Ford T-Bucket 305 CID V8 1923
General description :
This 1923 Ford Roadster is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. The Ford Roadster has long been one of the staples in the Street rod market. This example looks like it was taken straight out of the 1960s. The paint is slick with a lot of flake as well as some detailed airbrushing that really extenuates the lines of this beauty. With the fenders being something not often seen on these beauties, they add a custom touch to this cool rod. The wheels on this car look great with the chrome really helping to tie the whole package together. Sticking between the frame rails is one of the best engines to come out of Detroit. The small block 305 in this beast has plenty of power to get this rod down the road. The old school bug catcher as they were called back then not only looks cool but helps to direct air down to the Barrel carb. The TH350 transmission complements the engine perfectly with it shifting through all 3 gears as it should. Mated up to a Ford 8 Inch that has a great set of highway gears this rod can easily go down the road at highway speed. The interior of this rod is blacked out with the vinyl from the bench seat flowing into the black carpet. The gauges in the dash allow you to monitor the vitals while driving this custom down the road. The black removable top looks great in the car but was made to be removed in case you want the full effect of what a true roadster is. If you are looking for a great rod that is a blast to drive, you should give this one a double take. Options on this Ford Roadster include, Options on this 1923 Ford Roadster includes Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior and Custom Wheels with Radial Tires.

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.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
