I would recommend finding someone in your area knowlegable on model T's to go and look it over with you. You could maybe find a member of MTFCI on their forum who lives nearby. The price may not be too far off depending on condition, completness and correctness of the car. Model T parts and mechanics are readily available and really not expensive , especially compared to everything else these days. One very dire warning though; Model T's are very addictive to you and your whole family. You may also find yourself hanging out with a bunch of other kooky Model T addicts also. Hope it all works out OK for you. (just another addict trying to get you hooked) Regards Cam
