Not quite a 100% unmolested original in my opinion.

The body appears to have been sanded down to bare metal and then repainted at one time - perhaps the 1950s. Original factory gilsonite paint does not delaminate or flake off the body in the manner shown.

Fenders have been repainted over original paint - newer paint is also delaminating. Splash aprons also appear to have been painted over.

Still . . . it displays a lovely patina and I'm just glad that cars like this still come up for sale once in a while. This is what I like Model Ts to look like. It will draw a crowd wherever parked, and when you crank this thing into life, expect standing ovations.

Too many cars, too little money. Lots of fun to look at.
Thanks

The radiator looks newer as well. No dings, metal is all straight. Also no solder visable.

What kind of headlights are those and aren't the front fenders 15 style?

Build date is August of 1913, looking for headlight doors and carbide tank, they're on the Hershey Shopping list for this fall.

The fenders are typical for most of 1914 production. Late 1914 cars had billed front fenders with 4 rivets holding the bracket to the sheet metal.

The headlights look like JNO Brown model 16 missing the rims and lenses.
