I have a complete and unassembled 09 T Ford. Been in barn for decades. 99% complete. Just needs tires and leather. And restoration. Barn find. I have know idea what it should go for. Any help from you fellows would be great. I want to see this car go to a great home. And I want to see it restored, and hopefully a ride in it! I have pics, I just needs your email address. Thanx email me at johnnyripon@yahoo.com
John,
Do you know what the engine number is? Also, what body style. Any pics would be helpful too.
Thanks,
Rob
Rob, you don't need another '09. Just ask Holly!
The only way I know how to send pics is through email. I can't figure it out on this site.
Have some kid do it for you.
Steve,
Your right. However, it's always good to see early Fords being "brought back to life". Sounds like John would like to see it restored and on the road again. It would be a good winter project for you .
Rob
gosh how i wish i could get something like that!! maybe if he emailed the pics to somone who know s how to post them?
also john i see you are in california, where are you located at?
Matthew, Ripon is on old 99 in San Joaquin County, between Modesto and Manteca.
John sent some pics. They were large, so I downloaded some and am posting them for him.
Oh, I WISH I could afford something like that! It isn't even but a three hour drive from me. I hesitate to give an estimate of value.
That's not what I'd call a barn find - most of it seems like it's already restored
With help from here you can put it together and have fun with it - or get a much better price, John
I requested some pictures through PM. Obviously, he didn't get that. Oh well, another chance down the drain..........
William,
Your "chance" isn't down the drain. John only sent me the pics to post for him. It would be good to see a complete inventory. It looks like a lot of the real work is finished. Might be a great opportunity for someone to own an early T.
I agree with Roger, it looks like a person could put things together and really have something, if most of the pieces are there.
Rob
thanks Rob lol
That is a dream! I know it's what I've always hoped to find (along with most of the folks on this forum). But it is out of reach for me right now. The only thing that would be better would be to find a pre-2500 1909 Model T.
The best way to post a lot of photos is open an account like Photobucket. You can do it for free and when setting up make the photos public. Then all you have to do is put the link in your ad.
As a side note; any time you put a photo here it becomes public. Just do a Google image search.

He's less than 8 miles from me.
The E & J head light is a reproduction. The running board is the basic 1909 style and not the real early style. The loose differential housing is a later 1909 and early 1910 housing. What is the serial number of the engine or the brass body plate?
Rob, did you leave out the photo of the other side of the engine on purpose?
The engine number is for a 1910 at # 44,289 but it is a nice start. We all know that 1909 engines stop at # 31,900 and 1910 engines begin at # 31,901
James,
No, I didn't have it. If I had the engine number I would have looked it up.
I do know John's father was building/restoring this car and it appears to be a great start for someone looking for an early T project. I wish it worked for John to finish it, however we know things don't always go as we hope.
I don't know John personally, but appreciate (and support) his desire to see his fathers project move on to another enthusiast who will finish it and even give John a ride some day.
Rob
The transmission cover is typical of 1910.
'09, '10, who cares which it is? I am glad I have a mostly '13 speedster nearing ready to tour and a '15 runabout (in much worse shape than this '10) in the early stages of restoration. I would offer to trade them both plus my coupe for the '10, but I know the value difference. I still wish I could afford it.
Dan H,
This is just what you need! I hope to see you again soon.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
Model year 1909 ended with #8107, calendar year with #14161. #44289 is a march 1911 engine, one of the last with a one piece pan. Still a fun project car - sadly John would probably get more $$ by selling it in pieces..
I would care which it was if I were buying it. There is a great deal of difference in rarity and value of the earlier parts and cars.
The body looks typical of 1909 - 10, and is not appropriate for the 1911 engine. The rear axle housing shown is a 6 rivet type, typical of 1911. Wonder if this is a 1911 - ish chassis with a reproduction 1909 - 10 body? If so it might make sense to find or build a proper body for the chassis.
