Ford T-Bucket 355 CID V8 1926
General description :
For sale at Gateway Classic Cars in our St. Louis showroom is a 1926 Ford T-Bucket Roadster. This one has received some very special attention for our very special troops that put their lives on the line for our freedom. The Blazing Black metallic paint looks great. Making it better, the custom air brushed patriotic tribute to our troops. And there's more than just the air brushing. The engine bay has red, white and blue LED lights, the license plate surround also has LED lights and within the original license plate area (new license plate bracket beneath the rear) also has a cut out of a soldier taking a knee for a fallen soldier. The airbrushing on the sides is of a fallen soldier with Red, White and Blue American Flag angel wings. One more detail is the gauges cluster. It also features the Red, White and Blue American flag wings that fit quite well with the gauges. The mechanicals of the T Bucket include a built 355 with a Tunnel Ram intake topped with dual Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetors. Power is sent through a TH 350 automatic transmission and back to a Ford 9 inch rear with 3.50:1 rear gears. Plenty enough go for this lightweight! Occasionally, you'll need to slow down and Wilwood disc brakes with braided lines on all four corners make that easy. Up front is a set of inboard chrome shock absorbers and adjustable coil overs in the back. The body is a custom 1/4 fiberglass body from Olsie Street Rods in Pryor, OK. This one has more leg room than the typical T Bucket and an operable passenger door making entry and exit much easier. This is a 7 year build and has covered an estimated 5,000 miles.

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
