Ford T-Bucket 327 V8 1927

Allmän beskrivning : NICE RUNNING T-BUCKET, WELL BUILT 327CI CHEVY, TH400, DOORS ON BOTH SIDES, COOL!

The T-bucket is making a big comeback as guys embrace the retro-rod phenomenon, but instead of a modern re-creation of a timeless classic, how about a slick 1927 T-bucket that was actually built in-period? For fans of the anything-goes period in the late-60s, this is a wild trip in a very cool WayBack Machine. Under that brilliant yellow paint, there's a neatly modified Model T pickup that has the classic T-bucket look. There's a lot more work here than you'd expect at first glance; just look at the distinct angle of the cab that continues the rake of the bodywork, while the bed is almost horizontal. It gives the car an exaggerated race stance that doesn't detract from its streetability and looks awesome from any angle. Finish quality is quite good, but as you'd expect of a car with a little history behind it, there are a few signs of use. On the other hand, this car has features none of the fiberglass repros can offer, including real doors that open and a cowl vent that makes for pleasant cruising on the hottest days. A Model T grille shell and track-style headlights give it a bare-bones racer vibe. The interior is also a tribute to the 1970s-style build, with pleated vinyl that covers the bench seat and door panels, and despite the unusual dimensions, it's comfortable enough to cruise the fairgrounds without complaint. Refinished wood floors give it an intentional home-built look and the nicely made dashboard carries a set of retro-looking gauges that are a lot newer than the rest of the car. The steering column actually hangs at a comfortable angle, unlike so many of the other T-buckets you've looked at which have tillers like a city bus. The floor-mounted shifter is pure T-bucket whimsy with its grinning shifter knob and I'm afraid that if you want creature comforts like A/C or a radio, this just isn't the car for you. Heck, there's not even a roof! Power comes from a mid-60s 327 cubic inch Chevy V8, the weapon of choice for a lot of hot rod builders of the time. With a 650 CFM 4-barrel carburetor under that velocity-stack-like air cleaner, it has plenty of pull and it's certainly been built for show. Chrome valve covers, alternator, and other dress-up parts give you plenty of eye candy, which is important since it's all out there for the world to see. Traditional long-tube headers and side pipes are a T-bucket standard, with these wrapped in heat tape to not only protect onlookers, but to add to the vintage performance look. Backed by a stout TH400 3-speed automatic and a narrowed '57 Chevy rear end, it's fairly period-correct, although the recently-installed coil-over suspension probably isn't, although it makes a huge difference in terms of ride quality and handling and the car was set up right. The front end is still a solid axle with a buggy spring, but front disc brakes ensure that it's safe on the road. Classic Weld aluminum wheels look like they belong on the track and carry skinny 26x6-15 fronts and giant 29x18.5-15 rear tires. Retro-rods are red hot, and nothing says retro quite like a T-bucket. With this one, you get all the fun of the outrageous T with a nice helping of history on the side. 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.
