Vehicle Description

1923 Ford T-Bucket Custom Roadster

The T-Bucket name originated in the 50's after being applied to the custom car named "Lightning Bug" which was later known as the "Kookie Kar" when it appeared on television. The name was created due to the craze of extensively modifying the Model T by hot rodders and greasers back in the day. While these cars are fairly common nowadays not all are created equal. This car was originally built by a custom builder, Scott Silva, but has since been entirely redone again in recent years so it is a fresh build. Over 600 hours of work was put into creating the custom fiberglass body that is extremely unique. One look at the shape of the rear and you will see why this T-Bucket stands out above the rest. That body has been entirely repainted in a gloss Black with with fine metal flake that really pops when you get it out in the sun. The body sits on a custom Total Performance chassis that has been fully powder coated in Silver. Up front the car has a '32 grill shell with a chrome grill which combined with the body lines gives the car a profile that walks the line between a Model T and the iconic '32 Ford. The electrical is all working properly and it has LED taillights mounted in chrome bezels. The car rides on a set of 20 American Racing wheels in back with 12 spoke front wheels and also comes with a set of Budnik rear wheels with new Mickey Thompson tires.

When you are running a car with no hood it becomes pretty important to have the motor looking good. Well this one does not disappoint with a professionally built 350 crate motor. Not only that but when you are sporting those wide rear tires you better be able to turn them. Rated at around 480 hp this car has no problem accomplishing that task. It features aluminum heads, a polished aluminum Edelbrock intake, 750 cfm carburetor, Pertronix distributor and custom Red accented valve covers. To match that and tie in a bit more Red the firewall has been nicely painted. Cooling is provided by the 4 core Walker radiator with electric fans and it also has a transmission cooler. Paired with the motor is a Turbo 400 with a 3200 stall converter to send power back to the Currie 9 inch Ford rear with 3:73 gears and 32 spline axles. The car sounds great and you can tell it means business with polished out Sanderson side pipes. Other nice mechanical features include the 4 wheel Wilwood disc brakes, 6 inch Bell drop axle, and chrome adjustable rear coil overs.

The interior is all custom Black upholstery done in a pleated style with nice Red stitching. It has a Lokar shifter that is mounted to the floor where there is nice Black carpeting. The dash is topped with aftermarket Omega Kustom Instrument gauges and it has a satellite driven speedometer that operates off a sensor mounted near the rear deck. The steering wheel is custom from Budnik and is removable to help make it easier to enter/exit the vehicle. In back the car does have a trunk where you will find the gas cap, battery, and cut off switch.

This is such a nicely built T-Bucket that is ready to go. If you are out searching for one of these there is no doubt that it is going to be tough getting this one off your mind.

This is one awesome car being offered up at the very reasonable $28,500.00!
