motors

[ron hebb]

hi could someone tell me what is a fair price for a rebuildable model t engine.
they are a large # of them with tons of parts.

Depends where they are, in FL a complete T engine (less manifolds/carb/starter/gen) will go for about $300 for mid 20's versions, double that for 'teens engines.

You can more then double the $ amount for teens motors. 20's up value sounds about right.

I've never been able to get more than $200. for one from the '20's the 1912 was another story.

There's one on e-bay right now. Claims to be a totally rebuilt 1911 eng/trans. Starting price: $5000.00. Buy it now price: $11,500. # 190450225130. Think it'll go?

Im not sure if it will go but, if there is a man out there with a nice 1911 model t in need of a correct motor with deep pockets it might. Does anyone know what a early exposed push rod engine has sold for or going rate for one ?

Was several years ago, saw an open valve T block, bare, no internals, for $7500

This one piece pan was also for sale with it !
