm:Thanks guys! I have the doors -dummy and real, they came with the car. They are in very good condition. After vacation (to the Caribbean) I will take the engine and trans to a guy in our club to inspect and rebuild. The engine was rebuilt about ten years ago, but I do not know what it is like on the inside. So it needs an inspection.
By Joseph Geisler on Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 03:29 pm:What a FIND!!!!
By John Gelfer, Milwaukee WI on Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 03:41 pm:Beautiful. I'm partial to 1912's too. Good luck with the restoration.

Very nice.
Do you know the body maker? Can you find a body number?
I'm glad you have the doors for it!

By Mike Garrison_Rice Minnesota on Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 10:28 pm:Bob, who sold you that thing. There's no way you should have to lay awake night after night dealing on such a car. Why don't you go ahead and send it up to me here in Rice MN and I'll take the necessary steps to deal with it accordingly. I hope you understand that because I'm doing you a favor, it'll be up to you to pay for the shipping and you'll have to pay me a small representative fee. :-)
That is one sweet deal. Congratulations.
By George Button III (Chip), Lake Clear, NY on Thursday, January 24, 2013 - 10:54 pm:Very Nice!! Congrats and good luck....Chip.
By Robert Poane on Friday, January 25, 2013 - 06:51 am:Thanks for all the kind words. I am going on a Caribbean cruise tomorrow which I absolutely love! But I'm bring my T magazine and vender book to look at! Can't wait to get home and work on her.
There is a body number on the front seat and a body number on the rear seat???? I will report after the trip. Bob
