What to do with this old '27 T?

Cleaning out the old family farm. Tucked in a building is 1927 Model T that had a restoration started 25 years ago then sat until now. I dont know what to do with it. I am intimidated by the scope of a project like this and I am backed up around 7 years with projects right now without taking anything else on. It is more than I can handle. So I am attaching pics. Is this a restoration project or parts car when I try to sell it?

Here is what I know. The body looks great to me. Has front glass and no other. Doors close solid. Fenders look good. Mechanicals are unknown. I would assume the engine was working but let say it is not. Looks like most everything is there except radiator and hood. Needs an interior. Wheels roll it around. Roof looks great.

Thoughts???

If you have room and it isn't in the way, keep it. Trying to find something like that in a few years might be really expensive.
 
Not a parts car for sure. E-Bay or the other sites classifieds. The car will definitely sell.
 
Can't tell from the pics, but looks like a good start for a long project. I have a similar '26/27 coupe project and they are fun to work on. Do you have the right wheels? Can't tell what the axels are. If you part out or sell I may be interested. Good luck. Anymore photos? Thanks
 
Thanks all for the replies. I would assume at some point I will sell it. Knowing that it can be restored and not just a parts car helps me with how to advertise it.


Like I said, this is more than I want to take on. I don't have the knowledge and I am backed up at least 7 years with my other projects in line.

I think I am tapped out at this point and space is a premium.
 
It looks like a lot of work, but people have started with less.
The problem will be finding someone that has an interest in a project like yours.


I suggest you drop over to the MTFCA forum and see what those guys think.
The software on their sight is a bit old and pictures have a limit of 200 mb , but you might find someone that is close to you and willing to help
