1923 Ford T Bucket Roadster on 2040-cars
Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
1923 Ford T Bucket Street Rod
You are bidding on an original T Bucket that was built back in 1964, with a Kenison fiberglass body. When I was growing up in the 60’s I was always involved with
custom Rods. I always wanted to do a T Bucket. In the later part of my life I
found this T that was built in 1964. I purchased it and did a complete
restoration every bolt and nut was removed. It took almost two years to
complete. The body is painted with a burgundy and is as straight as an arrow;
only the best paint was used with two coats of paint and four coats of clear
coat. Every piece was painted and primered individually on this T Bucket. It
has a brand new 1968--327 Chevy Corvette engine 280 horse power. The interior
is $100.00 a yard leather that was installed by a professional upholstery shop.
It was built on a Model A frame with a 1957 It has a new rebuilt Chevy 350 turbo transmission; new drive shaft; new kickdown cable. It has a Eldelbrock 600 CFM Carburetor with an electric chock that is rebuilt; has an Eldelbrock Torque II intake manifold. It has new front tires and rims; new front disc brake conversion kit/chevy bolt pattern; new front I-beam axle; new gauges and wire harness from Speedway Motors; new fiberglass dash from Speedway Motors, new rear shocks; new master cylinder and brake lines; new rear brake cylinders; new tie-rod ends on steering linkage; new B & M shifter; new fuel line with electric old school fuel pump.
It has 50 miles since the complete restoration.
Can you imagine taking this to a car show, which is a real trophy winner and telling the people that this was built back in the 60’s with all the history this T has. A close friend of mine that works on custom rods and I rebuilt this T-Bucket. The Kenison body is built so much better than the current body that you purchase today and it has all the old school look. I feel you will never find another T Bucket that was built like this one was in the 60’s.
You could never build this T-Bucket for what I have on the reserve today. Who ever purchases this I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. When you make your bid, know you are bidding with confidence that you are bidding on a great T-Bucket. I am semi-retired and since I am retiring to Florida my better half says I need to downsize.
If you have any questions concerning this pickup please call Dave @ 4028902726. I do not accept text message. If you need references just let me know.
This if you need this T-Bucket delivered to your doorstep I have a friend that can put it on Central Dispatch for the best rate for delivery.
I have the right to end the auction at any. Concerning payment, $500.00 paid through PayPal within 24 hours and the rest by certified check, no later than 5 business days. If you do not plan on paying for this T Bucket please do not bid and make it easier on both of us. |

Ford Fiesta rally car warms up in Sweden
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Rallycross is seeing a sudden surge in popularity with two series bringing the racing to the US and Europe. The Ford OMSE team is competing in both championships this season, and it saw no reason not to hold practice with a highly modified Fiesta in the snow of Northern Sweden. It brought together Andreas Bakkerud from the European-focused FIA World Rallycross Championship and Patrik Sandell from the North American-focused Global Rallycross series for some training and fun. They certainly appear to be enjoying themselves, too, with some lovely pirouettes in the powder.
If you're unfamiliar with rallycross, the discipline combines the best of rallying and circuit racing. Drivers (with no co-drivers) race rally cars over a circuit that generally mixes dirt and asphalt, and unlike traditional rallying, multiple cars compete side-by-side at once. Even better, it's often a very two-fisted form of motorsports with lots of car-to-car contact. Global Rallycross and World Rallycross will both kick off their seasons in May. With spring on the way, scroll down to watch the Fiesta kick up some of the last snow drifts of the year.
Lexus gets top brand marks from Consumer Reports; Ford, Jeep hit hard
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its 2014 Car Brand Report Cards, with Lexus again reigning at the top and doing so with the same industry-topping score of 79 that it registered in last year's Report Cards. This year, the institute credited its lineup for being "usually quiet, comfortable, and fuel-efficient," noting it's the only brand on the list "to achieve an excellent average overall reliability score." The Car Brand Report Cars list is meant to rank the best all-around vehicles based on CR testing and reliability results tallied by subscribers it surveyed. Each brand included must have sufficient test and reliability data for at least three models, a standard which left out 11 marques including Fiat, Jaguar, Land Rover and Porsche.
This 2014 Brand Report Cars edition is the first of a new format in which sub-brands have been broken out from their parent brands, with Acura using this year to move up the leaderboard into second place with a score of 75 for its "reliable, well-finished and somewhat sporty models." The top three was rounded out by Audi, climbing from eighth to third by scoring a 74 for "well-crafted interiors, nice handling and good gas mileage." Audi scored highest in the road-test portion, its improved reliability aiding its rise. The top nine was completed by Subaru, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz.
Ford and Jeep weighed in at the other end of the rankings, Jeep taking the lowest overall score in the road tests and hampered by "a mix of spotty reliability." Ford was sunk by reliability issues with its MyFord Touch infotainment system which consumers found troublesome enough to negate its cars earning "solid test scores" for being "very nice to drive." Perhaps the rumored switch from Microsoft to Blackberry's QNX for the next generation SYNC will help them out. Cadillac's score also took a hit for infotainment reasons after it was the leading US brand last year, the CUE system in the XTS dragging Cadillac to the bottom of all General Motors brands.
Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
