Trulyvintage Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 This 1925 Model T was bought new back in 1925 ... Driven for 21 years - then put in a shed After 70 years it saw the light of day again six months ago With a liitle work - the engine fired up & is running smoothly I picked it up Saturday in Dalton, GA It is going to a new home in Conroe, TX where the new custodian will make it safe to drive & do nothing more I posted a short video on: Instagram @ http://instagram.com/directenclosedautohauler/# Twitter @ https://twitter.com/directautohaul Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005456325407 Jim Proud Member Of MTFCA - MTFCI - HCCA - AACA - Space Coast T's Top 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Novak Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Wow...Great History and the patina is actually a big part of the story. If it were me I wouldn't paint it. Make it mechanically sound so it runs, is drive able (needs tires) and kept in the condition it appears to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Wow. Agree that that is a great find. Also agree that it should be left as original as possible. A true survivor. Dandy Dave! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Wahlberg Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Great story and thanks for posting. I'd love to see this T in HPOF at a National Meet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Rims and tires should be the only things added, along with new fluids. The World sure doesn't need another restored Model T. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Nice car but I certainly wouldn't call it "original". All that rust wasn't there when it left the factory. "Unrestored", "untouched" , "deteriorated" but certainly not "original". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'd call it a neat old car! Indeed-a survivor and I'm sure it'll attract a load of attention wherever it goes. I'll never forget seeing a 1902 Apperson displayed out in Iowa a few years ago. The old tires were falling off but it drew more attention than a freshly restored Dussie! Great to see them like this.

Trulyvintage Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 This car was dropped off to John in Conroe, Texas ...... John is only going to do minimal work to make it safe to drive - nothing more. There are more images & videos of the drop off you can see by clicking on the links above.
