Hello,

My father passed away and left us with a Model T Ford that his father brought down from Detroit to Florida back in the 50s. We are now tasked with selling it. We do not have a title, and it is in need of restoration. We are under the impression that everything is original, down to the wheels. Looking for a buyer who wants to restore it.

1927 - Model T, 2 door sedan for sale, stored for many years in a storage unit. Minimal rust, all complete with some dents on the fenders. Needs full restoration but could be used as is. Currently not running but engine turns over freely. Standard running gear with no other accessories, needs a top and has demountable wheels.

$2500 OBO - Car located in Central Florida

A Canadian built T

Interesting! how can you tell that?

It says made in Canada on the engine . Les

Does it say Made in Canada on the radiator shell?
Maybe just has a Canadian engine?

One might also look to see if Robertson screws were used elsewhere in the car.

Dan, Good eye, it does say "Made in Canada" on the front radiator shell below the Ford script.

Hard to say if it is a real Canadian. The proof is if it has a serial number on the frame with a C in the front.

If the wheels are original there will be a pair of holes on both sides of the rims at the split another Canadian difference.

My eyes see "Made in U.S.A." Really hard to tell, however.

Went and checked - car says “made in the USA” on the front and the serial number starts with an L

Where did you find the number?
Picture?

I found the number on the engine

L ? Engine serial #

It's a "1"
a late '27

just let the lady sell her car
