Vehicle Description
It's a super stylish street rod based on what's arguably the most
influential car in American history. This 1923 Ford T Bucket is a
great looking, well configured ride, with fresh power under its
hood that sounds so good you'll want to fire it up just to take a
listen. It's an undeniable head turner that comes equipped with
features to make it equally at home drawing attention on city
streets or waging battle as a worthy competitor on the local car
show circuit.
Due to their sheer novelty, most T Buckets have a certain cool
factor already on board, but it takes planning and execution to
take things to the next level. When you see the way the black paint
on this vintage Ford contrasts with its chrome suspension parts and
sidepipes, how its exterior fittings pop against their dark
surroundings and how everything blends together so seamlessly,
you'll know right away that this street rod is already there. Its
black paint looks strong and if you wanted to take it up a notch, a
little elbow grease will get it there. The pinstripes on the
radiator cover, rear end pumpkin and surrounding the brake lights
are a great finishing detail. A clean white convertible top sits in
place for protection against the elements, fitting great and
sporting a clear plastic window in back. Take notice of the
low-slung stance - it fits this aggressive looking roadster
perfectly.
A very nice white vinyl interior sits inside the doors, featuring a
tuck and roll pattern on the fresh-looking bench seat that's
matched by the door and kick panels. Just in front, the floor
shifter has plenty of height and sits within convenient reach. The
dash area is very nicely laid out, with an assortment of SunPro
gauges sitting in the aluminum plated cluster that are easily
readable and fully functional that are joined by the SunPro tach
mounted on the steering column. The push button starter is a nice
added feature. An aluminum 8-gallon fuel cell sits alongside a
securely mounted battery in back, stylishly concealed by a white
vinyl cover that features the same tuck and roll pattern as that of
the seating.
When a car features an open engine compartment, aesthetics joins
power output as a top priority. The 350 cubic inch V8 on display
here has things covered on both accounts. It's only logged about
400 miles since being installed and is running and sounding great,
while producing a deep, aggressive exhaust note into aftermarket
headers leading to a pair of very sharp looking sidepipes. It's
armed with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb sitting on a Weiand intake
manifold to up its power game and receives maximum spark that's
delivered via an MSD Blaster 2 coil. The engine sits in front of an
eye-catching aluminum firewall and wears a pair of chrome valve
covers that blend perfectly with the other components inside the
engine compartment, including chrome air cleaner up top and the
chrome alternator and aluminum fan and housing just in front. A
3-speed automatic TH350 transmission sits just behind it, shifting
with smooth precision. Power disc brakes at all four corners
provide fade-resistant stops as this great looking street rod
cruises on its set of 15" polished aluminum wheels, outfitted with
Cooper Trendsetter tires up front and Hankook Ventus tires in back.
A look below at the undercarriage is a must in this case - the
frame looks great alongside the chrome suspension components both
in front and in back.
Very nicely configured and amply powered, this 1923 Ford T Bucket
carries all the visual impact you could want in a street rod. Call
