Whats it worth 1922 Ford model T touring 3 door all original runs and drives ?

So I bought a 55 citron avant yesterday.I posted some pictures of it on facebook,and a friend of mine told me that he knows that a neighbour of his has an all original 22 model t that he wants to sell.I followed up on the info and a half hour later I was looking at the car.Its a california car with 2 owners,hasnt really left the garage in the last 25 years,just occasionally to auto shows and what not.

It started up after a couple of tries,btw we didnt have to crank it,this was the first year with electric starter.
The car ran and drove fine,a couple of front bushings need some attention but thats it.Paint is original,thats what ive been told and it looks like to.Has no rust or any other problem with the wood components.It has new battery,new convertible top and a new muffler,the old muffler tip was re-used.
Upholstery is original and free of rips or wear.Gas lights? are operational.
The owner added a horn and a cooling fan.
As a few of you know I buy "enjoy it a bit" and sell cars,call it a flipper..
However I never had a 90 year old car,and dont really know what they worth.
So any suggestion on pricing it would be great.
Here are some pictures,cell phone pics.Will have better one once I detail it and stage it.

Like I said any input is welcome,thank you.

Btw car came with another model t frame and a rear and,which i'll sell separetly
to the hot rod guys.

I am serious. If you don't buy it, I will. I am looking for a 1921-1926 Touring T.

Early brass T's are the desirables but most others are common affordable drivers. If this 22 touring is sorted out mechanically correct (most are not , its a $9 - 10k car. You have some neat options that help and most would lean towards the Touring body. Was the rear-end a 2 speed?

One thing for sure it never pays to restore a T. Buy someone elses restoration. Also, purist Ford guys are a cult group. They can spot the wrong bolt in an axle a mile away or wrong year fender, etc. and deduct.

As it sits, where it sits, 6-8k.

Red-beard, check out forums.aaca.org or even the HAMB and you will find a touring T in no time at all.

Thanks! I need one like a hole in the head, but it doesn't change the fact that I want one.

And a bright yellow Boxster...

Anyone "have to have" a Model A (alleged Jack Daniels (r)) pick-up delivery truck? Just asking as we need to sell one....

Anyway, looks to have some after market parts on it. Definately several repairs.

Are the seats still stuffed with horse hair? I've seen some with alleged original interiors and I've seen some with re-done interiors and they all look the same to my untrained eyes. The steering wheel looks original. The wear on it would, in my weak mind, would indicate the driver's location should show signs of wear as well.

2-speed rear end would be neat!

They are interesting to drive! Guy across the street from me (lives about a mile away) has several Ts. One he drives on the snow and says it handles just fine. I LOVE they guy! He has some of the neatest stuff!!! I believe he is about a year older than his Model A.

Survivor car.......

If it is indeed all original paint and interior, etc, then it will bring more as a nice "survivor car". A local antique car dealer has one for sale for $10k that is not as nice as this one. If it were my car, I would ask about $15k and negotiate. Call Jay Leno, he likes original survivor cars!

If you want to wait up to a year for the "right" buyer, maybe $10K
For a fast sale, then $5-6K

The buyers for these cars are drying up (or dying off), fast

Good info. No dog in this fight, but they seem like neat cars to putter around in. 5-6k? Hmm, I might need to look around.

I have a neighbor couple doors down who's into Model Ts. I'm probably only 10 minutes away from you in the Valley, if you're interested in bringing it over to show him.
