Ford T-Bucket 440 V8 1926

Allmän beskrivning : MOPAR 440 V8, LONGTUBE HEADERS, 4BBL, TORQUEFLIGHT, CUSTOM PAINT, LOTS OF FUN!!

Like it or not, the T-Bucket is back in a big way. There's surely a reason why we can't keep them in stock, and when they're as nice as this 1923 T, we're quite certain one of you traditional hot rod guys will grab this one up in the next few weeks, too.
The look is perhaps the most instantly-recognizable hot-rod of all time, equal parts cartoon and serious performance threat, and the abbreviated Model T roadster pickup body has a few styling cues to let you know its origins. Painted in bright red with cool vintage '70s airbrush work, this one stands out simply because it looks like it was there when it all started. The paint shines reasonably well and while it's not show-quality, it's quite presentable and does nothing to diminish the fun that the T-bucket represents. It's got a clean, simple, no-nonsense look, as if the essence of the minimalist T-bucket was bared down even farther, leaving just the basics. You'll note the front end was stretched a bit to handle the big block Chrysler V8 and there's a familiar Model T radiator shell out front. Out back, the abbreviated pickup "bed" has been finished with a pseudo tonneau cover, and the mural back there is a familiar glimpse into what makes this hobby so great.
The interior is, of course, minimalist, but the black pleated vinyl is durable enough to survive out in the elements. I suppose it's technically a bench, but it, too, is minimalist, and you'll have to brace yourself to stay planted behind the Grant GT 4-spoke steering wheel. A full complement of instruments in the dashboard show you what's going on up front (well, the things you can't see, anyway), and a slightly raked column makes for a far more comfortable driving position than most T-buckets. You'll also spot a driver's door, which makes getting in a lot easier than most Ts and even the stripes wrap into the jambs, so this paint job wasn't a cheap one back in the day. There is no stareo to overcome the side pipes so you'll have to get used to running alfresco and there is no top. That's the T-bucket way.
A 440 cubic inch Chrysler V8 provides motive power, and since it's out in the open like that, the 440 is dressed up for show. Finned Mickey Thompson valve covers are a traditional touch matched by a towering scoop-style air cleaner and a block painted black to match the chassis, so it blends right in. There's a mild cam inside, an Holley 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake, and those long-tube headers and side pipes that are part of the T's DNA, so it runs well enough to need all that rubber out back. A quick-shifting TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic drives a narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end, which shrugs off the big block's torque. The front suspension uses a dropped I-beam front axle and a leaf spring to hang it waaaay out there, giving the T a rather sleek look. Shiny Cragar mag wheels look vintage and wear traditional skinnies up front and giant track-style meats out back.
Hot rodding has evolved, but the T-bucket remains a constant. Perhaps that's why people like them so much. At the very least, I can guarantee this one will always put a smile on your face. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
