This 1916 Ford Model T is being sold for its owner on consignment (flat fee, not a percentage) by John Haigler at Haigler Motors, 13190 Hwy 155 South, Tyler, TX 75703. It has been in the same family for 17years, inherited by the current owner from his father about 12years ago. It was previously held in air conditioned storage for 30 years. It’s mostly original with the exception of: Ruckstell rearend (which gives it 4 forward speeds), electronic ignition system, oil dipstick, steering column brace, dash light, starter and radiator temp gauge. It hasn’t been started in 12 years, so it will need all the fluids flushed, belts and hoses examined for weather checking and a new set of tires (current tires are out of date).
The car was originally bought by John Muzzacco of Republic, Pennsylvania in September of 1916. Pricing was set at FOB Detroit for $590.00. It comes the original set of tools.
The car is being stored at the owner’s shop, so please call to set a time for a viewing
