T-bucket Custom Ford Bucket T Hot Rod Fiberglass Body Roadster Top 23 1923 25 27 on 2040-cars
Mountain Home, Arkansas, United States
Truly One-of-a-Kind T-Bucket Custom Body and Custom Frame Dual-Carb 6 Cylinder and 4-Speed Note: This is NOT a 1927 model car (built within last few years), eBay insists on a year and if anything modern is entered they insist on a VIN number and I do not have that, so listed the car as a "27". Car is for local pick up only in Mountain Home, Arkansas (Baxter County). Car is sold as is where is. Vehicle is sold on a bill of sale (no title). Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. I’m helping a friend sell this car. The car is about 10 miles from my house, so please allow time for questions to get answered. The gentleman who was building this car is a full-time professional car builder / restorer. His work is top-notch. This car is a personal project that he started and hasn’t finished. Car is mocked up and rolling, but is not wired and has never been run. Body and Chassis: Years ago there was a local company selling T-Bucket kits and the owner created a handful (less than 20) of the long T-bucket body you see in the photos. Then he purposely destroyed the mold, so there would be no more. Of the 20, only 2 are known to have been built into cars, this one and another. When the T-bucket fella offered my friend a body to build, my friend asked for, and got, the “plug” that the mold was made from. (The plug will always be stronger than the mold or the castings and this body is that plug.) The fiberglass work on this car is thick and stout—no disappointments. Whereas a normal T-bucket has a short cab and a bucket in back, this design does not use a bucket, but instead extends the cab on back. This creates a unique look and allows you to have access to the extra storage room from inside the vehicle. However, my friend did not like the look of the extended body by itself and thought it needed a top to look complete, so he hand-built the fiberglass top you see—and that is one-of-a-kind, the other known car does not have this. The top is hinged and he intended to mount assist struts off the roll bar. I think he hit a homerun with the body and top, it has a very sinister look. The top has an opening for a cloth sun roof. Fabric top that runs on rails and wads at the back type of deal. Or leave open, as is. The front cowl was made for a mini sprint car that runs a motorcycle engine and my friend extended and reworked it to fit this body. He also set the engine back into the firewall for a custom look (see photos). The chassis is handmade out of 2x3 box steel. He drilled holes (enclosed) in the frame for style. · Rear end is a Chevy S-10 with 3:73 gears. · Custom pedal set was made and hung. · Wheels are powder-coated black (he made the front wheels for this car). · Gas tank (polymer) and battery box are there. Note: The front drum brakes do not come with the car. These were given to him by his father and he is keeping them. He will install a set of disc brakes and rotors on the front before the car is picked up (see last photo of axel). Discs and caliper set is brand new, but has surface rust from years of storage. Engine and Transmission: Engine is a Ford 300 6-cyclider out of a UPS truck (they have to replace engines after a certain amount of time, regardless, and he got this one that way). He has not heard this engine run, but has no doubt it is fine. At the same time, he was able to get 2 of the one-barrel carbs the engine runs off of and built a handmade intake for them. The carb linkage is already there and fabbed up. The header is a Borla from the UPS truck (number-one quality). Transmission is an aluminum Ford 4-speed manual out of an 80’s Fairmont. (He says 4th gear is basically overdrive). Driveshaft is on the car. To Finish: Pick out and install the gauges you want, dash is not drilled, so it’s perfect for whatever you want. Wire the car; there are kits that make this very simple these days, you can specify the fuse box and options you are running. Finish mechanical details, paint, and upholster as you like. You will need to apply for a special-construction vehicle title. If you have to have a V-8, the engine and trans that are here would be good trading material. This is an awesome project car for a hobbyist or father and son. If you build this car, it will be the only one in the world.

Evo grabs Ford's Fiesta R5 rally car by the scruff
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Evo and host Henry Catchpole were thinking of excuses reasons to borrow the bonkers Ford Fiesta R5 rally car for a day or two, when it struck them: the car is street legal. With access to the R5, some of the world's most beautiful driving roads in the English Lake Country nearby, and a handy video crewing hanging around, the plan seemed to write itself.
Based on the resulting video, it was a good plan. Without spoiling the video for you - something we can't really do in text as the best part is listening to the rally car run - Catchpole finds the Fiesta to be sublimely quick and massively satisfying. Even taking the car for a spin on a pseudo rally stage, after leaving the English countryside, does nothing but add to his assessment of the beastly little Ford. Scroll on below to see for yourself, and enjoy the ride.
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.
