Seller's comments about 1924' Ford Model T

1925 Ford Model T T-Bucket For consignment, a rolling work of art in the form of a 1925 T-Bucket that is as much a car as it is an engine with some wheels and seating for two. This one has been skillfully built and is immaculate, showy, fast, and has won awards at the World Of Wheels show in Pittsburgh, PA in 2018 and 2019. If youve ever dreamed of owning a classic T-Bucket with a big block, this one provides a turnkey opportunity for some real fun! Exterior Lets start with a fiberglass bucket which is artfully painted with panels of violet patterning with flowing strips of white lace looking very much like your EKG will look when you step on the gas! The panels are backed by bright white paint, all this extending on to the trunk in back which houses the gas tank and battery. The frame rails, rear axle, rear leaf springs are deep purple and glossy. Everything else you can see is either chrome or polished metal including the frame of the vertical windshield and side mirrors. 15-inch American Racing Torque Thrust wheels support big tires, the backs are nearly twice as wide as the fronts...hot rod style! Big round headlights protrude off the frame and single round tail lights are embedded in the trunk. A classic radiator cap and Boyce Motometer top the vertical finned unit. Interior The bucket is lined in white diamond-stitched vinyl. A three spoke steering wheel is mounted on a chrome column and leads to a simple flat dash with a myriad of gauges in a purple and white background. The tall shifter is floor mounted and topped with a dark purple knob. The carpet is a plush purple that Prince would be proud of, and the drilled foot pedals are polished to a luster. Drivetrain The lead actor in this cavalcade of stars is a 454ci V8 that is fed by a single 4-barrel Holley Jet Performance carburetor mounted on an Edelbrock intake manifold. The TH350 3-speed automatic means you can ride with one arm on the wheel, and one arm hanging cool on the bucket. Drum brakes all around and a Ford 9-inch rear round out the specs. Visually, the finned valve covers are painted purple on the inserts and polished headers and side pipes take center stage. Undercarriage You had better get some long mirrors to bring to shows because youre going to want people to see this. It is indeed show quality underneath, from the painted rails and axles to the incredible polished oil pan, transmission pan, and shocks. The driveshaft is painted purple and the purple frame has a white line painted the length to pick up on the white/purple theme. Wow! Transverse leaf springs are found on both ends, polished/chrome in the front and purple in the back. Include polishing the undercarriage when it comes time to prep this car for shows, its that nice! Drive-Ability Keeping in mind the car is very light and the engine very big, we knew right away to baby this out of the stable. A pump of the gas and a turn of the key and the engine fired with a raucous bellow from the cavernous side pipes. Its one of those cars that yanks car specialists from their desks and into the back to see what all the commotion is about. That said, the car has obvious acceleration and with those big sidewalls, provides a decent ride. This is a fair weathered car of course, and the tall windshield does what it can to buffer the wind, but only a little better than a motorcycle. Youre out there and its a blast, feeling like a ride at Disney only faster, louder, and more exciting. We returned with frazzled hair and slightly white knuckled. This T-bucket is an E-ticket! Its obvious that this show winning car represents many hours of hard work and dedication and all that saves you from having to do the work and just enjoy the rewards. This is a stunning hot rod that can be proudly driven and shown or simply added to a collection for what it is, rolling art! If youve been waiting for the right T-Bucket, this one is worthy of consideration.
