We saved one from the crusher!
!924 Touring car that was restored years and years ago, then the barn caught on fire and it was abandoned. Years later it moved twice and had been outside for a LONG time

I like this! I hope to see that on the road!
I gota get back to work on my junk!

Interesting video.
I am amazed of what a Model T can go through and will still run without a complete tear down.
Thanks for sharing the video.

The sad part is that body will be warped big time.

Mostly, but hopefully someone can use something or repurpose some of it for something!
Thanks for watching

Way too much for me.

If I wasn't project poor and that thing came up < I would be on it like a duck on a june bug.
That's WAY more Model T than I have ever had to start with for a project.

T: I don’t need or want that much of a project. There’s just too many T’s out there for me to spend years on one. Many do and good luck to them but I’m out.

It was worth the watch and so was the rescue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntj22jFv6so

Well I guess I am the odd ball in the bunch, I like Model T's, I am a tite wad, and I love a good challenge.

Two of the best cars I ever owned cost me $15.00 and $20.00 respectively. One, a 1947 Pontiac Torpedo, was sitting on blocks in an old fellow's back yard, and the other, a 1950 Ford business coupe, was sitting in Buddy Swan's junkyard.

Pic of the pontiac? I have a 47 Streamliner

It's long gone now. It was a '47 torpedo in two tone gray, 6 cylinder, with radio and heater. Those are excellent, durable cars. The radio sounded like a juke box, and the underseat heater with a separate coil for the defrost worked very well.
