Looking for an old form that had how to get in the ballpark of the value of a ModeT. I thought Steve Jelf put it together. It had various levels from a show car to a pile of parts and several "add this" and "deduct this" values in the descriptions. Anyone have a copy?

I'd love to know how the prices have changed, 22 years on.

I think there are published auction results available. There seems to a a lot of interest in gold and real estate these days. That will pass, again, and people with money to spend, or deep credit, who are a numerous lot, will be looking for other things to purchase. (If the Mandamis among us can be kept in check) Will they choose pet rocks? Old cars? Tiny houses made up from shipping containers? Will their money stay in Vegas? Shares in race horses? Show goats? Holographic, whole-wall TVs? No telling! If Ts are indeed cheap, it's time to buy one or two, if you'd like to own one or more. The Ford Model T and Ford Model A remain the most economical and accessible way to enjoy owning and driving an antique car. Used cars of any vintage are almost never a money making proposition as a financial investment, and those who boast of making money on a car almost never have an accurate picture of what the car actually cost them. Buying even a high-end classic strictly as an investment is very risky. Selling new cars is a tough business, too.
