There is an ad in the classifieds for a 1911 Torpedo roadster. Living only about 40 miles away, I contacted the dealer who owns the car and he directed me to his website where he has a number of photos of the car. If anyone is interested, here it is. http://www.rpmscars.com/1911_Ford_Model%20T_Valley%20Springs_CA_154335375.veh
I plan on going over there in a few days to look at it. I am not personally interested in purchasing the car, but if anyone else is, let me know and I can report back.
Interesting T, but high price for such incorrect '11 parts. Engine is later with starter added, and rather unique front accessory wishbone split to thick castings on the frame rails. Has Ruckstell, but without accessory outside brakes, for me that is a negative
Would be a pretty tour car, just not show or concours as is.
Interesting aftermarket radius rod set up on front axle - attaches to the frame instead of the pan.

Found the adv on this type of radius rod, not exactly the same, this one was late accessory, first adv in Feb 1925 Fordowner.
Brand name "Common Sense" , East Liverpool OH

Lots of ways to keep the Ford straight on the narrow road
I have a common Sense one on a 26-7 2 dr sedan project and I sold one several yrs ago to a fellow in Kansas they completely do away with the front wishbone NEAT
