1923 Ford T-Bucket

Description

At first glance, this 1923 Ford T-Bucket is all about being a mean machine. But as you take a closer look you can see it's a unique detailed build with Hemi V8 power, four-wheel disc brakes, well-coordinated flames, old-school elements, and much more.

This makes the right first impression you want on a hot rod roadster. Not only is the fiberglass body painted black, but also the frame, suspension, grille, and side pipes for a full dark heart attitude. But it's not a full midnight presentation. The glossy black on the body is also the right canvas for the neon-like green flames that have a bold purple finish. Clear headlights with integrated turn signals, carriage-style tail lights, a two-piece windshield, and a proper big rear tire stance give you the right details for a cool custom. And we especially like the aluminum gas tank set in a wood stake bed that really sets the rear end apart.

The black interior continues the dark look. It's well-done with a pleated bench and good carpeting. While a proper T-Bucket has a minimalist style setup, there are also some great driver details. The wood-rimmed steering wheel is detachable; the shifter is a premium Lokar unit; and the full gauges have a green background to go with the exterior flames.

The engine of a T-Bucket is out there for everyone to see, and so this one makes sure it's a full part of the build. So the full engine block is painted to match the green in the checkerboard firewall and body flames. And just as the flames end with a hint of purple, the plug wires match, so this is a mean roadster with a thoughtful sense of style. And more than just looking good, this has a ton of substance. This is a classic 392 cubic-inch Hemi V8 topped with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and a cool Hot Heads intake. There are some nice supporting components, like the electric fan, newer wiring harness, and even a Joe Hunt distributor. And the Sanderson headers feed the side pipes for added power and growl. The three-speed automatic transmission feeds into a Currier 9-inch rear end. As you look underneath, you'll spot a split wishbone front end, four-link rear with adjustable coilovers, Mickey Thompson big and little tires combine with the stopping power of four-wheel disc brakes. So it's powerful, and it knows how to get that power to the pavement.

This is the fun and fast T-bucket with some thoughtful flair, too. So it's time to get your hands on this flame-kissed hot rod. Call today!!!
