Plainfield, Illinois, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Ford
Drive Type: Rear Wheel
Model: Model T
Mileage: 12,000
Trim: Model T
Up for bid is a meticulously maintained 1923 T-Bucket custom roadster. The fiberglass body is from Spirit Industries and the powder-coated frame has been stretched to 110”. The T-Bucket features a 351W engine and a 671 blower from the Blower Shop sitting on a custom made intake for this application. Just underneath the shotgun-style air intake sit two 600cfm Edelbrock carburetors. The engine is all billet and chrome and polished to a mirror finish; and while it hasn’t been on a dyno, horsepower calculates out to around 500. The vehicle weight without the driver is 2100lbs. The rest of the drive train is composed of a TCI C4 trans, built out to Stage II to handle the additional horsepower and torque; and a Winter’s polished Quick-Change rear end. Installed ratios are 2:99 and 4:75 (when gears are flipped). The steering is made up of a Flaming River reversed Corvair gearbox and a Flaming River chrome steering column. The suspension is an all chrome Mr.Roadster with heavy duty Spirit radius rods. It has a 12V electrical system with updated wiring and fuse panel; with LED turn signals and tail lights. Dash gauges are all electric Stewart-Warner; all modern type to insure accuracy. The speedometer dial itself is an analog needle, but the inner-workings are digital and can be calibrated to match your tire size by resetting dip-switches on the back. The interior is all custom, and all brand new. Two-tone blue to match the pin-striping on the car. Seats have been lowered to accommodate the chopped fiberglass roof. The roof has been upholstered to look like a convertible top, covered in Hartz-cloth.The sound system is a Secret Audio unit, concealed under the dash with an RF remote.This T sits on American Torque Thrust II, 15x14 rims wrapped with Hoosier 31x18.5 tires on the rear.The front rims are ET Gassers 15x4.5 with Michelin 145 SR15. The pictured trailer is included with this auction. It is a "soda pop" style trailer with a sturdy hinged lid. I don't know the exact dimensions right now, but can provide them to anyone interested. A guess-timate would be the trailer is somewhere in the area of 8 cubic feet. The trailer is not completed as it still requires some modifications to the gooseneck/tongue to accommodate the ride height of the car. This car is a multiple award winner. It has won the “Terrific T” class at Good Guys and the engine itself has been featured on the opening page of Good Guys monthly magazine from it's inaugural show in Joliet in 2007 (Mar 2008 issue). Most recently, this car was selected to participate in a pre-race event on track at the Chicagoland Motor Speedway before the Geico 400 last month.It has won “Best Motor” and “Best Ford in a Ford” honors almost anywhere it goes. It has been featured at the Chicago World of Wheels three times, winning top honors and returning this last year as a VIP invited exhibitor. If you want a well-built, full featured car that will turn heads everywhere you go, you can’t pass up this opportunity. A $1000 deposit is required within 48 hours of sale with the remaining balance due within 7 days via bank wire transfer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this vehicle; and thank you for your interest. This item is also being advertised locally, so seller reserves the right to end the auction at any time. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and to make whatever arrangements necessary to ship the vehicle.

Jerry Seinfeld doesn't love Sarah Jessica Parker's new Country Squire in latest CiCGC
Fri, 20 Jun 2014Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has finally returned for its fourth season of combining Jerry Seinfeld, a miscellaneous celebrity and a cup of java. But rather than fondly remembering some older piece of automotive machinery, this time around, Seinfeld is utterly unable to keep his hatred of Sarah Jessica Parker's 1976 Ford LTD Country Squire from coming out to hilarious effect.
However, Parker has such a high level of infectious enthusiasm for her recently purchased Country Squire that she seems to win over Seinfeld by the end - at least a little bit. For most of their time together, the two of them drive around Manhattan and the suburbs waxing nostalgic about what things were like when these wagons were ubiquitous.
Since this is actually SJP's car, she and Seinfeld trade off driving duties, and the image above should give you some indication of Seinfeld's reaction to the Sex and the City star behind the wheel. It seems this '70s land yacht might be a little too much for her to handle in New York traffic. Regardless, she is absolutely in love with her Ford.
Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas
Wed, 03 Apr 2013The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
