    That's not model T.
    That's a model A.
    Big difference.
    I was worried why you wrecked a model T with a flathead V8.
    Where a Model A you could get in a V8
    A model A was a huge improvement.
    To include a DRIVERS SIDE DOOR.
    And a lot better brakes and power.

      @@evilironclassics2719 then why does it have Model A wheels and axle?
      Why does it have a driver side door?
      Why is the gas tank in the boot and not under the seat?
      Why is the body of a Model A and not Model T?
      I can keep going if you want.
      Looks to me like you have a model A, registered as a Model T.
      You might want to look into it more.
      I'm sure when the registration was switch was a long time ago. Though that electric fan makes me wonder.
      Anyhow. Be wise to play like it was done in the 1950s rather then the 90s.
      You know I'm right about it being a Model A. All it takes is looking at a Model T and a Model A.
      The axle and wheels are a dead give away.
      Now. There is another possibility.
      That is that it's a BUCKET T. Which was not an official model.
      A Bucket T is a coupe hotrod.
      I'm going to use the word teen and teenager loosely.
      Bucket Ts were often made by teens in the 50s and 60s.
      Often the would get a old coupe. Mostly model A and Model T. Often times with no paperwork. And build them up
      Pretty much equivalent to a chopper.
      Questionable past. Sometimes from a wrecking yard. Or sometimes stolen from someone backyard or barn. Or just a kid asking a old man to haul off his junk car.
      Unless someone pressed the issue. Not much was done. And DMVs were not very difficult to get a title. Often times a written bill of sale from your buddy would do.
      Just depends on the state it was registered in. I mean 20 years ago. You could still get a title in Louisiana with just a bill of sale.

      @@IvanhoeWolfe-zn6fc Normally, I would avoid such “low-hanging fruit”, but there is so much ignorance in this reply that I have to weigh in. I’m not an expert, so some of what I say may be not be correct in all instances. If you feel different, please show your references.
      The Model T, built from 1907 to 1927, constantly evolved, both mechanically and stylistically. As it approached the end of its production, it became more and more like what would become the Model A, which only makes sense.
      “Why does it have a drivers side door”
      ANSWER - Model T Roadsters were equipped with a drivers door for the 1925 model year onward.
      “Why is the fuel tank in the boot and not under the seat” -
      ANSWER - Because the lowered seat position of a hot rod does not allow the under seat tank of a Model T. Aka. “Because Fucking Hot Rod”. In addition, the Model A used a cowl-mounted fuel tank, which did not allow the use of the flip-up cowl vent like was used by the Model T. Although I’m not certain that all Model Ts used the under seat fuel tank. I believe some used a rear mount fuel tank in some models.
      No, there was no “registration switch”
      ANSWER - It is plainly a 1926-27 Model T Roadster. The differences between a Model T and A roadster are innumerable, but a few differences are the short length of the T cowl, the angle of the cowl, the width of the cowl, the presence of a cowl vent, and the windshield stanchions that are bolted to the side of the cowl.
      “The axles and wheels are a dead giveaway” part 1.
      ANSWER - The front axle appears to be a round-tube, aftermarket item, although Ford did use a round-tube axle on the 1937 V8-60 cars, making it extremely rate. I’m not knowledgeable enough to rule that out, but neither the Model T or A used one. “BFHR”
      “The axles and wheels are a dead giveaway” part 2
      ANSWER - 1929-29 Model As used 21” wheels. 1930-31 Model As used 19” wheels. This car has 1933-34 Ford 17” wheels. Why, once again “BFHR” Same reason for the 8” Ford rear end with coil-overs
      “That is that it's a BUCKET T” (sic).
      ANSWER - The 1926-27 Model T, also referred to as the “new T” was offered as a Chassis, Coupe, Depot Hack, Pickup, Runabout, Sedan, Sport Roadster, Tourer, Truck, Truck Body-Closed Cab, Truck Body-Open Cab, Truck Chassis, and Tudor. The Sport Roadster had the rear deck and opening deck lid, sometimes referred to as a “turtle back”.
      Wikipedia defines a “Bucket T” as a hotrod based on a 1915 to 1927 Ford Model T. That’s a pretty loose definition, for sure.
      “Where a Model A you could get in a V8”
      ANSWER - Neither the Model T or the Model A was available with anything other than a Flathead four-cylinder, although they were both very different for each other. The Flathead Ford V-8 was offered (in passenger cars, in the US) from 1932 to 1953. The upper right position of the distributor identifies this one as a 1949-53 V8. Once again “BFHR”
      I could go on and on, but the ignorance in this reply is overwhelming.

      Ever seen the peanuts?
      When the adults are talking.
      Yeah that's what happens when you start lieing and making stuff up.
      The Model A was the first Ford with a V8.
      Hence why Clyde Baranger likes Ford and wrote his letter to Henry Ford.
      I can go on. But you clear know nothing.
      Learn the history of Ford.

      Nice hear from you IHoe. I’ wasn’t going to spend any more time on trying to make you look less ignorant, but I will pick out one item. The Bonnie and Clyde death car was 1934 Ford Model 40 B Fordor Deluxe V-8, not a Model A.
      Don’t just believe what I say. Open up Google and type, or have someone help you, “did the Model T or A Ford have a V-8?”
