With enough money, we can pimp your Ford Model T:
1) any color you like (not even just black!)
2) highway-safe by modern DOT standards
3) run on corn/rice/electricity/squeeze-cheese/etc
4) with dual DVD, PS3/Xbox360, GPS, etc
5) remote crank-start, either by embedding a monkey or via fancy electronic
