I am listing for a friend who has a magnificent 1911 Model T that was restored by the late Fred Lau of Portland, Oregon.
Some of Fred’s cars were featured in Bruce McCalley’s books From Here to Obscurity, and Model T The Car That Changed the World. It has a show quality restoration and was driven only 11 miles following its completion. It is an all stock car, with all original and correct hard-to-find
1911 parts. It has the correct differential, drive line, all-original brass lights, horn, headlamps - not reproductions. Fred was obsessed with fine
details. The upholstery- diamond tufted leather and top are exquisite. The fit and finish is exceptional. Mechanically it is perfect, like a brand new all-stock, 1911 Model T.

His asking price is $45,000, but I believe he would entertain an offer in the $40-45 range.

The car is currently located in a small community just east of Portland, Oregon. I am happy to forward contact information to folks with serious inquiries.

Few more pics...

This car has been listed in the HCCA site for quite a while too.

Fred Lau was a top notch restorer, and a real class act. This is a fine car.

I have personally transported at least
five 1911 Model T vehicles ranging
from a project in pieces to restored
examples - this is the finest example
I have seen - judging by the images
posted - something is going to be
a proud Caretaker.

Thank You to The Two Special K’s ….

nice T, but why red? correct deep blue looks much better.

I'd prefer dark blue, but the car looks fine in red, and it looks like a good buy at the price. If I lived on pavement, I'd strongly consider it.

Darel, one day I asked Fred why he painted it red? He replied, "At the time I always wanted a red Model T." He had restored this car before he got #220 from Kim.

I used this car as my guidance when I was doing the upholstery and top for my 1911.

Pat, I agree that the car looks fine in red and it is a stellar buy at the price. You would not be able to restore a car for that kind of money. Maybe it is time for some asphalt?

Bump to the top.

Early Black Friday and just in time for Christmas!

Now $40,000

This car is still available, however its storage location is now Port Orchard, Washington.

Make sure you are on Santa's Good List!
