I have owned 1910 T number 24146 since Sept, 1946. It is a good carand mostly complete or the 1910parts needed go with it. If I do selll it, it has to go to a local person who will take good care of it. When an local person looks at it, I them will quote a price, but only to someone who will keep it. If I do not find the right person, I will keep it for a few more years. I will; not ship it.
I do not have to sell it.

I have received several replies. I am still taking offers of interest. Those who have replied, I will send more information if you want.

Hello Darel, Mike Peternell here. I'll send you a PM. My wife and I came down to see your store a few years ago. Andy Loso and I were good friends. Talk soon!

call me at my store. go online and map for 239 Water St, Excelsior Mn and click on LEIPOLDS. the phone number will appear .

I'll give you a call tomorrow!

Darel, I’m so sorry to hear you’re parting with the old girl! Nearly eighty years in your possession: no marriage will ever last that long so again, I’m sorry you need to part. Forgive me if I’m prying into your personal life, but isn’t there anybody in your immediate family who would want to carry on with the family heirloom?

Available. will take offers from nearest persons.

want this nice T to go to a good home.

Incredible that you have owned and cared for this car for so long. I am truly impressed. Survivor vehicles are my absolute favorite because of the history they hold. Anyone with enough money can restore a Model T with loads of body filler and globs of paint. I love cars that have stood the test of time and still command respect. Thank you for being the caretaker, I hope the next owner perpetuates what you have done.

When I bought this 1910 at the age of 14, there were higher offers, but i was sold to me for I said I would keep it and never sell it. Here 79 years later, I am selling it. Am I breaking my word?

Perhaps I should let it set, and when I pass on, my wife would offer it to the first 14 year old with $125 who states he would never sell it.

I'm seventeen, and I have $125 and would never sell it

Never insult your elders young man, very rude! It is called.., "A figure of speech" and you need to know the difference.

If you really want to sell the car, then sell it. If you don't want to sell the car, then keep it. It doesn't matter how long the next caretaker will keep the car.

My sincerest apologies for not realizing it was a figure of speech, I am so sorry to anyone I have offended or mislead because of my post, and I will refrain from any posts or comments that could be considered offensive in any way in the future. I hope you all can forgive me.

I assumed that your comment was made in the same tongue-in-cheek way that Darel's comment was made. I saw no offense in it. Just my take on it.

Hop off your high horse, you’re running off a younger generation. The kid wasn’t rude and was making a joke as well, and you know it. Guys like you are why no younger guys are getting into the hobby. I’m a younger guy in my 30s and you were very rude to me years ago, when I asked you for a price on repairs. (“You don’t quote repairs, if cost is an issue you suggest me look elsewhere”). There’s plenty of the older generation out there more than willing to help young guys, but there’s plenty such as yourself that seem to be the opposite.

You are absolutely right.

Lack of manners and respect expected something cheap.., woe is me is not what any hobby needs. Get your butts and get involved by assisting and thou shall learn. Quit whining!

The man is 93 years old, a child of the Great Depression, tough love with hard knocks made him like my father. You have to learn that if it is a joke before saying things that bring out people like me. I defend and protect is still my military career oath until death!

Well first off, I’ve had plenty of help and taught myself getting my hands dirty, no woe is me mentality here. I don’t expect cheap but I do expect a rough estimate before I spend my hard earned living, I bet you don’t pay for much without knowing the cost first. Moral of the story is, I see you whining on here more than anyone, calling others out, gloating etc. and when you were rude to the kid someone needed to say something. My grandfather is a WW2 vet, a child of the Great Depression etc and he sure as heck doesn’t treat young folks the way you did. Just because you’re an elder and experienced doesn’t give you the right to jump down the throats of others that were joking just like the original poster was. Respect is a two way street regardless of age. No wonder the hobby is dieing.

Saw a wolf today....

do you mean WOLFE? Is it one that has been known?

I have an offer, here in Minneota,I am considering. I do hope that the person who does end up with it keeps it for a long time. That means much to me. When you get to my age and need to part with something that means a lot to you, you will understand.

Hello, I sent you a message. Look forward to hearing back. I appreciate your time.

Hi Darel, I sent you a couple of messages, but am not sure if they went through. Very interested in your 1910, and am not terribly far from you. Thanks for your time.

Still looking for a close by buyer. Will not ship my T.

I'm about 5 hours from you, that's just a hop, skip and a jump in the grand scheme (for us Yoopers anyways )
I wouldn't dream of shipping. Deal in person, face to face, cash and handshakes.

i will give that some thought. I do have a thought about how to keep it here. more later.

When my heirs sell my cars I ask they sell to someone who is an experienced T person. Last thing I want is my pride and joy going to someone to learn on or worse. I saw a nicely restored car sell to someone who had little knowledge or incentive to do all the stuff needed to keep these cars in good running condition with the expected result.

I have a Model T Person, here in Minnesota, considering buying my 1910. It would be nice if he does. I could go see it a time or two.

Hi Darel, did you ever find a buyer for your 1910?
Thanks, Aaron

I may have. I am meeting with a possible buyer tomorrow. He seems to be a good prospoect and one who would do right by my car.

the local person decided to seek out alater T with a starter.

So my nice 1910 is avaiable at $22,000.

I can’t help but wonder what this “$22,000.00” 1910 Ford Touring Car looks like and what condition it’s in.

It's a well-known car on this forum. You don't have to wonder either, just ask for pictures if you're interested.
