This beautiful T-bucket is amazing to drive, very fast and gets tons of attention. Like any street rod that's driven, this one isn't perfect. It is very good though, and it wouldn't take much to bring her up to show condition. Unfortunately, I'm losing the use of my garage, and that's forcing me to put this super-fun car up for sale.

The motor is a pre-Vortec 350 Chevy crate motor with a mild street cam. It's been assembled with a Weiand 8004 intake, Edelbrock 1406, Edelbrock Pro-Flo air filter, Holley mechanical fuel pump, Holley regulator and Flame Thrower HEI. The transmission is a TH400 professionally rebuilt by Eagle Transmission just last year. The rear end is a Ford 8" with 2.79 gears. The shifter and parking brake are Lokar.

In addition to the transmission, the following items were installed/replaced within the last 12 months:

  • Mustang II front brake calipers
  • Speedway front shocks
  • SO-CAL steering damper
  • Champion spark plugs
  • Taylor Spiro-Pro wires
  • Flame-Thrower distributor cap and rotor
  • Anchor motor mounts (USA)
  • Spicer U-joints
  • National real axle seals
  • Energy Suspension rear radius rod bushings
  • Carb rebuilt w/Edelbrock kit
Wheels and tires were also purchased recently and are almost new:

  • Weld Racing Pro Star 15 x 5 / Nexen 165/80R15
  • Weld Racing Pro Star 15 x 12 / Mickey Thompson 29 x 15 R15LT
Ergonomics in this car are unusually good. I'm 6' / 200 lbs, and I can drive it comfortably. That's not typical of these cars, especially with a standard size body. Many T-buckets are set up in such a way that I can't even sit in them, let alone drive. The last photo shows how well I fit in the car. Other nice touches include the fact that the battery and fusebox are located under the seat for easy access. The transmission crossmember is a bolt-on. Unlike many of these cars, you won't have to pull the motor to swap torque converters. Radius rods, drag link, tie rod and windshield support rods are all stainless steel. Fuel mileage is approximately in the low 20s, so the 10-gallon tank provides a good cruising range if you don't have a lead foot. This car also has seat belts to meet state safety requirements.

Bugs: This car is equipped with Intellitronix digital gauges. They all work fine except the speedometer, which sometimes indicates a few MPH when the car is standing still with the motor running. I have also seen the speedometer black out once in a while. I suspect this is due to a loose ground somewhere, but haven't had time to look into it. The gauge manufacturer is still in business if you need support, or the entire cluster could simply be replaced or updated.

This car has a clear Texas title as a 1923 Ford Roadster. State inspection and registration were recently renewed.

CAUTION!
These cars have a high HP to weight ratio, and they are very fast. Even with one like this that corners well and generally accelerates in a straight line, it's easy for an inexperienced driver to get into trouble. Be sure you want a machine like this and that you have all required permissions from other family members before you bid!!

Please ask all questions before bidding.

The car is for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Car is sold as-is with no warranty or refunds.

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
