As i always do i turn to AACA to help me gather info on certain bits and pieces that i am looking to acquire.

I will have a chance to pick up a few frames from 1915-26. How much would it be worth and is there any interest in these items?

Suspension (leaf's) - any interest in them? what would be a good price to purchase them at?

engines - blocks and a few full engines (covers and everything) what is a good price for them and is there any interest out there for them?

transmissions - i dont know where to begin on this interms of price or interest for these?

Old lantern lights ?

front end's who arn't seized? is there value there?

wish bones for days

and full tire set's wooden and steel?


I will have pictures in a few days of all above items, i just wanted to ask here to get ready for what i'll be encountering!

thanks for any info you guys have ]]> Ford Model T (and older) CharlesK http://forums.aaca.org/f139/barn-find-need-info-engines-lights-351171.html FOR SALE: 1914 Model T barn find http://forums.aaca.org/f139/sale-1914-model-t-barn-find-350830.html Fri, 10 May 2013 16:12:05 GMT So we pulled this Model T out of a barn where it had been sitting since before I was born (that's 43 years for those of you following along at home). We had David Heinrichs of Heinrichs Vintage Car Shop get it up and running, and run it does! I spent a long afternoon going over it, since the owner says it's a 1913, the inspection sticker from sometime in the '60s says 1912, but all my research says that it is one of the very first 1914 Ts built. It has its original engine, which was built in October of 1913, but the black paint under the ancient green repaint, the rounded doors, the one-piece fenders, and other details strongly suggest 1914 features. So I'm calling it a 1914, and one of the very first off the line after the model year change.

Aside from the paint, it is 100% original and all indications are that it has very low mileage. There's no rust or rot, and while the paint isn't pretty, it has an ancient patina that may not justify a restoration, I don't know. It is quite solid, the doors fit nicely, and it feels rugged, not fragile. The brass fittings are all there save for the cowl lamps, which were lost years ago. You'll note that one of the headlights is a different color, which is due to the fact that the owner had it displayed on a shelf in his office while the rest of the car was in storage. Again, it all has a nice period look to it, so polishing may not be the right choice, but I'm not sure how to make them match. It also includes a horn and kerosene-fired taillight. The original acetylene tank is still on the running board.

The interior strongly suggests that this car has very few miles. The leather upholstery is certainly presentable, even at 99 years old. Details that suggest low mileage include sharp "teeth" on the spark and throttle levers, almost no wear on the pedals, and sharp corners on the wooden sills in the rear seat area. It also includes the original top, original door panels, and leather straps holding it all together. The rubber mats are probably not original.

After a full service, the engine starts and runs well. I've gotten quite good at starting the T, and I can see the appeal of these rugged little cars. It has been retrofitted with a water pump system, which was a popular modification, but otherwise remains stock. We went through the ignition system, cleaned the fuel system, and flushed all the fluids, and it runs quite well. The transmission shifts properly and it goes about its business the way a T should. The original radiator has a slight seeping leak down low where it has been rubbing on a support brace, but it's easy to keep it topped off and it doesn't overheat. The tires are probably 50 or 60 years old, with Firestone Non-Skids up front and when was the last time you saw a set of those?

A neat survivor that's complete and intact and fully functional. Restore or preserve, we'll leave that for the next owner, but if you're looking for a brass Model T, this one has a lot going for it. Asking $26,900 and we're always open to reasonable offers. Thanks for looking!
