I did (a very little) research into a Model T some time ago. Apparently the gas they were designed for was crap, and they'll run on damn near anything. There was even a version that could run on Ethanol for farmers who were "producing" it for, ummm, well why else would a farmer be making ethanol?
One comment made regarding the T was "every part is still available". Now I'm sure if you get into some of the more exotic cars from back then you'll have issues, but I get the sense that with the common cars like the Ts and As (I'm a big fan of both) are a lot like old VWs - the parts are out there. Some are getting harder to find, but they're there.
