How many Model T Fords still exist?

Number of Model T Fords Still in Existence
Based on available information, it is difficult to provide an exact number of how many Model T Fords still exist. However, it is estimated that a significant number of Model T Fords have survived, albeit in various conditions. According to authoritative sources, it is suggested that only 1%-2% of a model year car will survive after 35 years. Applying this rule, it is estimated that up to 300,000 Model T Fords may have survived after 35 years, and now, approximately 80 years later, maybe only 200,000 are intact, complete, or in parts, located in various places such as barns, yards, garages, fields, and river beds. It is also estimated that there are probably less than 50,000 Model T Fords still on the road, i.e., licensed and registered, in the USA today.
The durability of the Model T was remarkable, and some of these vehicles and their parts are still in running order over a century later. It is noted that almost 170,000 Model T engines were built after car production stopped, as replacement engines were required to service the many existing vehicles. This speaks to the longevity and enduring nature of the Model T.
While it is challenging to provide an exact count, it is clear that a significant number of Model T Fords have survived, and they continue to be preserved, restored, and maintained by various clubs and enthusiasts around the world. The Model T Ford Club International, the Model T Ford Club of America, and other clubs in Australia are actively involved in the preservation and restoration of these iconic vehicles.
In summary, while the exact number of surviving Model T Fords is not known, it is evident that a substantial number have endured and are still being actively preserved and restored by enthusiasts and clubs globally.
