Great that someone decided to make a replica ! I cannot believe it. Is there a specific reason they did this ?

Found this photo. Dan is it one of the Wanderwell cars?

m2m

Wow, amazing car.

Anyone guess where this photo was taken? The front tyres are the main clue.
The brand of front tyres is the clue.

France is my guess.

Tree-lined Road… trees cut in typical French manner

Michelin tyres?

No, not Michelin.

Constantine, Quite interesting, to say the least. I’ve found Model K shipped to and/or in Europe, including Germany, Spain, Belgium, France, Italy and England. I have not yet seen anything about Russian or far eastern Russia/Mongolia. According to Wikipedia, he had a German background, as well as i...

Miles, the cars are shipped as three cars in a container. They put the three cars in a container somewhere near your location, seal the container and truck it to a port. The container lands in Rotterdam and then trucked to Budapest. The container is opened for the first time in front of the three o...

That’s really neat. It would be interesting to know what happened to the T’s that were used in government service. I’ll bet it didn’t come back to the US. But was this the embassy in the US or France.

US Consulate in St. Petersburg Russian Empire

The first looks like a 1906, or the 114 in wheelbase. However, it has the later 07/08 style radiator, so I may be wrong. The information I have about the first photo is : 1907. Nikolai Robert Maximilian Freiherr von Ungern-Sternberg (AKA Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg) Governorate of Estonia, Rus...

Still available.

Still available. I've had some interest but distance from potential buyers seems to be the problem as it's not something that can be shipped easily. There's a chance I might be able to get it to Chickasha Pre-War Swap Meet.

m2m

Still available. Please note that the transmission is now in storage in Kansas (I moved it from Arkansas).

Dodge Brothers front axles are a different issue. While they are famous for them, the Dodge Brothers were not the only company manufacturing front axles for early model T Fords. By mid 1912, DB was slipping into second place for Ford front axles, and Transue was merging with Williams to take over t...

I've put up for sale a fully rebuilt Moore auxiliary transmission on the Classifieds Parts page; not a 1913 item but fairly rare.

Archives comes up with saying "No Records", for the time frame I've been searching.

Maybe records from that era haven't been digitised (you may need to physically go to where the records are kept...Canberra?), or who knows maybe these records no longer don't exist?

m2m

Is that a stock Ford spool and Hyatte roller bearing? Do you have the rest of the shift lever? Thanks Brian Santa Cruz CA As Allan mentioned, this version of the Moore didn't have a special shifter (unlike the one in the link at the top). A pipe or rod (cut to your desired length) with a knob on th...

Exactly Constantine, just like the BS on 5000 in storage in Australia!

Where would the relevant car import records be assuming they still exist? Perhaps the National Archives of Australia?

m2m

I can email more photos to anyone interested.

Here's some photos

To answer your initial question: Two years ago I sold 1913 specific NOS Victor #1 cowl lamps along with a nice Victor #1 tail lamp for $750.

Thanks, very fair price for NOS Victor lamps !

m2m

Constatine, records might still exist but to find is another story, I have some government department figures compiled by who knows who in 2003 which are just laughable :lol: As for the story of Russian T;s, 31 May 1915 a story is published that Henry Ford announced that he had an order from Russia...

Next time you in the neighborhood, Moline Illinois, send me a email and visit Craig Beek's Museum . Has 17 of 25 left in the Building 3 of the 17 are promised.

Wow, what a collection of T brass cars!

Interesting discussion. Do Australian Customs import records for vehicles and chassis exist from this period? Off topic but maybe relevant. Ford Times magazines of pre-WW1 had a number of articles suggesting Ford cars were selling like hot cakes in Imperial Russia. Before he passed away, I met a Pro...

For Info on Moore transmissions see the link below (but note that the shifter on mine is of a different design): http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/118802/139700.html Moore was possibly the 3rd most popular aux. trans after Ruckstell and Warford. Advantage over Ruckstell is that the Moore has a ne...

Thanks everyone very much for your replies. I have not been following T part prices for quite a while and wanted to get some idea of where things stand.

Ten years ago I remember that I wanted a correct two piece driveshaft for my 13 but I didn't want to spend $500+ people were asking for them.

m2m

Hi Peter !

I just saw this thread, thanks. I will have a read then reply.

Hi Guys,

What sort of price can one expect to pay for 1913 parts such as restored JNO headlights and kerosene light sets, DB front axle and spindles, alloy hogs head?

Thanks.

Constantine Don't have any body built or even plans. One of the reasons I lost interest was that body is so unique. Also, no doors! I'm at the age where jumping over the sides of a body isn't happening! Too challenging to make it like the original, and lack of interest if I could get in and drive i...

m2m

Constantine You can hope the Russians don’t use your T for military transports! Perhaps it will remain safe. As for the Wanderwell replica, well, never completed it, sort of lost interest on what I would use it for, sold off the Disteel wheels and chassis parts. But another early chassis am current...

What became of the Model T that you drove on this long trip? It really should be in the Henry Ford Museum.! The Melbourne to Moscow T is still in Russia !!! It might not be leaving there for a while now since Russia has hit back at Western sanctions by sanctioning assets owned by foreigners in Russ...

m2m

So good to hear from you again! What you did was incredible, and inspirational for so many model T people. I very much enjoyed reading of your journey from before it happened, until after completion, as it happened. A lot of people held their own breath as you traversed potentially dangerous areas,...

: This photo sums up the trip. Very tough at times but also a hell of a lot of fun. The photo was taken at a police check point north of Khartoum in Sudan while waiting for a plains clothes State Security official to check my paperwork. There was a war in the south of the country with South Sudan at the time over an oil rich border town.

Hi Guys. Here I am. I pop-in to this forum occasionally and search the term "RIP". Sad to read Stan Howe, Charlie Shaver, Bill Dubats (best T crank ever made) and Larry Brumfield are no longer with us. This year marks ten years since the completion of the Melbourne to Moscow trip. Many of the countr...

I have a TT with a Twin-High Hi Lo type and would like to know more about it, like are parts available for it? and those with any experience with one is it noisey and do they shift easily?

I’ve got the TT version going in my truck . Just painted it two nights ago. I’d also like to find another for parts just to have lying around.
