General description :
1923 Ford Custom T Bucket When it comes to old street rods you are going to have a hard time finding something more raw and tough looking than a T Bucket. These cars are all motor and proudly display their power for the world to see. This T bucket is based on a 1923 Ford and was nicely built with a lot of top of the line components. It is set up to be driven comfortably while looking great the whole time. The body is coated in a nice Red paint as is the frame. The tall stacked windshield utilizes a chrome frame with chrome support bars. Chrome headlights are found up front with round taillights nicely mounted to the rear. You can't have a car like this running around on skinny wheels so Weld Racing wheels are found throughout with wide Mickey Thompson tires in the back. Those fat tires aren't just for looks though because the 355 c.i. small block Chevy motor has no problem getting them to spin. It has been fitted with aluminum heads, a 2x4 tunnel ram, dual four barrel Edelbrock carburetors and a scoop up top. It has also been fitted with a lot of chrome and stainless steel headers. The car has a great sound and when it starts up you can tell there is some horsepower there. The motor is backed by a 350 automatic transmission with 3000 stall converter and a Chevy 10 bolt rear end with 3.42 gears. To make sure you stay on the ground a chrome wheelie bar was added in back. The car has a coil over suspension system on it and rides down the road well for a T Bucket. The electrical system is all functioning properly and the car is fitted with an Optima battery. The interior has been kept pretty simple with a Black rolled pleated seats and a Red dash. The seat has bucket style bottoms with a bench style back. On the dash you will find white face Autometer gauges in an aluminum bezel and a tilt steering column. The shifter is routed through the floor and topped off with a skull shifter knob. The rear trunk portion has been upholstered with matching Black and opens up to reveal the aluminum fuel cell. If your ready to start tearing up the streets in a T Bucket of your very own this is definitely one to check out! Get it for less than it would cost to build at only $29,500.00!

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.
