1923 Ford Model T-Bucket – A Classic Hot Rod Beauty

This 1923 Ford T-Bucket exemplifies the essence of classic hot rodding with its power and simplicity. Having only 1,200 miles since completion, this vehicle is primarily a show car and proudly showcases the spirit of the ’50s greasers with its custom-built elegance. The body is adorned in a striking gloss Red paint with Black pinstriping, capturing attention at every angle. This particular T-Bucket features a short pickup bed style, housing a custom fuel cell with a chrome latching cap under a sleek pleated Black cover.

The vehicle’s aesthetics are further enhanced by a Red-painted radiator shell complementing a polished chrome grill, rounded chrome headlights, and flush-mounted tail lights, all functioning flawlessly. Instead of the typical two-piece windshield, this T-Bucket boasts a distinctive single-piece windshield mounted in a chrome frame. Its standout presence is further supported by Weld Racing wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires (15 inches in diameter, with 29×18.00R15LT rear tires), perfectly suited to this classic build.

Power and Performance

Under the hoodless design, a 350 V8 engine takes center stage, highlighted by chrome components and a prominent scoop air cleaner. The engine features a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, delivering impressive performance with a throaty roar through dual headers. The presence of side pipes enhances its classic hot rod charm. The exposed chrome suspension and steering components, including a drop axle and front leafs, showcase impeccable craftsmanship. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with adjustable coil overs, a 4-link suspension, and disc brakes at the front, complemented by rear drum brakes.

Interior and Comfort

Inside, the vehicle features a Black upholstered interior with a bench seat and rear bolster, providing comfort and style. The automatic shifter is seamlessly integrated through the floor, enabling smooth transitions between gears. The dash, painted in matching Red, holds a complete set of Equus gauges, including a tachometer, ensuring the driver stays informed of the car’s performance. A polished column and a Grant GT steering wheel complete the authentic hot rod driving experience.

With a clean title and its loyal following, this 1923 Ford T-Bucket represents a rich history and an opportunity to own a significant piece of automotive tradition. Explore this classic beauty and consider adding it to your collection while it remains available!
