Agree 100%. If someone has a question about an item they have for sale it can be done via the forum message system or email.

let the poor guy just sell his car I sure hope he’s able to sell it. Looks like a great car. Everyone, including him needs to understand what the price should be. If he says it’s yours for $18,000 and a month later you get a bill from the Feds saying you owe $4500 I’m sure you’ll just be thrilled t...

I can tell some of you don’t want to hear how the tariffs are implemented, and that’s exactly what was asked. Find an attorney that’s very familiar with international trade and understands the wording and implementation of this tariff. That’s what I did……. I learned a few things spending 35 years in...

Not necessarily all , or any $$ amount, of the car’s current value will be taxed importing items. It says that the body was restored by “The Craftsman”, in California, and I bet that many of the other parts used in restoration came from USA suppliers. If there are records of the car being once owne...

Peter, I had a guy do a car for me once and he did a wonderful job of painting it. When I got it home I noticed a misalignment with a gap changing in width about 1/8th inch from front to rear, about a 4 ft distance. I wasn’t going to have that. So I began adjusting and aligning. When done I had perf...

Brent, I know what you mean when you start putting overhead on top of just the wages. On my employees we got in a bind on health insurance. I wasn’t going to let them go without and it got as high as $1000/month to provide them a single employee health insurance plan. So it was costing me about $12/...

Build it yourself, thats the fun of a T. That highwheeler looks great, I can imagine that you could do the just as well.

Thanks. Available time is an issue.....

Tommy,
Which one are you looking for?
Corcoran, Victor, E&J, JNO Brown

I would consider any if the condition is right. If asked for preference I'd probably say E&J.

My only comment would be for you to “paint it” before you “put it together”.

I know where you're coming from......

Good question JiminBartow. Cost to do this is open for discussion with those who have interest in doing it. Some folks think they're worth and want $100 or more per hour. Others think $40. So part of it will depend on how familiar the person is with a project such as this, the prior work they've do...

Thanks everyone. Yes, this is the 2 lever that was in France. I bought it a few weeks ago. Kim is familiar with the chassis and has seen numerous photos and info on it. I've worked on and restored several old cars through the years but this Model T needs an expert working on it. My last old car bui...

OK everyone, I’m looking for something a bit out of the ordinary. I’m looking for someone, preferably on the west coast (southern half of California) who is very knowledgeable about early T’s (preferably has worked/restored one or more) who would consider taking on the task of putting one together. ...

Thanks Andy.

I’m looking for an early brass carbide generator. Excellent quality repo is ok. This is for an 09 T. I have numerous T items to trade or of course, the universal trading item, $$$.

Thanks. I thought it would be good to list here since it’s a complete car build situation. I will list there as well.

The reason I use “2 7 zero” is to keep the bots from grabbing it. Yes, a scammer can still decipher but if many of you are like me your info such is out there already on business sites and the like. If you’re wise to be cautious, you can avoid the scammer. Be cautious of: 1. The person who is a new ...

Sent you an email

I remember seeing that car at Snyders a number of years ago. I thought it was the best looking original I’d ever seen. He had it for sale at that time and I don’t remember what the price was but I thought it was very reasonable then…..as it is now.

Keith, I’ll look out of curiosity and see what dates on it. I’m sure it’s the correct head and I’d bet it’s a Oct/Nov or thereabouts date.

After an inquiry I did pull the head to see how it looked. It’s obvious the engine has been rebuilt and never ran since the rebuild. The dirt dobbers had gotten in the spark plug holes and left some dirt by did no damage. The pistons had “.020” on them and are aluminum. I sprayed a bit of WD 40 on i...

The engine has been sold. Thanks for your interest and info!

Looks nice, it would be nice to see if the Head is an early one with no made in USA. Trans cover appears to be the early version without the reinforcements. Looks like 7 rivet pan. Can’t tell if the pan is an early version with the 2 rivet collar casting on the rear. Thanks Tbird. I think the pan i...

I found the valve cover that's not in the picture. I also took the trans cover off to see what it looked like. Very clean and its obvious someone has been there before. The gasket had no oil on it so its never been touched since someone was into it. Model T engine 1912 Trans cover.jpg Model T engin...

If you've got an early T here's an engine for you. According to the T SN listing, this engine was in a car sold in Dec. 1911. There isn't a casting date on the engine (that I've found). The SN on it is 88211, So this was probably in a 1912 Model year car. However, it could have been in an 11 sold l...

Already had a question sent me inquiring about the rods running from the firewall to the front fenders. These were evidently some sort of stabilizer rods that a previous owner put on (it looks like many, many years ago). These were very neatly done. If the car got a full restoration I’d pull them o...

Here’s the last pics. Thanks

Last run of pictures. If you have any questions feel free to text or call me at
two 7 zero ..... 7 6 five ..... 9 5 four zero

Anyone is welcome to come and personally view the car.

SOLD - Out of room and time to move a few old cars. I've got a 15-16 Model T Touring. I call it "15-16" as the title says 1915 however the engine casting date would put it built in 1915 but possibly classified as a 16 model. I've heard and read too many of the forum banters regarding "what year you...

Ready for a good blasting and priming! Just kidding. What a wonderful example.

The car has been sold (I bought it). Very pleased with it. Thanks.

I have a ‘15 touring I’d sell. Nice straight no rust body. Has a 26 engine with starter in it now but comes with the correct complete ‘15 engine. Will run as is but needs some tinkering. Wheels are good, has top irons. Front fenders are excellent. Rear fenders are dented but it comes with a set of N...

John, I’d love to make out to Brooks, Oregon.

Darn I like that truck you built. I just wish you weren’t 2500 miles away.

Looks like you got a nice one.

That’s really cute. Transport costs kills the chance of it making out east. If it was within a 5 hour drive of me….I’d buy it just to take to a few parades.

I have no interest in these. Just providing info for those who desire it.

The Roadster was still there around 3:00 this afternoon. Don’t know if he’s sold it yet or not.

Thanks Tom. The gent isn’t available today. I’ll be visiting him tomorrow to look at them. Luckily I’m only 30 minutes away from him.

Just curious, did those have a cut down real T front end? The front end looks like the real thing possibly cut down.

Is that car still on the market? I might be interested.
