STK 3809 1923 Ford Model T Replica Street Rod
This 1923 Ford T-Bucket replica is the classic hot rod as
envisioned by the legend George Barris. Based on information
provided by the Seller, the replica package was furnished to the
original owner by Total Performance, Inc. of Wallingford CT in
1985. The comprehensive Total performance package included
extensive body and chassis/suspension components. The fiberglass
body was carefully finished in PPG Wineberry over Silver with
accent pin stripping. It is equipped with a 2-piece windshield and
custom removable soft top. Period-correct chrome Model T cowl lamp
assemblies are also perfect accents and polished Weld alloy wheels
(15x3.5f/15r) mount Mickey Thompson 'Sportsman' series radials. The
interior is pure hot rod with stunning pleated black vinyl
upholstery. Every detail is top-shelf and the dash contains a full
set of analogue gauges. This roadster is also radio and heater
delete. Again, based on information provided by the seller,
horsepower is furnished by a 383ci Chevy stroker that was built by
CHS Machine, Inc. The engine is fully chrome dressed and fitted
with Mallory ignition, Edelbrock Torker-Plus cam, aluminum
'Offenhauser-style' Tunnel Ram Dual Quad intake and (2) Holley
single-feed carburetors. Exhaust is routed through chrome
tube-headers to free-flowing side pipes. Behind this strong 'Mouse'
sits a GM Turbo400 3-speed automatic built by Gearstar Transmission
and a chromed 8" Ford differential fitted with 3.36:1 gearing. The
custom Total Performance chassis uses handsome chrome components
everywhere. The front suspension consists of a dropped axle and
transverse leaf spring w/modified radius rods. The rear axle setup
utilizes multi-link Watts Linkage, radius rods and coil-over
shocks. This package rides nicely and handles well. The chassis is
fitted with manual steering and Wilwood front disc/drum brakes
w/parking brake. This stunning '23 T-Bucket replica will soon
become a great addition to someone's garage and a fun summer ride.
