The Ford Barn - View Single Post - My "new" '27 Model T Sedan... what to do?

I think that any old Ford that's in decent condition and is a relatively complete car should be RESTORED. There are enough random parts out there, including reproductions, that someone could make any kind of hotrod they want. But the nice complete cars are getting too hard to find.

I like hotrods and I really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into most of them, but solid original Model T's are just not a good candidate in my opinion.

Lastly, If you'll just restore and flip it, maybe someone else would love to restore it. Most unrestored T's are so rough that it would be a really nice one for someone to do who enjoys the restoration process. And I'm guessing that your estimate of $13,000 to $14,000 might be a bit high for that car, unless you restore it very authentically.

But it's your car and I wish you well whatever you choose. Thanks for asking.
