Selling my 23 T Bucket project. I've been collecting parts for this for over 10 years and I just don't have the room to store it anymore so its time to let it go. Here is a list of what is included-
Fiberglass T Bucket body with short bed glassed to tub. Plywood floor is glassed in already and body is channeled over frame rails. Body is pretty old and dirty and has some dings in the gelcoat but should finish up nice. Has an older chrome windshield frame in fair condition and a new spun aluminum gas tank in the bed.
Frame is a professionally built and made from 2x4 box tubing. Currently has a late 40's Ford truck axle in front and a late 70's Bronco Dana 44 rear axle in back. Axles are mocked up as a roller to move the car. Both have drum brakes that will need rebuilt. Has a reversed Corvair steering box and linkages to hook it up. Has older 70's style chrome wheels with new but older Dunlop tires that are in nice shape.
Also have a full chrome front and rear suspension setup with Carerra coil overs and a chrome leaf spring in front. Axle for this setup is a chrome tube style and I have 53 Chevy Bel Air spindles for it with a new kingpin kit to install them. No brakes with this setup but disc brake kits are readily available for the Bel Air spindles.
Motor is a good rebuildable Chevy 350 with a 4160 Holley carb and older Weiand stealth manifold in fair condition but useable. I pulled one of the heads on the motor to check the bore and it is nice. Will probably need gone through but is a great core to start with. Has older chrome valve covers and some chrome dress up parts for the front drive. Also have a new timing chain set for it.
Trans is an older turbo 400 and was rebuilt in the 80's and never used. Should be good to go since its been inside since it was rebuilt. Also have a short drive shaft to hook it up to the Dana 44.
Set of chrome long tube T Bucket headers that are new but will need polished from sitting. They should clean up really nice though.
Have some wiring and a set of headlights in fair condition that should work good. Also some other small light parts too.
Brand new Walker T Bucket radiator with a 23 fiberglass grille shell and electric fan. Also a polished overflow tank and a repro Boyce Motometer cap that is new and nice.
A decent set of fiberglass fenders. One is slightly warped from storage but will straighten out nice when mounted. They are pretty old and I don't know if they even make these anymore.
Also a whole box of miscellaneous small parts and brackets, shifters, brake parts, and lots of nuts and bolts.
If you have been looking to build one of these you know how much it costs just to get this many parts together. My starting price is less than half of what it would cost to buy this stuff new. Car is located outside Cleveland Ohio at my shop if you would like to set up an appointment to see it. Car would probably fit in the back of a long bed truck or a 10' or longer trailer. I can't ship it though due to the amount of loose parts. Car does not have a title since it is considered a kit car but I will provide winning bidder with a detailed bill of sale for titling purposes. $500 deposit through Paypal due within 24 hours of auction end. Car must be picked up and paid in full within 7 days of auction end. No reserve so winning bid takes it home!

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights
Sat, Aug 15 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.
Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks
Sun, 25 May 2014Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
