Check it out, we got my Great-Uncle Clifford's Ford Model T to run! Runs pretty good too, for 90 years old.
We have a 1930 Model A snowmobile also, that is currently on display at the local antique club. The antique club claimed it for their own after my cousin passed away. We told them that we wanted it back, we have the title for it. They say that since it is in their possession our title means nothing. And they have no paperwork to show my cousin donated it, and it's not even mentioned in the meeting minutes. Which is because he did not donate it, just loaned it to them for display. The estate's lawyer is pursuing it now......Very cool. A piece of auto history right there.
I happened upon this site earlier in the year.

This one has only been asleep for around five years. So far we got several other cars to run that have been setting for 20-30 years. Including the 7 Litre Ford Galaxie!That's a fancy one, with white walls no less. I'm surprised the tires are still viable. Love the simplicity of the Model T design. It's a hoot that you got it running again. How long has it been asleep?
That is one of the many Galaxies on the left, but it's not the 7 Litre. That's a 1965.Is that the Galaxie on the left? Thought that was an Impala. Looks like the T pitched a bit going through the tunnel turn. Might want a 1/2 turn of wedge on the passenger side!

******wiping drool from corner of my lip*******These are the pics that the auction people took this morning of the 7 Litre (yes, that's what Ford called it, HA!).

There are two auctions (and I still can't believe they are going to get it all done in two days). First one is the farm machinery/household items/antiques Friday July 20th: http://www.gavinbros.com/PageManager/Default.aspx/PageID=2184787&NF=1When is the auction Quads??
Love to see the pictures...Thanks for sharing!
Honestly, I think the first auction (farm machinery/antiques etc.) will be much more interesting. Sure, old cars are popular, but everybody knows fairly well what old cars look like. But the first auction will have something for everybody! It's just incredible all the stuff that him and his mother hoarded over the years. Way too much to list. They will have two auction rings running for that stuff, and I'm still not convinced they will get it done in a day.I sure wish I were in Wisconsin, I would love to bid on some of the items in the first link.
