On this topic I highly recommend the book "Libyan Sands: Travel in a Dead World" by Ralph Bagnold, an account from a British officer who led some of the first deep Sahara expeditions with Model Ts! Lots of great stories of getting in and out of trouble, and lots of digging out cars from dunes. Bagnold later led the Long Range Desert Group in the second world war.
