1924 Ford T-Bucket Roadster

Description

The original hot rod is still just a wild and affordable as ever. This 1924 Ford T-Bucket gets all the iconic pieces right, but it still goes for individual style with a slick custom flame paintjob and a supercharged V8 that's leading the way.

There aren't many folks out there who fail to recognize the T-Bucket's famous shape: open engine, open cockpit, upright windshield, and a stubby deck out back – all of which have been part of the formula since day one. It has that great raked appearance that looks like excessive speed has pushed back every component on the frame. And with the size of those massive rear tires, that tale is not hard to believe. Burgundy is the perfect color for this original-style hot rod. It's dark enough than the flames running down the sides can easily be seen. Best of all, it really helps bring out the chrome in everything from the side carriage lights, to the Cragar wheels. Like most T-Buckets today, this is built on a fiberglass tub, but the quality is so good that when you race by onlookers, they will think you really did cut up a genuine Model T.

Minimalism is the word when you get into a T-Bucket, and this one does it right. The red and white bench seat has some separation for better individual comfort than what's often seen in these hot rods. Plus, the vinyl provides the kind of durability that means you don't have to worry about it being outside. But any time you're truly concerned about letting the sunshine in, there's a folding top that's easy to remove. The driver gets a glossy wood three-spoke steering wheel, and the dash houses a full set of Dolphin gauges. This is framed by some cool custom pinstriping, so be prepared for plenty of people to ogle your roadster's interior at the car shows.

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. In fact, the 350 cubic-inch V8 might require sunglasses if you're going to be looking at it all the time. All the polished components (air grabber, radiator, valve covers, hoses, etc.) radiating from the front is pure intimidation. Beyond its great looks are upgraded components like a Mallory ignition system, electric fan, and a Quick Fuel 750 CFM four-barrel carburetor. Oh yeah, and you might have also noticed the Dyer 671 supercharger so boldly resting on top of the block. Plus, we know you love those side pipes with how they boldly they exit this V8, and they make a thunderous roar that will make people stand at attention long before they see you. You'll also love showing off the suspension with the tubular front axle on a transverse leaf spring front, and the adjustable coilover four-link rear. Plus, the three-speed automatic transmission and front disc brakes makes getting down the road easy.

This one is exciting to drive, fun to look at, and always attracts attention. The classic T-Bucket remains the most fun per dollar you can have with a hot rod. Call today!!
