Default Re: City owned Model T

Well saw the T today. Sad shape for a T. No top, missing cowl so someone just added a dash to the firewall and no front doors, no windshield, alot of past bondo work. Paint good, the head leaks, modern electric water pump, electric fan, Bent front axle from a tow in the past. Ran when they parked it 5-6 years ago. Engine not stuck. Seats in great shape.

Even with all that still would make a good parade car for the weather in Florida.
I figure a couple hundred bucks and I can get it running well enough for city events. I will make a report to the city to see if they have any discretionary funds to use on the project. If not, I may try hitting the autoparts stores in town for the money in exchange for a magnet on the car when used.
