Vehicle Description
Tricking out a Ford Model T into an inspired roadster is by no
means a new concept, but when taken to the level shown by this 1923
Ford T-Bucket Roadster, it sure seems that way. From the time its
installation began, the intent all along was to create a stellar
showpiece with the visual pull to turn heads wherever it was put on
display. A combination of awesome paint scheme, outstanding array
of chrome components and distinctive design makes it evident that
mission has been thoroughly accomplished. This one of a kind modded
masterpiece will afford its next owner with the option of either
retaining its status as a stationary attention magnet or taking a
few steps to set it into motion.
With its vibrant yellow exterior ornamented by multi-colored paint
graphics on the doors and a one of a kind hydraulic roof sitting
across the stop, this unusually well-crafted, magnetic roadster
will stop passers-by in their tracks. The paint itself is something
you have to see from close up to appreciate - the yellow base is
impressively deep and even and those painted graphics pop with so
much vitality it appears they're illuminated. In the ever-raging
battle for chrome supremacy, you're not likely to come across any
contenders that can top the assembly that's on display here - it's
everywhere, from the showstopping front axle and suspension
components, to the category-killer of an engine sitting in plain
sight in the open compartment, on back to the ornate, intricate
taillight casings. The aggressively angled hydraulic top is a
conversation piece unto itself - it not only raises and lowers, but
tilts as well to add yet another element of intrigue to this
singular vehicle.
Climb in through the passenger side door and you'll be greeted by a
seriously inspired cockpit. The purple ultra-leather seating
straddles the divide between buckets and bench and is perfectly
fitted to its tweed-lined surroundings. Just as with the exterior,
the intent here was to achieve that coveted "wow" factor and it's
been done with a lot of craft and precision. There are some great
finishing touches on display to give the interior even more impact
- the door panels feature flowing upholstered graphics that match
the color of the seating, as does the horizontally positioned
steering wheel sitting on its chrome column next to the signature
B&M shifter. Just beyond, the dash area is yet another focal
point in a car that has no shortage of them a set of digital gauges
take their position in a strip of illumination recessed into an
intricately-etched chrome instrument panel. A stainless-steel gas
tank shares space with the battery in the tweed-lined rear
compartment.
The fully decked out 383 cubic inch V8 on display in the open
compartment will draw you in right away. From top to bottom, this
engine features unbeatable visual impact. A pair of Demon carbs
sits underneath the dominant BDS blower and everywhere you cast
your eyes you'll find chrome within view - from the supercharger
body, to the valve covers, on back to the firewall. A look
underneath provides a seldom-encountered sight - because this
roadster hasn't seen any use on the road, its undercarriage is a
visual masterpiece, with no rock chips to mar the consistent yellow
paint. You'll find still more stunning chrome on display covering
the hydraulics and the centerpiece of the Halibrand quick-change
rear end. This outstanding piece of automotive artwork sits on a
set of absolutely killer Boyd Coddington wheels, outfitted with
Michelin tires up front and massive 27" Hoosiers in back.
