For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is this solid 1923 Ford Roadster. The quintessential hot rod, the T-Bucket was the result of Ford Model T’s being hot-rodded beginning in the 50’s. Stripping a vehicle to the bare essentials of what a car still is, these hot rods will often contain a large V8 engine, a “bucket” style cockpit, four wheels, and not much else. This particular roadster has a 350 CID Chevrolet V8 making 400 horsepower, mated to a Turbo 350 3 speed automatic transmission, and running out to a ford rear end. In an attempt to wrangle in the ridiculous power-to-weight ratio, this screaming demon is fitted with Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro Street 29x18.5x15 tires at the rear, with matching 7.5” wide tires at the front, all mounted to chrome mag wheels. It is all brought to a halt with disc brakes up front and drum brakes in the rear. If the thundering side-pipe exhaust doesn’t properly warn people of your approach, then take your pick between the standard or the classic “ooga” horn to make your presence know. Moving around the vehicle, you can’t help but notice the sunshine yellow paint. However, take a closer look and you will find that the entire frame has been powder coated to match the body, and that many key suspension components as well as most every part on the engine are finished in high quality chrome. Though the cabin is rather Spartan, inside you will find high quality leather upholstery, and a comfortable wood grain wheel. This particular T-Bucket also comes with a custom hard top if you prefer to ride in the shade. If driving thrills and attention are what you seek in your automobile, then look no further.To view this vehicle in greater detail including HD pictures and videos, visit www.GatewayClassicCars.com.
