CharlesK Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Up For sale, is a chance to acquire a rare Canadian 1914 Ford Model T, this is confirmed by the serial number of C 16923. While being certified and plated in Ontario, Canada has all the appropriate badges as well. Currently, the car does not have fenders installed but will come with the car already painted. Provided are the famed Canadian fenders, the famed double bead.

Work done on the car to date has been done by well regarded members of the community, with Peter Fawcett doing running gear and body work and Sandy McTavish restored the motor. The car itself is in roadworthy condition, with completely restored lights, generator, carburetor and much more! This Car can be shipped anywhere in the world with ease and cost effecitivily!

CharlesK Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Please send me a email or call to make a offer, currently selling for a friend and will convey the offers. refrain from low balls as we all have google to check prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 But, Google won't tell you the value of THAT particular car in THAT particular condition. Your friend has a price in mind, everyone always does, he'd be so much better off just putting that price out there and going from that. All that said, you should post it on the Model T Ford Club of America (MTFCA) site, you CAN Google that! Be prepared to have the forum members tell you every part that's not correct (and it's rare for all the parts to be correct on an early T). Good luck with sale, am sure it will find a good home.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the driver in the picture is the one selling the car I can assure you he knows his T and for that matter most brass cars. Name a show in North America and one of the many cars he has restored has been in it. He finished an 07 Ford K last month.

I have a real problem with getting a point across and you are so right about Ts. Just saying the fellow knows his stuff sorry for the confusion. Was that a play on words when you used the word faucet by chance. His father was Ron Fawcett as some here will know him. Ron's last project was restoring 6 early Pierce's at the same time. Not all were finished when he passed. He collected parts for years before he started restoring them.

1912Staver Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 As far as I know apart from being different in a few details ; and comparatively small production , there is nothing particularly special about Canadian T's. And as far as I have seen over the years they don't attract much if any price premium over U.S. produced similar year cars. Yes the extra front door is at times handy, but not enough to boost prices. I have always seen the situation to be similar with other Canadian market vehicles, McLaughlin vs U.S. Buicks, Mercury Pickups vs Ford pickups, Maple Leaf 2 tons vs Chevrolet 2 tons etc. An interesting curiosity however no real influence on market value. Does anyone outside of Canada consider them superior to their U.S. counterparts ? McLaughlin's are a bit of an exception as they definitely had an improved trim specification compared to similar year U.S. made Buicks, however even that doesn't seem to effect prices much. A McLaughlin E6-45 seems to be worth generally as much as a Buick E6-45 or at least within 10% or less . Greg in Canada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Play on words, yes, I knew to whom you were referring.....one should never buy an expensive very early T without a T expert by one's side....true of many marques, of course, but essential in this case... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpkny Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 If your serious about selling , you need to price the car. otherwise your just fishing. I'M INTRESTED IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT. 914 474-1917 FRANK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The most visible thing about the early Canadian Model T's was the left front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J&J Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'd like to know more about the Canadian fender differences. Are there any other pictures? When did the unique fenders start - at the beginning of Canadian serial numbers in 1913? (were they really making their own fenders then?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I have a few fenders from this era. I will have a look if any have that style bead.. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Mine are just the ordinary ones. They came from a Canadian swap meet however there is no way to know if they came from a Canadian car. The odd U.S. car has made its way into Canada over the decades. Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLF Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 There's an original 14 Canadian touring in town with the double bead fenders as well as an original 12 Canadian touring with them. I have them on my 11 Canadian touring however mine are reproduction as I didn't have any fenders. Ken Surrey, BC Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hi Ken, do any of the original cars you know of not have them ? Is it a matter of some have them and some don't or did all the Canadian cars in a the late brass era have them ? Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLF Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I'm not sure Greg. there's not a lot of truly original early T's around.My 14 Canadian roadster doesn't have the second bead. I don't know the history of the car though. My best guess would be that Ford Canada probably used both. Maybe they came from different suppliers or perhaps production couldn't keep up with the demand and American fenders were brought in to keep the cars going out the door.

1912Staver Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Thanks Ken. I looked in McCalley's big black book however he does not mention them. Probably another of those things impossible to know with 100% certainty after all these years. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
