This Model T is a 93-year-old car that has been sitting in a barn, and it is possible that it has been sitting there since 1974. It exhibits all the wear and tear that you would probably expect from a car of this age, so it will need a complete restoration. There is some rust to deal with, but the vast majority of it could be tackled by someone who is fairly competent with a welder. If that sounds like you, then the old Ford is located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and is listed for sale here on eBay.

I think that this is a sweet little car, and for those of you who are old enough, it kind of reminds me of the car that Granny used to drive in the “Tweety and Sylvester” cartoons. There is rust visible in a few areas of the lower body, including the lower section of the front cowl, the rear panel below the trunk, and the trunk floor itself. The owner doesn’t mention the state of the frame, so given the fact that the visible rust appears to be in the lower extremities of the body, the frame should definitely be checked. It also looks like the canvas top and timbers have also given up the ghost, so there is some work to do there.

The original engine still resides under the hood. It does turn freely, but the head is cracked. The good news is that there is a good head included with the car, so hopefully, it won’t take too much work to get the old girl puttering along again. Looking at the engine bay, it does look to be complete, although, after sitting for so long, there is sure to be some work to do before you could hit the road again.

The interior is another area that will require a complete restoration. It is complete, but all of the upholstery will require replacement, as will the padding on the seat. The wheel looks like it has survived really well, and the dash hasn’t been modified and is complete.

As project cars go, a lot will depend on the state of the frame. If that is solid, then this could be a fairly straightforward project car. As is so often the case though, it is really going to come down to financial viability. With nice examples selling for between $12,000 and $15,000, it has now reached a point where for a project like this to be financially viable, the owner needs to have the time and skills to perform the majority of the work themselves. That is unless they are a person who undertakes a restoration purely for the fun and satisfaction involved, which I have done myself. The owner has set an opening bid of $4,550 for the Model T, but once that first bid has been made, then the reserve will be off, and the car will be sold to the highest bidder.
