This isn't my ad and it isn't my car, and since I live in a single-room urban apartment (unfortunately) it isn't going to be my car. (Not a member of a local T club & have no place to work on it. Yay college?) But at $1200 it might make a nice project and the coupes are really cute.
It still hurts to see a good Improved Ford sitting out in this condition but at the same time it's exciting to see the raw potential of a real project. Hopefully someone swoops down on it before it ends up a rat rod.
Definitely needs a new splash apron on the running board--I'm sure that everything that could go wrong has--but there's no way this T has sat out for 100 years; it looks like it was a nicer car that got put outdoors a few decades ago & went to the bad.
Should be fun all fixed. Good luck.

(Oh and here are the pics for the folks who don't do Facebook--which is totally understandable.)

Re: Coupe in NH
Someone will buy it, but all I see is heartbreak and $$$$.
Been there, done that.
The cheapest T you'll ever own, is the most expensive one you can afford to purchase initially...

Some of the spokes need to be tightened up…

Re: Coupe in NH
Somehow it has escaped the glass breakers and copper thieves. A lot of it is straight and rust free. It looks like it could be an original build. It looks like it has suffered mostly from exposure, rather than long, hard use. I'd like to see if the block shows freeze cracks. The engine still has plugs in it, so it may not be hopelessly siezed, and the gas tank looks to be covered. There may be a lot there, especially if the serious visible rust is from leaves piled on the running board rather than the curse of road salt. The lower body doesn't look too bad, and the doors still have their lower edges. Doesn't look like the chassis has been sunk in the dirt. Odd that it appears to still have a top on it.
