Default Good thing I'm not in Michigan

The temptation might be too much if this were closer...

http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/cto/2634949179.html

The ad's totally wrong... the car has a 1914 body, 1912 brass lights, and 1927 wire wheels. Who knows what else is wrong, but I'm certain it's no 1912.

I think I have seen this one. It might have been at the Packard Proving Grounds and the guys looking it over were tearing it apart. I just kept walking cause I hate when people do that.

The funny thing about it is that the "wrong" parts I can see on it are worth more than the "right" ones.

My parents have a 1914 Model T Touring (same as that one), which was bought new by my great-grandfather.

I'm casually looking for a touring car because it's hard to haul the kiddos in my roadster... That one looks to be a bargain at $7500. Good thing I'm not closer, I'd probably own it already.

Sorry guys, didn't mean to come off as picking the car apart... the car is what it is, an old car that's had some parts changed some time in the past 97 years. I had to wonder why the owner doesn't know what year his own car is though. If it were mine, I'd change the wheels, lights, and top to look more correct, but I'd modify the drivetrain with a balanced crank, high-compression head, 2-speed rear axle, accessory brakes, a starter, generator, electronic timer, etc.

My "1923" Model T has a '25 body, a '20 engine, and a '26 transmission... no being judgemental here.
