Seller's comments about 1923' Ford Model T

1923 Ford Model T T Bucket For consignment, a 1923 Ford Model T T Bucket with a title verified 7,196 actual miles and a hot rod engine that includes aluminum heads and an Offenhauser intake. Great chrome, great paint, and a canvas top help create one wild, good looking ride. Exterior The open wheel frame sets the front tires ahead of the grille and headlights and the exposed engine looks like its floating on air while sending high rise tunnels up and over the grille and within the sightline of the driver. The bucket itself is painted Black Cherry and depending on the light, both black and cherry come to the forefront. As an extra bonus, a pinup doll decal augmenting the body along with pink and teal pinstriping. Tuck and roll patterned tan vinyl covers the gas tank in back and tan blends with that of the canvas top with its round plastic window, all in good shape. 15-inch Weld DragLite wheels of drastically different width are fantastic additions to the collection of polished metal that can be seen throughout, including on the winged motometer that tops the shell of the aluminum radiator below. Imperfections include some scratches on the top edge of a faux door where it meets interior material, numerous other scratches, some touched up, and a few small holes in the canvas top. Interior Vinyl covered pontoons line the bucket edge and connect to the bench seat, also tan vinyl and in great condition. The typical T-bucket upright steering wheel rises from the floor in front of a tidy dash, body colored and housing a series of white faced, metal rimmed Classic Instruments gauges. On the floor, a billet shifter is also simple and clean and surrounded by brown loop mats. Aside from a visible zip tie and some wires or two, the interior is clean and minimalistic. Drivetrain Out front we have the lead actor in this show, a 350ci V8 with plenty of polished metal including the fantastic headers reaching out like tentacles to the side. An Offenhauser intake rises to accept two QuickFuel 4-barrel carburetors and everything climbs a bit higher with the Weiand type air scoop. FlowTek aluminum heads are on board, lightening things up a bit, and a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission sends power to the Ford 9 in the back. Disc brakes are up front and very visible, while drums are tucked in the back, a bit more discreetly. Undercarriage Its all clean underneath with no panels or belly pans to hide the inner workings of the car, so wires, linkage, and components are all visible. It looks like some LED lights are underneath as well for a bit of nighttime fun. No dirt or grease build up however we do note some drops on the rear diff and on the transmission pan, which is a dress up piece in polished metal. A chromed transverse leaf spring is up front and a four bar arrangement with coilovers are in back. Drive-Ability If a dragster, an amusement park ride, and a Naugahyde booth as a steakhouse had a baby, it would be this T-bucket. Its such a classically American invention that they will forever be cool. And, they are all loud, this one not excluded. It rolls straight with more power than wed like to apply, but rest assured, this light vehicle has big power. Ultimately, its a cruiser and performs well on the test loop with all functional items working as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. These were the original hot rods. The original resto-mods and the ultimate in cool rides. Nerds dont ride these, these are Fonzie, not Richie Cunningham. Elvis, not Perry Como. Hells Angels, not Charlies Angels. If youre in the market for a T-bucket, this one absolutely has to be on your radar.
