T Bucket Roadster 1923 T on 2040-cars
Olathe, Kansas, United States
|
Up for auction is a T Bucket Roadster. I am selling this car for a friend that inherited it from his grandfather. This car is titled as a "homebuilt". It began construction in 1966 in Southern California and is titled as a 1966. My friends grandfather purchased it in the late 70s and owned it until he passed a few years ago. In the early 90s, he had the car repainted and a new interior installed, both are still in excellent condition. The last upgrade that he completed was in the late 90s when he converted the front drum brakes to discs. It is powered by a 1958 Corvette 283 with a turbo 350 3 speed automatic transmission and a 9" ford posi trac rear end. It is a fiberglass bucket with steel tube frame. I'm not sure what the gear ratio is, but the car is very driveable. It has an electric fuel pump and internally regulated alternator. It has a Holly Street Dominator intake mankifold and the factory corvette valve covers. The odometer shows 25,727 miles, but I can not guarantee the accuracy. The engine and trans have no leaks, but the rear diff has a very slight leak, common problem with 9" Fords. The emergency brake is a drive shaft mounted disc brake with a pull handle in the floor. Front suspension is all chrome, in excellent condition with the inverted leaf spring. Rear suspension is the same inverted leaf spring with air shocks that are good. The dash has a fuel gauge, amp meter, temp, oil pressure and speedo, all work. When he decided to sell the car, we installed a new battery and a new carburetor, Edelbrock polished. We replaced one brake line and flushed the brake system. The header side pipes have baffles in them, so it is not incredibly loud, but it does thump! I am located in Olathe, KS, southwest side of Kansas City and will show the car any time. The car runs and drives great and is absolutely an "Old School hot rod". I am selling this car with no reserve, It will sell! Please ask questions early so I have time to provide adequate answers. I can provide additional pictures if you like. I will require a $500 deposit through Pay Pal within 24 hours of auction end and the balance paid in cash or cashiers check within 7 days. I will assist with loading if you have the car shipped and I can store the car for up to 14 days. If you need additional terms, please have those agreed upon prior to acution end. Thanks for looking and happy bidding.

Ford sells 7-millionth Explorer in America
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Say what you will about the evolution of the Ford Explorer, from roofed Ranger to body-on-frame sport utility vehicle to unibody crossover - the bottom line is that it's been a tremendously successful model for Ford. In fact, the Blue Oval automaker has sold seven million Explorer models in the United States alone.
The milestone, marked nearly a quarter-century after the introduction of the original in 1990, comes on the eve of the introduction of a new Explorer at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. We don't yet know how the new Explorer will shape up, but we're mere days away from finding out.
Now heading into its sixth generation, the Explorer has formed the basis of Ford's utility lineup for over two decades. The Explorer landed on the market right around the time that the Bronco was trailing off, predating the company's expansion into larger SUVs like the Expedition and Excursion and crossovers like the Escape, Edge and Flex.
Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.
