    A local Model T and Model A enthusiast just pulled this out of a barn here in NJ, complete with mice and all. I will get more detailed photos this week. This may be someone's next Hot Rod project.

    This is the real deal. Despite all the negative media attention, there are still plenty of undeveloped, rural parts of NJ.

    Nice find, a closed GOW JOB would be the way to go IMO. Bob

    Man I would hate cutting that up, allmost a 100 yrs old. If it was a basket case I say hot rod it, but it looks too nice to do that. I hope it gets restored.

    Nice find! I'd love to find an early T coupe like that. That would be cool if the sheetmetal was all left stock. Drop a V8-60 in it, dropped "A" axle, juice brakes, K-H wires.

    This is what the woodwork looks like after the tin is removed. Bob

  9. That's the way to go... Although with a closed hood I'd be very tempted to go 2 litre Zetec instead.

    Yes it is the same guys who bought your Grandfather's tractor. Wes Sr. is still using it to cut his lawn.

    Turns out the engine was swapped out at some point with a very late production '27 with a double "E" crank, balanced rods and tin pistons. It should be running before the end of the day today.

    I wondered if that was a Wes and Wes purchase. Good for them. It's in good hands.
    Great looking car.

    That body style done like a T-bucket would be really cool. Nice find. Too many have been cut up.

    I had a restored T touring. Always wanted a coupe like this one or a center door to build a mild rod. But this is too nice to cut. Especially with the later T engine.

    This car looks far too nice to cut, the early Coupes with the suicide doors look so much better than later ones IMO. Add Buffalo wire wheels and a RAJO overhead and call it done. Bob

    Great find! There must still be a lot of vintage tin hidden in barns throughout the US and Canada. We have got to get out there and find it!

    I stopped over to R&R restorations yesterday and took this photo of these two four bangers.
