Vehicle Description
1923 Ford T-Bucket
Based on the Model T, T-Buckets have to be one of the earliest
examples of hot rodding. These cars have been a staple in the
classic car world for decades and continue to be popular. They
really are hotrodding at its finest. Big exposed motors and wide
back tires let you know they mean business. This 23 T has a great
old school look and was built right. You see a lot of these riding
around with glass bodies but this one is true 23 Ford Model T
steel. The body is solid and looks great painted in a Metallic
light Blue. It features chrome headlights with eyebrows up front
and in back are the very cool 1923 taillight housings that have
been fitted with custom lenses. It has the tall style windshield up
front in the original chrome frame. The radiator shell is also 1923
Ford and is all chrome. The front wheels are 12 spoke Radir wheels
with deep offset aluminum slots in back. This is the period correct
look and they are wrapped with Mickey Thompson street slick
tires.
When you have an exposed motor like this it better be looking good
which is exactly the case. It is powered by a 265 V8 out of a 55
Corvette and chromed out all over. From the scoop up top to the oil
and transmission pan this thing is almost all chrome. The motor was
completely rebuilt and upgraded with a performance cam. Other nice
features on the motor include the polished distributer, electronic
ignition, Flamethrower coil, Weiand intake, polished 12 volt
generator and ceramic coated headers with side pipes. It has 4
Stromberg carburetors for the look but only 1 is plumbed to help
with gas mileage. Backing the motor is a 2 speed powerglide
transmission that sends power back to the 8 1/2 inch rear end which
is also out of a 55 Corvette. The car has a 6 inch deep tubular
axle up front and the suspension utilizes coil springs with boggy
leaf springs in back. There are zero heating issues and it has a 3
core radiator with extra brass tank on top. Sitting in the rear bed
is a spun aluminum 11 gallon gas tank which looks great.
The interiors on these cars are usually kept pretty simple but this
one features things like the spun aluminum dash bezel which really
sets it apart. The Black gauges go all the way across the dash and
there is a Sun tachometer on the column. The tall shifter is a must
have on a car like this and it is topped off with a very cool
shifter knob. The upholstery work is done in grey vinyl and is in
good condition.
This car has a great look and a lot of very cool features that
really give it that old school feel. Even better is it is being
offered up for a great price!
