Damn. Just doomed me to B. Time to retire it.
The Model T GT is a (cough) 1927 Model T according to its CA title

There are some old IOE winners. We won it in the Rover but there are some cars from the 50's that won the IOE.

Like my 1959 Humber Super Snipe. And my 1964, also. Both insanely slow, but they finished ahead of a lot of faster cars.
As far as IOE winners go, the oldest has been Bad Decisions's '48 Plymouth. Newest IOE was Spank's '09 "Toyohog" Toyota Prius.
For overall winners, I think the newest car is the '01 BMW Z3 "AMX" and the oldest, if you don't count the Model T GT, would be either the Keystone Cop's Volvo 242 or Bert One's Volvo 262C. Both are '79 I believe.

Does that make the Plymouth the best IoE winner? I know that was literally our most reliable car/van racing experience EVER. It had not one race day issue on either day unless you consider the lost gas cap. It just kept putting down hella slow lap after hella slow lap. Even Anton did not improve on our time when we put him in the car for 30 minutes.
Eric has all this info in his mighty Lemons all the information ever database he guards with his life and a team of trained guard bacon.
