Looks like a nice one. What's the reason for a secret reserve? It seems like a waste of time having people make bids the seller won't accept.

I like it. I'd get it running and leave it looking just the way it is. Love that patina....And it's a good thing too. I'm too lazy to polish brass.:-)

He probably want's top $$ according to researched value. The car does need a few items and is not running as of the present time.
Hal the brass is the best part!!!!

It looks like the perfect HCCA/model T tour car. Nice enough to feel good parked next to the best of them. But not so nice as to worry about putting a small scratch in it. The best kind.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

Here's another one that came up for auction last night, I think the fiberglass front fenders could be painted underneath or replaced at a later date, just depending on what price it would sell for.

If I were selling the first one (black) I'd remove the dust and install the upper radiator hose before taking pictures.
An hour and a little elbow grease would certainly make it look better.

$10.000.00 is a whole lot better than the $55,000.00 asking price for the one in Plant City, Florida, currently for sale on ebay. Even with the dust, it looks pretty good.

I agree with Fred. Whenever I sell anything on ebay, I try to make it look as good as possible, especially if it is a car where appearance and first impressions are everything. If a seller goes to all the trouble of photographing, describing and listing a vintage car for sale, online, why not invest a couple more hours in a bath, a wax job and a little TLC to make it look less neglected so that potential buyers will pause for a second, third and fourth look. The car would look 100% better and may just get you several more thousand dollars. For that kind of money it would be time well spent. Jim Patrick

I also agree with Fred and Jim, making it look like it's going to Sunday school is definitely a plus, might I add that moving it out of the garage into the sunlight and onto a green grassy nondescript background would also help. Have it running, all good marketing ideas. It seems to me people think that just because they've got something old...that it is priceless...one of a kind...never before seen...give me a break, know what you are selling or accept less money. JMHO Wes

Those aren't fiberglass fenders.

That is rust and road dust on the underside of the fenders.

The old rusty lantern hanging under the passenger side of the seat is kind of a nice touch in a way, but it is actually a car inspector's lantern off of some railroad; due to location, probably the Northern Pacific RR or Great Northern RR.
