Vehicle Description
This 1927 Ford T-Bucket is quite different in the details. It's a
sleeker Lakester setup built with a long list of impressive vintage
racer-style details, including a triple-deuce V8. So an iconic
package that is also absolutely distinct.
The open engine bay, rounded fiberglass body tub, and extra-large
rear tires are all part of the classic T-Bucket look. There's even
a nice glow to the dark blue paint. But this is a sleeker Lakester
built for a style that comes from high-speed runs. You see this in
the details, like the raked windshield, a more aerodynamic shield
over the chassis, knock-off style wheels, and speed holes drilled
into the front axle and surrounding brackets. And this sits nice
and low thanks to no bodywork behind the passenger cab. This also
means the Winters Performance quick-change rear end is on full
display. There are even cool style details, like the Chevrolet
grille that reminds you what's really powering this sleek
T-bucket.
The interior has more unique details, like suicide doors, plush
carpeting, and a body tub contoured for the bucket seat setup. But
this open roadster also pays tribute to its classic Lakester racer
theme with vintage Simpson lap belts, a vintage-style four-spoke
steering wheel, and the full gauge package dominating the dash.
The engine bay has an extra tidy setup featuring the 283 cubic-inch
V8 and a triple set of dual-barrel carbs as the centerpiece. Not
only do you have tri-power, but there's also a high-rise aluminum
intake and ceramic-coated shorty headers that feed into the side
pipes. There are thoughtful details like the well-formed steel
lines and the coil given a polished case. You also have good
supporting components, like an aluminum radiator and a billet
distributor. This has a great hot rod suspension setup with front
disc brakes, wide rear tires, and parallel four-link bars front and
rear. Plus, the quick-change rear is both durable and pure vintage
cool.
This is a thoughtfully built Lakester that has both style and
substance. So if you love a distinct roadster, call today!
