Vehicle Description
This 1923 Ford T-bucket roadster is a fantastic build for power and
poise. After all, while people stare at the V8, dual-quads, shotgun
air grabber, and side pipes on most of these hot rods, it comes
secondary to the full-custom color paint package on this unique
roadster.
The white paint was the right choice for a build like this.
T-buckets were meant for sunny days, and this one has a good gloss
to ensure it radiates in the sunlight. It also makes for a great
base to lay the custom multi-colored graphics on top. This is
full-painted artistry with a Peter Max vibe, so it captures the
right feeling for the initial era of the T-bucket. But this is a
newer fiberglass body, and it's done with the correct details, like
a passenger side door, and it's channeled over the frame. Because
classic cars need good brightwork, this hot rod obliges with the
correct traditional pieces like the grille, headlight bezel, and
windshield frame. And the polished suspension components add an
extra degree of bright detail. And, of course, it has a terrific
power stance of skinny tires up front and aggressive rubber in the
rear for where the power meets the pavement.
The interior continues to show off more of the thoughtful setup.
The white vinyl seat has a hint of tuck and toll pattern that also
wraps around the side panels for a very uniform look. It also
matches the rear shelf. Plus, the brown on the carpeting is a nice
complement to the wood dash panel and wood steering wheel. And
speaking of the dash, it houses a tidy switch control panel for the
lights and ignition. And the VDO gauge set is a crisp and clear
layout, including speedo and tach.
The high-polish engine bay is meant to be kept on display. Even the
firewall is a smooth mirror-like piece to double the shine! Within
the style is also plenty of substance. This is a well-built 350
cubic-inch V8. It's upgraded with dual Holley four-barrel
carburetors, an Edelbrock high-rise intake, an MSD distributor, and
an electric fan. It makes for a nice V8 that fires up readily, runs
confidently, and produces a healthy rumble out of the header-fed
side pipes. This is the kind of car you'll want to drive, so there
is the TH400 stout but smooth three-speed automatic transmission.
The suspension includes upgrades like front disc brakes and a coil
spring rear.
You know this is one hot rod roadster for detail lovers. So if
you're ready for all eyes to be on you, call now!
