Ford Other 331 V8 1925
General description :
1925 Custom T Bucket There are all sorts of styles of T Buckets out there and this 1925 Custom seems to take the best features from all of them and roll them into one. The car has a great look and whether its sitting still or moving down the road looks incredibly fast. The body is in great shape and coated in a Black Metallic paint with custom airbrush work and flames. This pairs perfectly with custom Silver top which drastically changes up the look of the car. Not everyone is a fan of tops on T Buckets but this one is sure to change you mind because it really looks great on the car plus if you do get caught out in bad weather it will keep you dry until you get home. The tall windshield helps break the wind and makes the car more comfortable to drive. The frame is all powder coated Black to match with the drop axle and front end components being chrome. The car rides on 15inch Convo Pro Wheels with smooth walled wide tires mounted in back. Powering the car is a 331 c.i. small block Chevy motor that was really well built. The dual due to the 2x4 cross ram intake create an extremely tough look that always catches peoples attention. The motor has a ton of chrome and the finned valve covers finish it off nicely. The ceramic coated headers look great and create a great sound that is sure to let them know you are coming. Behind the motor is a Turbo 350 automatic transmission with 3500 stall that moves through the gears with ease and sends power back to the positraction Ford 9 inch rear end with 3.73 gears. The car clearly has no problem speeding down the road and stopping is just as easy with 4 wheel disc brakes. Other nice features include the 10 gallon aluminum fuel cell and Optima battery. The trend with a lot of T Buckets is to create an awesome exterior, powerful motor and then completely ignore the interior. Well that is not the case here. The upholstery work is very nicely done in a roll pleated Black and Silver two tone that looks really sharp. The carpeting is Black and in great condition. The dash is painted to match the body and topped with custom pinstriping and airbrushing. White faced Autometer gauges are nicely framed in a billet bezel and all work properly. A polished tilt column sits in front of the driver and is fitted with a very cool Silver metal flake steering wheel. The shifter is routed through the floor and topped off with a polished skull shifter knob. Make this extremely nice T Bucket yours for $47,200.00!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
