Re: My "new" '27 Model T Sedan... what to do?
Lots of info on the Internet. I've never even ridden in a Model T, but I think I could after watching all the instructions on the web. I missed a chance to buy a centre door, but I guess I'll stick to my Pick-up.

Re: My "new" '27 Model T Sedan... what to do?
Well everyone, you'll probably be happy to hear that I've found someone with a trade that suits my desires. My '27 will not be cut up, it's going to get new life. In trade I'm getting another '27 that someone has started but not finished.
I'm glad that I decided to search around for a different car before I went at mine with a sawzall. This way I'm happy, the new owner is happy, and a piece of history is going to remain intact. P.S. Does this mean I'll be shunned from this group if I don't have an original T? Are hot rodders still welcome?

How much of your new one will be Model T?

Re: My "new" '27 Model T Sedan... what to do?
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I had to get in touch with the original owners daughter in order to obtain a title for my 27 T. Turns out that wasn't the only oldie that her father had. She still has two of them left, and they are more or less show cars. She would like to sell them. One is a 1923 Model T... um... buggy? The other is a 1930 Model A Sedan. Both are in amazing shape, and ready to run. Her and her sister had them appraised and they are looking for $12K for the T and $18K for the Model A. I posted this up on some of my Facebook Forums, but I told her I'd put it out there wherever I could. If this is the right place to post them, let me know. If not, let me know where I should post them. I have pictures of both.

Re: My "new" '27 Model T Sedan... what to do?
It's got air bags in the rear, and I'm going to redesign the front chassis for some ground clearance. I don't want it that low, but it's a better starting point than an original T.

Re: My "new" '27 Model T Sedan... what to do?
If it's a rod you're after a T, which is basically a wagon with a motor in, it might not make you happy. Their slow and quirky and the quirky bit seems to have attracted your attention. It's unlike any car you've messed with before. A class by itself for sure. As some have suggested perhaps turning it for a profit is a better idea. You found the truth early which is their not high dollar cars. You'll drop a lot more in a full resto than it's worth for sure. Personally a bit of cleaning and a quick flip sounds more up you're alley. It'll sell.

As far as owning a T hot rod goes, this isn't my first, it's just my first sedan. I've owned a 23 T bucket that someone actually made from an original (I had no part in it, I just got it after the fact). It was a fun car, 327 with a 'glide, but I want something with a roof, something with a little more room, and something faster. This '27 sedan will give me my desired outcome.

Re: My "new" '27 Model T Sedan... what to do?
This was my first finished T many years ago. Had no idea how to drive it or maintain it but I joined a local club and learned a lot very quickly. Sadly it does not look like this anymore. Oh well, each to his own.

Re: My "new" '27 Model T Sedan... what to do?
Look on YouTube for videos on 'how to drive a Model T"
There are several videos that go through what all the pedals and levers are for. |
