Hello Fellow Model T-ers,
I already own a speedster so I do not need this 1913 Speedster that I have taken possession of. Assuming that everything is in working order, what would be a fair sales price for it? The gentleman who I got it from earlier this year prepared the following description.
Thank you in advance for any advice you may offer.
1913 Model T Speedster
New Radiator – Brassworks
Rajo C” head resurfaced with new rocker arms, Chevrolet valves pushrods, etc.
Engine rebuilt, bored and sleaved with new aluminum pistons, rods with dippers, oilslingers on flywheel
with lines to front main, stipe #280 cam shaft, including model B carburetor.
Transmission rebuilt with watts clutch assembly & 4th main bearing ball cap.
Ruckstall axle with KC Warford transmission and overdrive
Rocky mountain brakes, seats and oval gas tank – new.
Steering with new 5 to 1 gears
Double wishbone
20 Buffalo wire wheels – refurbished
12 volt electronic ignition with rebuilt starter and generator, new water and fuel pumps.
This is a fun car to drive & keeps up with traffic

Re: Ford Speedster Value?
It is an interesting street rod. A mixture of original and reproduction parts, decked out to resemble one built up of 1913 parts. Probably a good $20,000 in parts and $15,000 labor to create a vehicle such as this one. The national market for such a vehicle varies from year to year, season to season. A fun car to drive, but when showing, one must explain that it is a creation and not an original 1913 auto or Model T Ford. What it might bring is a guess. In my opinion, it would bring $20,000 to $25,000 at a well attended auction.

Re: Ford Speedster Value?
Funny thing how a speedster is rarely worth the sum of its parts. Consider just the value of the cylinder head, wheels, Ruxtell, and radiator... You get the rest of the car for free
