Vehicle Detail
The good stuff:An original car - top is very useable as is but needing 2 seams re sewn on rear panel, good top bows, top is not original but probably replaced long ago.Wood is very solid, doors close and latch like they should.Ruckstel 2 speed rear axle.No serious rust, absolutely no replacement of sheet metal required anywhere.Runs very nice and starts easily with the starter. (has a new battery installed)Paint is original, is checked and cracked but attached well and covers 99% of the sheet metal.Radiator shows no sign of damage or leakage.Seats could be original but more than likely were recovered sometime long ago.Comes with original gas-oil-water running board cans and rack.Gas tank was found dry and clean, I filled it with fresh gas and found no fuel leaks in the tank or lines.Steering appears tight and properly adjusted.Windshield is good, not cracked, loose or broken.It is said to be an original, local car that has never been wrecked or restored, the first Model T sold in the county and has never left.I took the T in trade on a Model A sale and the seller had owned the car since 1996. It has current and clear California title. It had not been run since approx. 2009 but started right up with fresh gas and battery. The bad stuff:The tubes hold air but tires and tubes should be replaced due to age.One or more original spoke wheels have loose spokes that will require tightening but are repairable and in otherwise good condition.
