Ford T-Bucket 265 V8 1923

General description : 1923 Ford T-Bucket Based on the Model T, T-Buckets have to be one of the earliest examples of hot rodding.  These cars have been a staple in the classic car world for decades and continue to be popular.  They really are hotrodding at its finest.  Big exposed motors and wide back tires let you know they mean business.  This 23 T has a great old school look and was built right.  You see a lot of these riding around with glass bodies but this one is true 23 Ford Model T steel.  The body is solid and looks great painted in a Metallic light Blue.  It features chrome headlights with eyebrows up front and in back are the very cool 1923 taillight housings that have been fitted with custom lenses.  It has the tall style windshield up front in the original chrome frame.  The radiator shell is also 1923 Ford and is all chrome.  The front wheels are 12 spoke Radir wheels with deep offset aluminum slots in back.  This is the period correct look and they are wrapped with Mickey Thompson street slick tires.  When you have an exposed motor like this it better be looking good which is exactly the case.  It is powered by a 265 V8 out of a 55 Corvette and chromed out all over.  From the scoop up top to the oil and transmission pan this thing is almost all chrome.  The motor was completely rebuilt and upgraded with a performance cam.  Other nice features on the motor include the polished distributer, electronic ignition, Flamethrower coil, Weiand intake, polished 12 volt generator and ceramic coated headers with side pipes.  It has 4 Stromberg carburetors for the look but only 1 is plumbed to help with gas mileage.  Backing the motor is a 2 speed powerglide transmission that sends power back to the 8 1/2 inch rear end which is also out of a 55 Corvette.  The car has a 6 inch deep tubular axle up front and the suspension utilizes coil springs with boggy leaf springs in back.  There are zero heating issues and it has a 3 core radiator with extra brass tank on top.  Sitting in the rear bed is a spun aluminum 11 gallon gas tank which looks great.    The interiors on these cars are usually kept pretty simple but this one features things like the spun aluminum dash bezel which really sets it apart.  The Black gauges go all the way across the dash and there is a Sun tachometer on the column.  The tall shifter is a must have on a car like this and it is topped off with a very cool shifter knob.  The upholstery work is done in grey vinyl and is in good condition.  This car has a great look and a lot of very cool features that really give it that old school feel.  Even better is it is being offered up for a great price! This T-Bucket is being offered up at the very affordable $17,500.00!

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.

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