Re: What is a Model T worth today?
That article isn’t new, it’s been around quite a while. It’s just “click bait” to get you to look at advertisements.
The author of that article is ignorant in regards to its subject matter. He obviously doesn’t understand the HUGE DIFFERENCE between advertised price and/or “big talkers” at car shows versus what the vehicles actually sell for!

Re: What is a Model T worth today?
An authentic 1915 Touring that is in "good" condition and is mostly original is worth around $17,500.00
A 1912 version of the above is worth a bit over $20,000.00
A well put together Model T Speedster is worth somewhere between $10,000.00 and $15,000.00 with more value added for expensive upgrades like a full complement of brass lights, Buffalo wheels, and/or a racing head.
Tour ready Model Ts from the 1920s can be found for less than $10,000.00 up to twice that price for an excellent example.
Of course, there are rare totally original pristine cars who's value rise well above all these but these need not be included in a general assessment of "what Model Ts are worth these days".

Re: What is a Model T worth today?
The first "TT" pictured isn't. It's a T. The parts salad that follows it may actually be on a TT chassis, judging by the rear wheel. This is typical of what happens when reporters write about an unfamiliar subject.
The inevitable often happens.

A Model T I'd like to buy is worth way too much.
My Model T's are worth way too little.

Re: What is a Model T worth today?
Now Jerry that is really funny, it does depend on if your buying or selling

Re: What is a Model T worth today?
So much depends on which Model T? The condition of the T? Sentimental value?
Actually, a Model T is worth to the buyer, what he is willing to pay, and to the seller what he is willing to take for it. Usually a good looking and good running car will cost less than the parts and labor to restore one. However, for some hobbiests, the fun is in the restoration, and others driving, and still others showing.
So it all boils down to the first three questions. For a newbie, it would be a good idea to bring a seasoned hobbiest along to look at cars for sale to help decide on which one to buy and what is good and bad about each one.

Re: What is a Model T worth today?
What it’s worth and what you actually get for it are two different things.

Re: What is a Model T worth today?
The "click bait" comment above nails it. Editor walks in and throws out
an idea for the writer to produce 500 words on. The writer doesn't know
jack squat about the subject, but does some scratching around and puts
together the requested 500 words, just getting "kinda close" to the factual
details that years of study and actual experience would get you. And then
people read it and suck it up as definitive reading.
Nope. Just another semi lame attempt to fill pages with words to create
"content" for an editor, whose manager wants to sell advertising space.

Re: What is a Model T worth today?
What did it cost THF to create the Century Fords used in Greenfield Village? I thought that info would be easy to find, my search didn't produce anything useful. jb

European Market looks good https://www.classic-trader.com/uk/cars/ ... rd/model-t
10,000 GBP equal about $13,750

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: What is a Model T worth today?
Had a guy wanting to buy ours after a big Tow Show.
Told him “ You dont have enough money”
His response was “You don’t know what I’m worth !”
Again told him he still didn’t have enough money.
He got a little pissed.
Then his buddy said “Bill, it’s not for sale !”
Wish I’d got that on video.
