I am curious if you landed the car Walt. I would be surprised if you got any closer to your requirements than this. A weekend with some sandpaper, primer and some black paint and you have exactly what you have been asking for.

Sometimes when you find something you really want, you also find that you never really wanted it.

Actually, the site does show the car has been sold.

http://www.northwestclassicautomall.com ... &pid=13276

You have to go to the classified ads, classic cars for sale, and then scroll down to the 1918 Model T Coupe, which does indeed say SOLD

The above link should take you directly to the ad for the car

The site says the car has found a new home in Montana, and Walt's profile lists his location as Atlanta, Georgia, so it sounds like someone besides Walt got the car. Bummer! :)

I kind of suspect that in our attempts to publicly inform Walt on this forum, we have inadvertantly also tipped off others, who may have bought a car "out from under his nose", as they say. If we want to help him, maybe send a PM or email directly to him. Yes, I know something advertised in the AACA magazine is not exactly a secret, but before reading this, I for one, would not have known about it.

Good luck to you Walt.

Here's the car, a real-deal no excuses car that is being offered at 2/3 or less of the money it would take to restore it. As I said before, either you want it or you don't.

All the best.
