I've been messing around with Model T's off and on for over 50 years. I never got asked these questions till the other day, maybe somebody knows the answer. What does a stock 1926 coupe weigh? And with a standard rearend, what is the engine RPM at normal crusing speed 25-35 MPH. Thanks

I believe standard rear gearing works out to 5 mph per 200 rpm.
10 mph at 400 rpm, 30 mph at 1,200 rpm and so on.

I’d say 1900 lbs

According to the MTFCA encyclopedia, a 1926 coupe had a shipping weight of 1860 lbs, with starter and 21” wheels. Good guess, George.
