Posting deleted. Holy crap I just randomly met the seller yesterday. 
 

I was selling a stove from my house and the guy that bought it brought along a helper. We were talking about projects and garages briefly and he tells me he just sold a Model T. And that it was running. 
 

Unless there was more than one recent sale in CT of a running Model T...

If you are at all interested, you need to read Peter Egan's story of a Model A road trip. It's fantastic. It's in his At Large collection and of course it would have been published in R&T at some point.

 

Ahhhh ... one of the best stories, from my all time favorite storyteller !!! 

Could someone post a link? I'm having a hard time finding it.

Someone even wrote a book about driving a Model T across the country: https://www.quartoknows.com/books/9780760359464/Ford-Model-T-Coast-to-Coast.html

I don't think it's been published online, legit or otherwise and is now out of print.Perhaps check your local library? The whole book is worth a read.

Warning: if you read this book multiple times and then spend an afternoon hanging out in the sun with Peter, you will come across as a stalker because you Know Too Much about him.

Here's a pretty good little video about starting and driving a Model T.

Agreed. And once was enough to scratch that itch.
