I know this is the A forum, but I am trying to determine the value of a 1922 TT fire engine that I am interested in purchasing and I know there are a lot of T guys on here as well and the T forum is not real active. The truck is in fair shape it runs ok and is not rusted. It is however missing a lot of it's era correct fire equipment. Any help is appreciated.
 
Sorry will try to get some when I look at it tonight, but I am hoping to make an offer on it as well. So I am looking for some insight on a starting point.
 
Without pictures a guess is impossible. The period correct accessories are priceless and will likely be near impossible to find or replace. The accessories are a very important part of the deal and decrease the value significantly if they are missing,

Have you tried MTFCA.COM? I am not sure what you find there as I am not a "T" guy. Another factor is do you want it or are you going to flip it? I imagine it would be a slow mover if you wanted to flip it.

Yes I have this posted on MTFCA as well. Just trying to get as much info as I can on value. The seller will not name their price, they are looking for offers and I do not know where to start. I plan on restoring and keeping the truck for a long time. Any other comments welcome.
 
A friend bought a 23 fire truck last fall. It is complete with sirens,firehoses, nozzels etc.everything looks real good and clean. The only thing found wrong so far is that in the aux. tran. at the rear axle is that the key was missing from the drive shaft and that is being fixed with new keyway and new key. It runs good.$3500.00.
 
I never deal with people that won't name a price. You can't be buyer and seller at the same time. If you are that anxious you should low ball him and let him counter offer ! As Charlie said the demand is low so that reduces the price considerably.

That's kind of how I feel when I have to state the first price. In 1969 I asked about buying a 1950 Studebaker Commander in El Paso, TX. The guy said the engine had a miss on 2 cylinders and asked what I would pay. I thought I would really make a low ball offer of $50. He was so excited that I offered that much for a 19 year old car, that I really made his day.:D
 
Well here it is for all to see, needs work as you can see but it is very solid and I can still see the original graphics under the blue paint. The history of it goes...It was used until the 40's when it was decommissioned it was purchased by the American Legion and used in parades until now. I possibly paid too much, but I fell in love with her.



 
Don't matter what you paid, you wanted it, had the resources to buy it, and you own it. Enjoy, it's got tons of potential.

Brent, Love the pictures! Yeah I imagine it will fit in that same category LOL! I just drove it around the yard a little not on the road yet, but it will be trailered to events most of the time.

Tom, Those early Ford V8 wheels are welded to the original TT drums. I plan on finding original rear wheels and possibly drums as well. Anyone know what the tire size was on the rear TT wheels? Also are all TT rear wheels the same?
