Any antique car or restoration people here?

My dad restores many model T's, I would say that one in that codition isn't worth too much more than 1000 - 1500, but the cost to do a complete frame off restoration would probably be close to 15000, as long as several parts aren't needed. Birdhaven supply in Iowa has almost any part available for a model T.

The one you're looking at needs a lot of restoration. In other words, a lot of time and money. For a guy who's into Ts and maybe has a spare engine and lots of parts laying around, it might be a fun project. Otherwise, good luck!

I personally don't restore cars but have a '67 mustang and go to a ton of shows and watch a ton of the auctions.
I would agree that the Model T's aren't going for as much as people think they should be being such a ground breaking car that it was.
A good paint job is minimal $10K if you have someone do it.
This is one of those cars that it looks like you might get the motor working and leave it like it is. A good barn find if it came from a barn.
