If he does still have it for sale, he's a patient man....that post was 8 years ago.....

I did not see the date. Thank you. Why those old post are not removed is beyond me. Looks like they would at least put a limit to the time they can run.

Dick77,

Part of the reason to keep old posts is that many of us use the post and resulting thread for technical information. It never ceases to amaze, just how much technical expertise is shared on our many threads here. Information may be added to any of these, and the day that you have a seemingly insurmountable problem, or just want to know how something is done, or how somebody solved a similar concern, or maybe just some specifications --- you get the idea...

This FORUM is a treasure trove of experience and advice, as well as a "clearing house" for many clubs and their members and guests to enjoy.

It is easy to not notice a date in a post when we get excited about the content -- no big deal, and trimacar was offering advice - nothing more, and certainly sharing his humorous way of being informative.

....and since that post, early (1914 and prior) T prices have gone up, then slightly down again. So that car was probably at market then.....but maybe light in today's market....

The secret to early T purchases is how correct the components are, and the T guys can spot a wrong year part instantly....and I say that with admiration... Documentation on T's must be unsurpassed in the annals of antique car collecting...

[Guest Dick77]

Thanks for the information. I will look closer at the posts after today.

The asking price is probably still a valid price.

I wonder if he ever sold it....... :confused:

[Larry Schramm]

Send him a private message. He posted just 2 weeks ago.

Not sure how this got brought up again. It is from 2005 and sold back then.

Not sure how this got brought up again. It is from 2005 and sold back then.

It would be a good practice for those posting items for sale to post that the item is now SOLD.

[Guest Dick77]

I sure do agree with that Bob.

[cahartley]

Not only that but it's a good indicator as to what the market is.

[trimacar]

I think a really good, correct in detail, 1914 T, is worth a little more than that in today's market. Maybe only a couple or a few thousand dollars, but more.

It all hinges on the correctness, and as I've mentioned before, the T guys are excellent at dating parts and pieces.

I've been following T's a lot lately, and the correct early stuff brings a premium. The correct 1909-10 stuff is for deep pockets only, at least deep pockets for T guys, and again, no offense meant, it's just that there are so many later T's out there that the group of collectors seem to wait for a bargain, as well they should.

I was recently involved (as in today) of pushing a 1914 T out of long term storage, sold for more than that, very correct but not running.

After 100 years a lot of things change on these cars, since everything is bolt on, so finding a correct car is very difficult.

I helped sell a '12 T for a friend. All the important stuff was correct.

So original and correct the new owner said he is going to document everything.

It brought $17,000 and they go downhill from that real fast.
