Vehicle Description
What do you get when you combine the aesthetic traits of a timeless
hot rod with months of planning and building? This incredible Ford
T-Bucket! Mixing the universal appeal of SoCal style with the road
going prowess of a well-massaged custom, this slick classic is an
impressive show stopper that provides its owner the best of both
worlds. And what's better: you can own and cruise this red hot
roadster for a fraction of the money and time it'll take to
complete a ground-up project. Looking for a traditional ride that's
old school cool? There's nothing better than this striking Ford hot
rod!
ORANGE APEEL
Take a close look at this clean custom and you'll find a
classically sculpted profile that was massaged to form over the
course of many carefully spent bills and many highly skilled hours.
Since the build is named Orange Peeler II, is makes perfect sense
that the car's lightweight fiberglass bucket and taut fiberglass
Turtle Deck sport brilliant orange two-stage. It's pretty much an
unspoken rule that all cool T-Buckets have wicked flames, which, on
this sizzling Ford, fade crisp white flares into cool blue tips.
Finishing touches include billet steps, a painted grille shell and
upright glass that's tilted in painted pillars. Safety is enhanced
by polished mirrors, polished marker lamps, polished halogen
headlights and simple taillights that are fronted by custom mesh.
And it all adds up to a delightfully unique showpiece that mixes
the gloss of modern craftsmanship with the grit of early hot
rodding!
UNIVERSAL PERFORMANCE
Glance between the rails and you'll find a reliable, 350 cubic inch
Chevrolet small block that's polished, rebuilt and ready to roll!
Revs are created when a tasteful air cleaner floats wind into a
chromed Edelbrock Performer EPS intake by way of a chromed Weber
4-barrel. At the perimeter of that intake, cast iron heads tilt
chromed valve covers over chromed Roadster Headers, which rumble
through chromed side-pipes. A hot, stainless-capped distributor
shoots spark through loomed MSD 8MM Heli-Core Solid Suppression
cables. At the front of those wires, a traditional V-belt spins
polished pulleys in front of a bright alternator, a polished water
pump and polished timing components. At the front of those
ancillaries, a beefy Walker radiator plays well with corrugated
hoses, a flashy pulley fan and a neat Boyce MotoMeter Junior. And
the clean orange mill is dotted with first-rate details like an
electric choke, sleeved lines, trick dipsticks, a polished block
off plate and a quality Lokar throttle linkage.
PROVEN INNOVATION
In keeping with its 'custom but functional' theme, this first class
Ford rides a sturdy chassis that's fully boxed under appealing
orange pigment. The smooth 350 spins power through a tough
Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed, which stacks a polished flywheel
cover in front of a polished fluid pan and a finned cooler.
Familiar ladder bars align modern coil-overs with a color-keyed
pumpkin. Opposite that axle, a fully independent front-clip, known
as a twin-tube setup, tilts two more modern coil-overs between
traditional hairpins and spry rack-and-pinion steering. Manual
stops are provided by big drums and two Wilwood clamped discs. A
painted fuel tank, spiced with a billet filler, discretely displays
the car's name. Details are on point, with a polished Ahooga Horn
joining niceties like a polished filter cover and a polished
starter. And all that hardware rolls on sporty alloy blades, which
lap 205/50R15 Hankook Ventus V2s in front of 315/35ZR17 Sumitomo
HTRs.
SIMPLE AND SWEET
Take a look inside this custom and you'll find a stylishly simple
interior that, in the name of timelessness, has been carefully
pieced together. The driver and one passenger strap in to
leather-trimmed buckets. In front of those seats, a body-matched
dash hangs retro AutoMeter telemetry above billet foot pedals.
Contrasting carpet floats a polished E-brake and piston-style
shifter between simple side panels. And the driver spins a polished
and speed-drilled steering wheel that pops off with the press of a
button.
Built to be driven AND seen, this sweet Ford is a nicely finished
classic that mixes killer personality with awesome curb appeal.
Looking for a road ready hot rod that's guaranteed to draw a crowd
wherever you go? Your search is officially over!
