    Im with porkandbeaner. Id put a big ass coat on and a hat and cruise that thing all winter. Drinking hot beverages and or liqueur just to stay period correct. But if was gunna sell it I would definitely put it up for sale in the hamb classifieds and when it sold i would be very sad that i had to sell it. But im sure who ever i sold it too wouldnt sell it. I would make sure they called me first if it goes up for sale incase i wanted it back.

    If it comes my way, I'll tear that body off and stick a Morton on it, the old body will languish in my yard for decades

    This car needs only two things:

    1) a turtledeck; and
    2) to be in my garage!

    Clayton, where are you, buddy?

    Wow Marshall, great find!

    This was on craig's list not long ago (the T club boys were drooling over it). The Motor is impressive.....RAJO 4 valve (intake valves in the head OHV and exaust still in the block as stock). These heads were rather potent...more so then the 8-valve RAJO or the ROOF.

    The add said it was a '15. I believe that it is mostly 1915, but wears the wrong radiator which could always be changed out the correct later.

    What I would do now is get it running, driving and reliable.....then drive the heck out of it :D

    If it was mine....it would get the right brass radiator, a set of early Houk or Buffalo clincher style wire wheels (like these) and lower it a bit more.....and perhaps cut the windshield down a bit more ;)

    ...welcome to the club, nice to have a new friend to play with.

    How does one know if a car actually built back in the early days is right or wrong?

    Then cut the original body to fit around one of your dragster chassis with Olds power

    I like the boat-tail speedster idea, but I wouldn't ruin that neat t-roadster pickup to make one.

    See. You're a Model T guy already. Doubly so.

    PS: sorry I missed ya'll last night. The wife got stranded in her daily and I had to get her home and the alternator swapped out...
