1923 Touring

Post by Unprr » Sun Oct 17, 2021 11:06 pm

A family friend has passed away and I have offered, to help sell, two Model T’s and one Model A.
The one in question now, is the 1923 Touring. This car has sit in garage storage, for at least six months.
With a simple priming of the carb, the car started and the engine ran smoothly and quite.
This is a very clean car, with NO rust and very straight body panels. The paint has very few scratches
As the photos show, it’s as clean underneath, as it is on top.

The wife indicated, it has a clean title and she is trying to find more information from the previous owner, on what/ when things were rebuilt, etc.

I need help in with setting a selling price. I know this is an objective point but I need to educate myself, so as to benefit the widow, financially.

Nice clean car George. It does have a 4 dip pan and accommodation or the wide transmission brake drum. That's not a bad thing in a driver car, but may devalue it somewhat to a purist. Does it have the later hogshead with the wide brake and clutch pedals and the eras on top to bolt it to the block? It may have a later engine and trans.

Very nice looking and clean car, from just those picture $10k. If the engine and top are as nice as the rest $11-12k. Probably worth more, but have not seen late model T's get the kind of money they should. Priced for sale and priced for insurance value are two different things. To me that car is worth $20K and I would be proud to own it, to restore one to that condition would cost over that, but sadly, it will not bring half of that at a sale these days.

I paid 11 for my 1920 and this one is in better shape then mine, so you can use that as a starting point. The 1923 is worth more than my 1920. Also depends on how well she runs and if you know if the rear axle has been updated.
