Ford Model T Crosses a Century with the Same Family

The Ford Model T was launched by Ford in 1908 and sold over 15 million units until the end of production in 1927. Known as Tin Lizzy, it is widely considered the first affordable car in the world.

The 1924 example remained with the same family for 100 years. Bought new in 1924, it stayed under family ownership until 2024, when it was acquired by the seller who recently put it up for sale.

General Condition and Features of the 1924 Ford Model T

The 102-year-old vehicle retains only traces of its original black paint. It shows some corrosion and a small tear on the rear of the roof. Still, considering its age, it has remained in very good overall condition.

The Ford Model T features 23-inch wooden spoke wheels and Wards Riverside tires. There is also a spare tire mounted on the rear, protected by a cover with the Ford logo.

The interior has been reupholstered in gray wool with pinstripes. According to the listing information, the cabin appears to be in excellent condition, reflecting care taken over the years.

Mechanics, Performance, and Maintenance History

Under the hood, the Ford Model T is equipped with a 177 cubic inch inline four-cylinder engine, equivalent to 2.9 liters, with a factory-rated power of 20 horsepower.

The mechanical setup is paired with a two-speed planetary gear transmission. The engine has undergone maintenance, including coil replacement and repair of a cracked cylinder head.

According to the seller, the car runs well. He stated that one cannot fully understand the Model T until driving it, highlighting the unique experience provided by the vehicle.

The Ford Model T typically reached a top speed between 40 and 45 miles per hour. The odometer shows 32,000 miles, but it is broken, and the actual mileage remains unknown.

The sale included some spare parts intended for the next owner, expanding the set delivered with the historic automobile.

Auction Without Reserve and Value Above Annual Average

The Ford Model T was listed for sale on Bring a Trailer without reserve. The auction attracted 61 bids, and more than a thousand enthusiasts followed the process until its conclusion on February 8.

In the end, the car was sold for US$ 27,000 to the highest bidder. The amount exceeded the average recorded for similar models last year.

According to the website classic.com, seven 1924 Ford Model T cars were sold in the last year, with an average price of US$ 13,479. The cheapest example sold for US$ 7,000.

This was the most expensive among the seven, fetching US$ 27,000. The result positions the vehicle as a recent highlight among transactions of the model, reinforcing the historical relevance of the Ford Model T in the collectors’ market.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Secret chamber under Ukrainian castle remained hidden for 3 centuries until archaeologists removed 5,200 cubic feet of debris and found burned walls, underground ventilation, and signs of military use.

A futuristic steel and glass tiny house imported from China has become an Airbnb in the countryside, featuring a retractable roof for stargazing, a hybrid stove kitchen, and lights, curtains, and air conditioning controlled by a tablet.

Beach puts São Paulo city on the national tourism scene with a 350,000 m² complex, 15 million liters of water, a beach with waves, four beachfront resorts, an international standard winery, and one of the largest zip lines in the country.

The new NR-1 has arrived and promises to impact companies in Brazil: mental health, impossible goals, and harassment are now firmly in the sights of labor inspection.

Paraguay releases a US$ 150,000 visa and triggers an alert among Brazilian investors seeking permanent residency, less bureaucracy, and an escape from the high taxes charged in Brazil.
