Vehicle Description
The original hot rod is still just as wild and affordable as ever.
This 1923 Ford T-Bucket gets all the iconic pieces right, but it
still goes for individual style with a slick custom flame paintjob
and a powerful V8 that's leading the way.
This is the iconic hot rod to have because the now-legendary shape
is the one that launched the movement. This one gets all the
elements you love right - open engine, open cockpit, upright
windshield, and a stubby deck out back. But looks a little closer,
and you'll see a very thoughtful build. Elements like the full
cycle fenders, seatbelts, and roll hoop are pieces that you like to
see but rarely find. But more than just thoughtful, we know why
you're attracted to this one. It has that great raked appearance
that looks like excessive speed has pushed back every component on
the frame. And with the size of those massive rear tires, that tale
is not hard to believe. The aggressive red paint looks great on the
lightweight fiberglass body. Plus, it really helps bring out the
chrome in everything from the carriage lights used around the body
to the side pipes, to the Centerline wheels.
Minimalism is the word when you get into a T-Bucket, and this one
does it right. The bench seat nicely coordinates with the rest of
the body tub for a seamless appearance, and the black vinyl
provides the kind of durability that means you don't have to worry
about it being out in the sunshine. This also nicely conceals your
battery and fuse panel. Between the driver and the passenger is the
bold B&M performance shifter. The full set of Classic
Instruments gauges looks terrific with its central placement. But
the big Auto Gauge tach mounted directly in front of the classic
four-spoke wood-rimed steering wheel is an instant reminder that
this T-Bucket has some serious power to offer.
If you're going to be spending all your time behind the wheel
peering into the exposed engine bay, then it better be something as
wild as this one. In fact, the 350 cubic-inch V8 might require
sunglasses if you're going to be looking at it all the time. From
the big air grabber with butterfly valves, to the piping, to the
firewall, to the Inglese valve covers, to the pulleys, you're
looking at one shiny total package. But once you see past the
flash, you'll see the substance of a Corvette LT1 motor bored 0.30
over with a 275 super cam and roller rockers with 3/8 springs. It
inhales deeply though a Holley 650 CFM four-barrel carburetor and
Weiand intake, and the V8 exhales with serious authority out of
header side pipes. It's a total package that's rated at around 400
horsepower, which will make this lightweight classic really move.
This V8 is backed up by the right components such as a TH350
three-speed automatic transmission, Mallory Unilite electronic
ignition, and electric fan. Plus, it has all the right suspension
components to keep you feeling good on the road. This includes a
three-link front end, front disc brakes, and a three-link coilover
rear.
This one is exciting to drive, fun to look at, and always attracts
attention. The classic T-Bucket remains the most fun per dollar you
can have with a hot rod. Don't wait on this quality build, call
today!!!
