Desirable model with rumble seat. Going from the photo's, looks complete but needs a total resto. A pure DIY candidate and needs a hands-on owner. Forget buying and sending it out as a most basic minimum resto from a shop is $20k. Going from looks, the car is $4,000 to $4,500. Model T and A collectors as a whole are considered cheap... just the facts from experience. 90% of the resto's are fun driver / tour cars. Done right for the points, draw strong but you'll pay for the job to get it there. I wouldn't cut that car up either. Too bad many have been for rods.

The Lee Hartung collection auction could have brought much but for just 3 days, it wasn't feesible to jam it all in. Steals for sure. The sale management should have spread it out, itemized piece by piece online over 6 months and they would have made ten times the amount. By the way, T and A parts are cheap to start with but you have to look carefully at them. Also, the china knockoff parts are marginal, so there's much to consider. Good luck
