Richard, since you do not have a connection in this listing, is $2,600 +/- about what the value is on these?? I am not interested in purchasing it either and not wanting to bash the seller, but I am curious if that is about the going price on those.

Brent, not sure on the going rate, it is not something that I want either, my driveway is too short and not paved anyway. I found it while doing a search for " Model T" on cl. I figured there might be one of those independently wealthy people here that might want to add a 4th or 10th "car" to their collection.

Just curious, did those have a cut down real T front end? The front end looks like the real thing possibly cut down.

I know there are a lot of different models and new wheels are very hard to find or get.

I seem to remember a very similar car mounted on a motorized base similar to the coin-op pony rides that used to be located in grocery stores. One or two small kids could get in the car, and when a coin was deposited, the car would shake and emit sounds. I believe the car was mounted on a motorized pedestal, similar to the way the pony rides were built.

Yes, I have one.
There are no physical similarities to these motorized units.
What I have was from a coin op ride, removed And adapted to a circus carousel ride.
I intended to mount some small working lights & mount on my garage.

I remember riding one as a kid. It would slowly buck up & down, front to back.
