    Model T ford. Looks like a later one I think. Gas filler was under the vent

    Looks like a '26/'27 Coupe, sedan, or '26-'29 TT / 'A' truck cowl. Super usable if you're willing to trim, reshape top dash rail and fit or roll some sides. I've started good, sound projects with less. Great buy!
    The vent cover sells for more than that...

    It is Model T but a lot earlier than the 26 27 models. It is pre 1923 would be my guess.
     

  5. You bought something without knowing what it is? Must have been love at first sight.

    It is Model T, and before 1926. It is closed car like a coupe or sedan. Hopefully someone can nail down the year a bit more for you.

    Without a measurement from the floor to the middle of the cowl, it's hard to pinpoint the year. I can tell you categorically that it is "T" coupe and sedan, and with the height of the firewall cutout I'll guess it's '23-'25. If it's not tall enough for that, it's '17-'22 for the same.
     
  11. Yep you done good. I would of bought it because it was 25 dollars if I needed it or not.

    Are all of his prices screaming deals?!
     
  14. Yes, these guys are right. It's a '23-'25 Model T closed car (Coupe or Sedan) cowl. Earlier ones didn't have the vent.
