1923 Ford T Bucket Street Rod
You are bidding on an original T Bucket that was built back in 1964, with a Kenison fiberglass body. When I was growing up in the 60’s I was always involved with
custom Rods. I always wanted to do a T Bucket. In the later part of my life I
found this T that was built in 1964. I purchased it and did a complete
restoration every bolt and nut was removed. It took almost two years to
complete. The body is painted with a burgundy and is as straight as an arrow;
only the best paint was used with two coats of paint and four coats of clear
coat. Every piece was painted and primered individually on this T Bucket. It
has a brand new 1968--327 Chevy Corvette engine 280 horse power. The interior
is $100.00 a yard leather that was installed by a professional upholstery shop.
It was built on a Model A frame with a 1957 It has a new rebuilt Chevy 350 turbo transmission; new drive shaft; new kickdown cable. It has a Eldelbrock 600 CFM Carburetor with an electric chock that is rebuilt; has an Eldelbrock Torque II intake manifold. It has new front tires and rims; new front disc brake conversion kit/chevy bolt pattern; new front I-beam axle; new gauges and wire harness from Speedway Motors; new fiberglass dash from Speedway Motors, new rear shocks; new master cylinder and brake lines; new rear brake cylinders; new tie-rod ends on steering linkage; new B & M shifter; new fuel line with electric old school fuel pump.
It has 50 miles since the complete restoration.
Can you imagine taking this to a car show, which is a real trophy winner and telling the people that this was built back in the 60’s with all the history this T has. A close friend of mine that works on custom rods and I rebuilt this T-Bucket. The Kenison body is built so much better than the current body that you purchase today and it has all the old school look. I feel you will never find another T Bucket that was built like this one was in the 60’s.
You could never build this T-Bucket for what I have on the reserve today. Who ever purchases this I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. When you make your bid, know you are bidding with confidence that you are bidding on a great T-Bucket. I am semi-retired and since I am retiring to Florida my better half says I need to downsize.
If you have any questions concerning this pickup please call Dave @ 4028902726. I do not accept text message. If you need references just let me know.
This if you need this T-Bucket delivered to your doorstep I have a friend that can put it on Central Dispatch for the best rate for delivery.
I have the right to end the auction at any. Concerning payment, $500.00 paid through PayPal within 24 hours and the rest by certified check, no later than 5 business days. If you do not plan on paying for this T Bucket please do not bid and make it easier on both of us. |

Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
Production of Shelby GT350 is coming to an end
Fri, 26 Jul 2013One Autoblog staffer who drove the limited-edition Shelby GT350 wrote it probably was the best Mustang he'd driven, but, at some point, the fun had to come to an end: December 31 is the last day the GT350 will be available to order.
The GT350's option list has evolved much like it did for the original 1965-67 GT350. For 2011, the 45th Anniversary edition only came in coupe form and was painted white with blue stripes, just as with the 1965 car. The 2012 GT350 was offered as a coupe or convertible, and three colors were added to the option list, just like the 1966 model. For 2013, more colors and options were added in addition to equipment and styling updates, which resulted in Wilwood instead of Baer brakes. No major changes were made for the 2014 model. From the first car in 2011, customers have been able to choose between three different configurations for their 5.0-liter V8: naturally aspirated with 440 horsepower, supercharged with 525 hp (with warranty) or supercharged with 624 hp (without warranty).
"When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value," states John Luft, president of Shelby American. He may have a point, because the original GT350, which also had a limited production run, is among the most valuable muscle cars in the world.
