Not many T parts, steering upper column & wheel, maybe the tail lamps. Wheels are 19" A wheels, rear axle is something else with V-8 springs, Front axle appears to be 34 or later V8, everything else is ???

Engine looks British, maybe MGA, but I'm not sure.

Someone has gone to a lot of effort, but why would you ? Good buying still at $5 - tail lights look good !

Shortened TT frame?

Whatever it is, I think of all things it would be a great pile of parts to build a cheap-o early-style T-bucket from, just replace the body with maybe a reject cut-off touring and the engine with something more period.

I wonder how long it could have driven on the wheels with how poorly they were supported by the hubs ...

I like it. I know it is far from original, but would be a neat little toy to drive around town in.

Yes, cute toy, this is no more a Model T than a Bliss Surrey is a Curved Dash Oldsmobile--although I know of at least one licensed as such.
Ah, an there's the rub, no paperwork with this car--how do you get it titled? Homemade?? It certainly doesn't have any "safety" features!

On the windshield it was registered and titled in New York State 2003
