model T stuff

[tombia]

Been reading some of my T books and realized that in the 50 years I have been fooling with T stuff I have seen very few parts, such as Himco transmissions, overhead heads, whatever ETC. come up for sale. Over the years seen lots of waterpumps and ruxell rearsand even once bought a TWIN X rear for a model A. What happened to it all???

Over heads come up all the time, check ebay and Model T Ford Club of America classifieds. Himco transmissions not see one of those.

I believe there will be a lot of stuff for sale in the years to come. The scarce stuff will continue to have high prices but as we get older the stuff we've scarfed up will have to go. The few bright young kids out there who have caught the bug will have a lot of opportunities to pick stuff up cheap if they are patient.

That stuff is coming up more and more at regional estate auctions and parts can be had for 10 cents on the dollar but not the cars, I was at three last summer and scored big on the parts but the cars went for way more than they were worth, I'm sure the new owners were unhappy to find out there million dollar "barn find" is really only worth $2500.
