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. |

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
2014 Ford Fiesta ST
Tue, 15 Oct 2013I'm not overly inclined to professional jealousy, as a rule. Sure, I go a bit green around the eyes when Ramsey draws the 911 GT3 trip to Weissach, Harley is tapped-in to drive a completely stunning Porsche 911 by Singer, or, you know, Drew Phillips gets to shoot a Lamborghini Veneno in the middle of a desert like some sort of sheik. I hate you guys...
Honestly though, one of the new car events that dug me the most, was when our Steven J. Ewing got to fling the Ford Fiesta ST around some hot corner of Europe. What goes around comes around, I suppose, as Mr. Ewing himself espoused an envious nature of the Focus ST trip that came before.
The good news in all this covetous intra-office behavior? All the cars mentioned, and specifically the Fiesta ST, are just wonderful to drive. I can say that with more confidence than ever now, having joined Ford for a good bit of Fiesta-flinging myself. In my case, the locale was slightly more pedestrian (Michigan not Portugal), and the car in question was the five-door version of the Fiesta ST that we get here in The States, as opposed to the three-door number they get across the pond.
Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
