We found this 1923 Ford Model T Touring tucked away like a time capsule — a true barn find that hadn’t been running in years.

In this video, we:
• Pulled the cylinder head and replaced some tired old valves
• Rebuilt the carburetor and refreshed the ignition system
• Got it to fire up and run for the first time in a long time
• Took it on its first drive — an unforgettable moment!
• Traveled to the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant and Highland Park facility to soak in some authentic Model T history where it all began.

This was more than just a wrench-turning project — it’s a journey through automotive history, breathing new life into one of the most iconic cars ever made.
