“Model T vehicles produced later had the more common three-pedal, three-lever control system...”. Must be talking about a different car. No T, produced after 1909, ever had three, or even two levers. That statement voids the entire article, for it is obvious the author knows nothing about Model T’s. Jim Patrick

My T has 3 pedals and 3 levers. 2 of the levers are the spark and throttle levers along with the parking brake lever.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

He said T’s that “Model T vehicles that were produced ‘later’ with the more common three-pedal, three-lever control system...”. If he was including the spark and throttle controls in his description, except for a few very early rare exceptions, all Model T’s produced from 1909 through 1927 had the three pedal three lever control system. Not just the “later” T’s. Jim Patrick

Probably from auction results. Where did this come from ?

Jim, I'd guess happy fingers and no proof reading. It does diminish any authority the writer may own.

I’d have to say that just about every very good looking and very good running ‘16-‘27 T may be WORTH around $12k-$14k. Some may SELL for more and some may SELL for less. Who knows where their info came from...

How much money are they "worth"? Well, clearly this is a typical modern news media bit of "fluff" article. So the article and its misinformation is worth "el ZIPPO"!.
However, the "value" of a model T? As the ultimate icon of the emergence of modern man?
PRICELESS!!!
