Sad to hear the passing of your friend. 68 is too young to go. But he now has no more pain.,

I live near Ottawa and I'm looking for a T with a rag top.
Something not too nice at affordable price.

Wow thanks a lot guys ! This place is wonderfull. I understand perfectly how it is now.

I think I'm learning model T world has a place for everybody. Unique I think !

Godabitibi

Maybe I should have said COMMUNITY instead of market.

Godabitibi

I've had the affliction a LOOOONG time ago in anything that has a motor.

I'm just trying to figure out what the motel T hobby is !
I know that is some car brands some are just seen as not a real car and simply rejected.

Godabitibi

As a newcomer I was questionning myself about the speedster in the model T market. How is it viewed by the collectors and purist. Is it considered as a real T or just a handmade car ? It is defenitely not the market Ford was looking when he introduced the model T. It is more like a rich kids toy not...

The rear one sure do consume oil.

Godabitibi

The horse and buggy was probably much easier in this weather condition.

I also think it look odd. The box is too long behind the wheels. It is also too nice for me. The only attractive side of it for me is it is very close to me and already plated in the province and ready to use.
For now I will stick to Lang's touring until it is ready to sell and decide then.

Yes the Robertson were the Best before torx but they look like carpenter screws on a car.
If Robertson had autorised the licensing it would have been different.

Godabitibi

And only 6 hours from home :-) It's not ready to sell they just got it in. They are putting in another engine with a coŕrect date serial number for it that they had in stock. And will make it driveable with all correct paperwork. Condition and look is exactly what I'm after. I now hope everything wi...

I may have found something with Ashley at Lang parts. And at least they know wat they are talking about.
A 22-23 crossover touring.

Godabitibi

Gateway classics only has consingment. I wished someone here knew the truck owner maybe. I went through most of the ads here.
Still looking. I will find something. No hurry. Asking info to educate myself and to feel what the market is.

Godabitibi

I'm not in search of a good looking car at all. And believe me I won't be fooled by fresh paint. I DO expect problems of any kind when buying a old car. The quality of cars I'm after WILL have problems. I'm very aware of that.

Godabitibi

Are the TT axle the same as a car? Could this be to identify a ton truck axle ?

Godabitibi

Yes I allready know that and have allready looked at tools needed to do it. Newcomer in T but I do my homework. Reading and learning as fast as I can. I guess my 23 years as a heavy mechanic teacher has something to do with it

Godabitibi

And BTW the cut touring I was ready to pay $8000 canadian so around $6200 US.

Godabitibi

I DON'T WANT a close body.

Ragtop or nothing.

Or a speedster.

Godabitibi

Thanks everybody, that is exactly the opinions I wanted. Just to clarify about me, I'm new to T but not a newcomer in the car world. I've had WAY TOO MANY cars in my life. Of all types and brands. Worked on very old to very new cars from volkswagen to Ferrari and Lamborghini. I seriously don't see a...

Sure doesn't look a 100 years old. I way prefer the look of the cut touring. It's like a old house with perfect vanish straight and no wear steps.

Godabitibi

A beginners T question but were the Phillips screws used in the Ts ? My guess is NO but I now nothing about it.
Anything old and American has flat blade screws from my experience.

Godabitibi

My questionnjng is "did Ford sold a lot of "chassis" that owners could built what they wanted ?
I also see it as a home made thing. But there seem to be a lot of them for sale.

Godabitibi

Absolutely love it. Unbelievable how these old cars deserve respect after a century and still running.

Godabitibi

Well, the cut touring being no more for sale I still look at what's for sale not too far. There is this nice looking wood body truck. Actually fully registered and plated in my province so it would be a easy buy. Almost twice the price of the cut touring but condition is also very different. Almost ...

Godabitibi

Why run away ? What is so wrong with it ?
All together and well running and not rust.
What is the value as it is ?

Godabitibi

Owner is now not sure if he still want to sell. Sellers remorse

Godabitibi

Personally I'd be very happy as it is now. But eventually I would try to make it a bit nicer. Try to make the cab rear coner as a real roadster an possibly replace the rear fenders with new ones. But the owner just removed his ad, so I contacted him and he is now having secknd thoughts about selling...

As you can see here the serial number is C459XXX so it is canadian. Also the head has the "made in canada".

The one I found is a Canadian with à C to begin the vin number. Originally a touring and it has à Wood firewall. Is this how it should be ? All the pics of 24 I found have Steel.

Godabitibi

I found a T that is attractive to me. It's totally rust free, complete and running. It's a touring that has been converted to a roadster pick up. It looks exactly to what I'm after. Other than the MOD it look all original and correct for the unedudated T guy like me. I looked at all the availaible p...

Hi everybody, I'm new here and would like to introduce myself. I'm looking to buy a Model T for the first time. I've always been a collector car owner and just bought a old house with a 100+ years old barn and would like to get a car to match the barn :-) I am Canadian and would like to find a canad...
