I’ll be putting my ‘11 up for sale in a couple of months, probably late March or early April; I’m just posting now as a heads up. It’s a great car, more accurate and complete than most, and a strong runner. I need some time to get it out for more pictures, that’s the main reason for the delay. Feel free to email if your interested. I’m not looking to make a killing or to give it away, and I’m willing to work on what to include that’s not on the car. I’ve got the carbide generator, extra original rear fenders, and many items of interest that I’ll part with once I sell the car. Right now I’ve got a strong running rebuilt later early engine in it with a starter, SCAT, domed pistons and an OF rebuilt by Stan Howe, and the ‘11 engine completely rebuilt on a stand with the correct head, valve covers, pan, and a 5 ball rebuilt by Stan Howe. It’s not a disappointment.

Hi, my name is Eddie Bell. I am a newbie member of the model T Club and I am looking for a pre 15 Model T. My friend Mark Wing alerted me to your post. I live in Albuquerque but I am willing to fly out to see the car. I am willing to pay a fair price for you and me. I am traveling today but perhaps we can talk soon. My number is 5054404997

Hope someday all us "inquring minds" learn the asking price of it. ;) :shock: :lol:

This is sold. I'll leave it up to the buyer if he wants to share details; there were lots of variables that came into play on what to include, but it was in the $30's.

I'll list some of the parts I still have, like a carbide generator, 1911 Jacobson Brandow coil box with 5 coils rebuilt by RV Anderson, pair of original rear fenders, and another gallon of paint with catalyst, reducer, and sealer, when time permits.

Greetings. I am the one. I am the lucky new caretaker of Gary’s 1911 Touring Car. Gary is a great guy to work with. His craftsmanship is grand and what impresses me most is his attention to detail in ensuring that modifications made can be reversed back to original and nothing original has been ruined. Kudos, Gary!

And yes - it will definitely be used!

Here is the condition that my 1911 Touring started in before spending a year in Larry Smith's back yard.
