1926 Ford T-Bucket

Description

This is one of the wildest Ford T-buckets you'll ever see. This custom build has the most laid back sense of style (literally) and a thumpin' V8, which makes it the most interesting hot rod you can pick up for under $20K.

This custom T-bucket looks unique because it's set waaaaaay back from the front wheels. The chrome headlights are like lone dual pods hovering above the front axle. Then there's plenty of airspace before the radiator shows up. The chassis might not be any longer than other T-Buckets you've seen, but the effect is a stretched and streamlined appearance that looks like a Top Fuel Dragster for the streets. Plus, the deep burgundy paint and full metal wheels give this one a touch of class. As you look over the pictures, you might be wondering why this one looks so modern and fresh...well, that's because it was only built back in 2009.

Nothing goes better with burgundy than a tan interior, especially since everyone can see inside this cool custom build. This attention to detail is also why the removable hardtop matches the interior tan perfectly. When you step inside, you're greeted to a bench that's vastly more comfortable than what's found in many other hot rods. In fact, the whole interior feels downright plush. But this is a speed machine, not a complete coddler. So you get a no-nonsense three-spoke steering wheel, and beyond that is a full set of clear AutoMeter gauges. The package is completed with a tall gearshift that's always within reach.

If you're going to be spending all your time behind the wheel peering into the exposed engine bay, then it better be something as wild as this one. The 305 cubic-inch V8 is pure intimidation in its matte black appearance. The engine was built right less than 500 miles ago with tidy wiring and a Holley carburetor. Some might think it's sacrilegious to advertise so much Chevrolet on the valve covers and air cleaner in a Ford-style hot rod, but when it's as bulletproof as the small-block, we think this one can be as bold as it wants. And speaking of bold, you have to love seeing the long tube headers and side pipes. They make a thunderous roar that will make people stand at attention long before they see you. Getting down the road is easy with a coilover rear suspension and extra wide BF Goodrich rear tires griping the pavement. Plus, you have the ease of GM's trusty TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel disc brakes.

T-buckets are about a recipe, and this one has been baked to perfection with a few extra award-worthy ingredients. Call today!!!
