Can someone tell me what year this car is?
Finally got another T model, I’m sure it’s a hodge podge of parts but curious what year this looks like to you? Block is a 1919 and I don’t believe that’s the case on the body. Thanks

High radiator, high cowl, and slanted windshield indicates late 1923 for the 1924 production through 1925.

1923. No radiator apron (although that may be because of the aftermarket radiator shell) and no brows on the front fenders and a slanted windshield.

Door hinges appear the same length. If so, That would be a 25 body. Fenders are earlier 19-23.
High shell on a low radiator. Mix of both early & late motor mount or an aftermarket spring stabilizer plate added.
Yea its a heinze.

High Radiator, Low Radiator, It's both!
A low radiator is tucked inside a high shell
Run it the way it is and if anything needs fixing make it more correct if you want.
Looks like a great car to enjoy and not have to worry about.
The perfect example of how interchangeable Model T parts are.
I have worked on, driven (but not owned) a more mixed up Model T than that one.

Thanks all, door hinges are the same length so I would assume the body is a 1925?

Re: Can someone tell me what year this car is?
Body looks good. A 25 is a fine T. 1 man top well secured to the W/S stands.
Get the correct high radiator & you'll have a very presentable T.
The incorrect earlier fenders & lower radiator apron isn't a hugely noticeable defect to all but us experts.
I see many T's with incorrect fenders, even a few with a mix of an early & a late.
Looks like a fine purchase.

Thank you all, it’s been sitting and has some rust but I’m excited to be back into the model T game again. Will go nicely with my 30 sedan.

Just to confirm it is a high or low cowl car?

Re: Can someone tell me what year this car is?
The dogleg at the back end of the hood shelf indicates that it is a high cowl body. There is no dogleg on a low cowl car.
