Found this on the PreWarCar site, it's up for auction at "Hershey at home"
It is a lot of things, but i don't think it's 1917 for starters, fire away...

The ad says it has a six-cylinder engine and a four-cylinder engine. Does that mean ten?

Much of it could be 1917. The items I noticed were earlier front fenders and the steel firewall. It could be a fun vehicle.

Could be a fun truck for somebody. I can't quite get past the yellow paint and the "dingleballs" though. The steering column looks extra long from the firewall to the steering wheel. Is there an extra long column or is this just an illusion of the bright yellow paint?

6 cylinder engine is prob a typo. don't think a six would fit.

It sure could be a fun car for someone, it's just that all the other cars in the auction are rather 'high end' this seemed to me the 'ugly duckling' among them, wonder what it will bring at the end of the auction ?
There is another T in the same auction with different bodywork, wonder what the story is behind that one :

Why do sellers think it is necessary to give background on Ford and/or the Model T. I have seen some just cut and paste from Wikipedia.
Tell about the car you are selling. The entire history of the Model T is mostly irreverent to the vehicle being sold.
