Which is the better car to own?

A Model T that starts, motor runs and it drives, but which is better:

1. All original - if one can be found.

2. Well maintained with some upgrades.

3. A full restoration back to original factory specs.

4. A bits-a, one built from this and that and fleamarket finds.

Asking for a friend...

What do you want to do with the car?

Another question is how much do you want to spend.
Besides that what are you expecting to do with a Model T.

He doesn't want to do anything to the car

He only asks these sorts of questions in an effort to gin up conflict/disagreement

usually it's about tuning coils by ear or the superior nature of "buzz boxes" - granted this is a new topic historically speaking, but designed to foment emotion nonetheless

search his posts

stating this for a friend...

Eliminate the flea market build. Not a good idea.

The one you want at a price you like is best.

This one

Given four choices, the question should be which one is best? Better is for a selection of one from two.

Since your asking for a friend......

How much of your time are you willing to spend on his purchase for free? later on? Will he be satisfied with a 2 or 4 or will he change mind & need help for either to be a 3.

1. All original - if one can be found.
2. Well maintained with some upgrades.
3. A full restoration back to original factory specs.
4. A bits-a, one built from this and that and fleamarket finds.

I couldn't decide so I have one of each.
