I know someone that has a "T" stashed in a container. I will find out more but all I know is her father left it to her (don't know when). She just wants to get rid of it as the container costs her money every month. She only knows that it is a two door convertible with wooden wheels. I have never fooled around with a Model T but I am retiring and for the right price it might be a cool project to get and get running.
I have asked her how long has it been in the container? Was it running when it was put away? The container is in the desert here in Calif. about an 1 1/2 hours form where I live.

If she can't supply more information anybody want to hazzard a guess as what a fair price to offer would be? I know lots of missing information but as soon as I get more info I'll post it. Should be tomorrow.

Thanks

$200 to $20,000. T's were made for 19 years (but not 1907-1908) and come in all body styles and conditions. Some are worth a little and some are worth a lot. Pictures showing what it is and what its condition is should get you a more specific answer.
 
Yeah, if you're going today you probably won't get this but since your both light on info/knowledge pictures would be best. Steve's wide range goes from junk to museum piece but again who knows what you'll find. Ask about a title and or paperwork. VERY helpful to have that. Best asvice? Take someone along that knows.
 
Finding out more info. The car is in a container, but it was moved there just recently. It was stored in a building with concrete floor. Her Dad bought it about 10 years ago. I am trying to get title info. This is a friend of a friend. She says it was running when put in the container, no dents. She says it is in excellent condition. (aren't they all?)

I can only go by what she tells me as I have not seen it. Here is the only picture she has of it.

I am not familiar with Model T's. I am just going by what she is telling me.

If anyone can ID it from this picture let me know. I'll post more if I get more info.

I tried uploading the picture, don't know if it did.

Regards,

Jack

Depending on mechanical condition, any accessories like a Ruckstell rear axle ? - $4500 - $9500.
 
You never know what you will find,just brought home a 1930 4 door that was parked in 1938. Only 1370 miles on the car. Pulled the clutch disc yesterday,still has the mfg. name on the disc pads!

Wick, that Model A. is unique & so glad you are preserving it. How many Model A's still have the original Delivery Sticker??
I recall many Model A guys were disbeliveing it was almost still 'new', but I would say it is the ultimate Time Warp Model A.
