Big_mo 10 Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) What do you think? did I lose money or what? Is it a Scott or a Ford? I have the name of the builder and the build sheets forthcoming. Still a lot of unanswerd questions. Any advise?Follow this link to photo's pleasehttp://s1174.photobucket.com/albums/r605/Laurie_Mobley/ Edited February 27, 2012 by Big_mo (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Mellor NJ 265 Posted February 27, 2012 It looks to me like Model A front and rear axles moved closer together than normal and without a frame.Is the bidy just mounted directly on the springs? I don't understand the engine but it looks like a hand crank in the back. It looks dangerous if it's even operational. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keiser31 3,409 Posted February 27, 2012 The "Scott" is mostly Model A Ford.....I don't know what that (what looks to be a) one cylinder engine is from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Gillingham 75 Posted February 27, 2012 The engine in the 1911 Scott looks to be the engine from a 32 volt Delco Lighting plant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1937hd45 1,327 Posted February 27, 2012 We have no idea how much money is involved, so how can we tell if you overpaid for Model A Ford parts. The Model T Ford tail light looks ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig Gillingham 75 Posted February 27, 2012 Basically it's this engine, with the dynamo removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Restorer32 1,452 Posted February 27, 2012 The engine in the 1911 Scott looks to be the engine from a 32 volt Delco Lighting plant.I agree. I have a bit newer Delco light plant at home in the garage that looks very similar. Almost certainly this engine is from a light plant. The cast in fins on the flywheel are a giveaway. It seems to have been converted to water cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big_mo 10 Posted February 27, 2012 I paid 2 thousand 5 hundred dollars for the Scott/Ford. I am still working out the details for the Model T. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandy Dave 430 Posted February 27, 2012 Yup, Definetly a Delco light plant engine. 1920's -30's I've worked on, been around, and moved more than my share. In my Honest Opinion, there isn't a part on that back yard built vehicle that is 1911. The wheels look like 21 inch which would make them 28-29 Model A Ford. Don't have it Judged at a car show as an orignal brass era car, you will be picked apart. It may make a fun parade vehicle. Maybe you can get the local Mayor to ride with you on Memorial day. If you paid a great deal for it, I would say that you have been misslead as to what it really is. Dandy Dave! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Post some photos of the model T's before you buy to be sure you are getting a "real Model T".

Restorer32 1,452 Posted February 27, 2012 I'd be calling my attorney if the car was represented as real. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlLaFong 380 Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) $2500. I'll go out on a limb here and say that you over paid for the "Scott". The Model A parts might be worth a few dollars. Suspension and axles are still pretty abundant and don't bring a lot. The rest, who knows? You could fix it up and use it as a parade car, but, as is, it's yard artThe 26-27 Tudor looks pretty decent. I'd use the bogus "Scott" as a bit of leverage to try to get a better deal on the Ford Edited February 27, 2012 by 58Mustang (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
