Saw this 19xx, virtually

Post by varmint » Fri Feb 05, 2021 7:47 am

1917 Ford Model T
I have no connection with this car but noticed that no one has bid on it at $3200, with only three days remaining.
If it were mine I could post it in the advertising section for free.
There are plenty of parts?

Now that you have seen it, it's time for the piranhas to pick it apart.

Well it's not a '17 body....I didn't see the "infamous bolt", so could be an original, real '15 body. '17 engine. Lots of work there!

The serial number dates the engine to Thursday, March 22, 1917, but the car is a mid-teens parts salad made up of pieces from various years.
The inevitable often happens.

There are at least that much worth of parts there. It will be interesting to see what the bids are.

When did I do that?

Back body portion of tourning is 1921 three panel back. Front seat back panel does not have the top metal lip for tack strip used prior to 1921. Body is a 1921-23 with earlier parts like round gas tank. Any body want to make a cut off tourning pickup truck, this could be the car for you. Keep some parts and sell some parts off of it.
