'27 frame, motor, loose parts*SOLD*

I'm going to be shifting some things around in the shop, so if i can re-home this soon...
Otherwise, everything gets buried until i'm bored.
No title. I wanted to build a "pig 'n ford" type racer.
Super nice frame. Clean, painted, lovely. (I drilled out the rivets, and removed the running board supports, but they are here.)
Numbers are present.
'27 motor/trans. Stuck, but i haven't investigated. I pulled the head, and there's no obvious bore damage. I'm totally new to T's, so maybe you know where to look.
Also includes rad, steering column, small-drum rear axle with wood spoke hubs, front axle, early spindles, front wishbone, firewall from unknown year (nice), a couple wooden wheels, rear spring, oval tank, and a steering wheel.
Possibly something else that i've forgotten...
I can't tell you how badly i'd like to see this together, but it is taking up a bunch of space.
Near Pittsburgh PA, $500 for everything.

Can you send pics of the wheels ? Do you have any split rims ?

It is a low radiator and shell. Looks good. Need to check the outlet though.

Everything i have is included. I found an intake and carb thursday.
The rad looks promising, although i haven't had it tested.
I'll check the lower outlet when i'm in the shop tomorrow.

Chris, the lower outlet is cast iron. They are more robust, and may be available as reproductions. On our Canadian cars, the top outlet is pressed steel and they rust out easily. In the absence of reproductions I have had these made in cast brass too. Your radiator looks like a good candidate to work on. They rarely come with a core looking that good.

Found some other things. A hand klaxon horn that works sometimes, and this radiator that may not be for a T.
Please let me know.

What would you want for just the frame? I'm in Northern NJ. Thanks!

Thanks for the question, but the goal is to make space. I'm really only interested in selling everything together.

It looks like the rear axle is from a Model A. At least the one in the pictures.

It is.
I have a model A project that i need to focus on. Another reason to re-home the T parts.
You have good eyes, i had to go back and look to see what was there...

Hi, if you’d be willing to sell just the front wishbone, I’d be interested in buying it.

Thanks for your interest.
I'll have to look, there may be (2) front wishbones. If there's a spare, i'll send you a note.

Your price is a bit unreasonable, too low. If I had a trailer, or was closer) I'd drive the 600 miles to buy the lot (just for the pictures of the parts) for $800 - $1000. The front axle & related parts looks great, tapered leaf rear spring, Winfield intake manifold, rear axle is incorrect , etc.. I'd negotiate a deal with the NJ member for the frame.

I have been exceptionally lucky with this stuff. $500 leaves me a little upside down, but not a ton.
My thinking was to pass it along, and make some space.
