I have a soft spot for Model-T Speedsters. This one first appeared in early 2013 and these images can still be found around the internet today, mainly on Pinterest. The vehicle had a new differential, new woodwork, sheet metal and new paint, new leather upholstery, new front wheel spokes, new radiator, and a new air pump and bronze French pressure gauge for naphtha fuel tank. The engine had new bushings and front bearing but needed rings and assembly. It was missing the gearbox.

It could have been yours for 81,000 Argentine pesos, 5,400 American dollars, or 4,914 Euros in 2013 money.
