1923 MODEL T BUCKET HOT ROD

1923 Ford Model T

HI I AM SELLING MY 23 TBUCKET. I BOUGHT THIS ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND BOUGHT IT AS PART OF A PACKAGE. I AM KEEPING THE OTHER CAR TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION. I WANT TO START BY SAYING I AM NOT AN EXPERT IN THIS CAR AND WILL DO MY BEST TO PROPERLY DESCRIBE IT. ANYONE WHO CAN ADD TO ITS DESCRIPTION I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU. I WOULD NOT BE OFFENDED IF YOU EMAILED ME. THIS CAR WAS OBVIOUSLY PROFESSIONALY BUILT. I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE DONE TO THIS EXTENT. IT STARTS RIGHT UP. I HAVE DRIVEN IT LOCALLY MANY TIMES AND ITS RELLY COOL. I DONT HAVE THE GUTS TO GO DOWN HIGHWAYS WITH IT, AS I GUESS I HAVE GOTTEN MORE APPREHENSIVE WITH AGE. THE ENGINE BAY IS ALL CHROME AND YOU CAN EAT OFF IT. THE ENGINE IS POWERFUL AND THERE IS NO SMOKE, UNUSUAL NOISES AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS. THE BLOCK IS STAMPED 355909. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE BETWEEN A 1976-1979 GM SMALL BLOCK. IT HAS A B & M BLOWER THAT IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. THE BOOST GAGE IS ON THE DASH AND ITS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. THE TRANS IS A 2 SPEED POWERGLIDE. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS 3863192. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR UP TO 50MPH SEVERAL TIMES. THERE IS NO JUMPING INTO GEAR OR UNUSUAL NOISES. THE REAR IS A GM 10 BOLT. IT IS STAMPED L1178. I HAVE ALSO LET THIS RUN OVER EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME AND THE TEMP GAGE STAY HALF WAY SO THERE ARE NOT HEATING ISSUES. ALL THE PANS AND STARTER AND ANYTHING ELSE ON THE UNDERSIDE HAS BEEN CHROMED. THE FIRE WALL IS ALSO CHROMED. THE FRONT DISC BRAKES ARE CHROMED AS WELL.
THE PAINT IS AMAZING. YOU CAN SEE THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT PUT INTO THIS CAR INCLUDING THE PAINT. ALL THE FRAME RAILS AND PART OF THE UNDERSIDE WAS PROFESSIONALLY PAINTED AS WELL TO MATCH. THERE IS ALOT OF DEPTH IN THE PAINT AS WELL. THERE IS NOT A CHIP OR SCRATCH ANYWHERE. THE GRAPHICS ARE NOT DECALS AS THEY ARE ALSO PAINTED AND DONE EXTREMLEY WELL. THERE IS NOT EVEN A LIP ON THEM. THE ATTENTIOIN TO DETAIL IS CRAZY. THE TOP IS NEW AS THIS CAR WAS COMPLETLEY FINISHED 6 MONTHS AGO. THERE IS NOT A SPOT ON IT. THE FIT IS PERFECT. ALL THE BODY TABS LINE UP PERFECT. THE TIRES ARE NEW AS THE REAR TIRES ARE MICKEY THOMPSONS AND THE FRONT ARE KELLY. THE WHEELS ARE NEW AS WELL AND THEY ARE WELD RACING WHEELS. I FOUND A TAG THAT SAYS BRIGGS MFG. CO DETROIT MI. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE MFG OF THE BODY BUT NOT 100% SURE.
THE INTERIOR AS YOU CAN SEE IS IMMACULANT. THE SEATS AND DOOR PANELS WERE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL SHOP AND THE ARE GREAT. THEY ALSO DID THE LID ON THE BACK THAT COVERS THE FUEL CELL AND THE CARPET. THE DASH: I BELIEVE TO BE WALNUT AND IT IS GEORGOUS. THE GAGES ARE ALL PRODUCED BY AUTO METER MFG. THEY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING GAGES; BOOOST, RPM, MPH, WATER TEMP, OIL TEMP, FUEL AND VOLTS. THEY ALL WORK AS THEY SHOULD EXCEPT THE FUEL GAGE. THE DASH LITES WORK AS WELL. THE STEERING WHEEL IS A BILLIT. WHEN YOU PUSH DOWN ON IT, IT COMPRESSES ALITTLE AS I GUESS IT WILL ACCOMMODATE A BIGGER PERSON OR IS PREVENTION NOT TO BEND THE WHEEL WHEN YOU GET IN. I DONT KNOW WHO MAKES THE COLUMM. THE WINDSHIELD IS A 2 PIECE AND IT FOLDS IN THE MIDDLE. ALL OF THE LITES WORK WELL INCLUDING THE STOP LITES AND TURN SIGNALS. THE OOGA HORN IS ALSO CHROMED AND WORKS LOUD.
AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE LAST INTERIOR PICTURE THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AN EMERGENCY BRAKE AND AN EMERGENCY CUT OFF CABLE. I HAVE TESTED BOTH, AND THEY BOTH WORK.
AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICTURES THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION AND TORSION BARS ARE CHROMED. I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM BUT THEY LOOK EXTENSIVE. THE REAR SUSPENSION HAS COIL OVERS AND I SUSPECT THIS TOOK ALOT OF WORK. THE REAR SUSPENSION HAS 2 SETS OF SPRINGS ON BOTH SIDES. THE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS CHROMED SHOCK ABSORBERS AS WELL.
THERE ARE WHEELIE BARS ON THE BACK AND I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THEM. I ASSUME THEY ARE FUNCTIONABLE BUT REALLY THERE FOR LOOKS MORE THEN ANYTHING ELSE. THE BUNDERSIDE OF THE CAR IS AS AMAZING AS THE UPPERSIDE OF THE CAR.
I HAVE MANY MORE PICTURES OF THE CAR. I ALSO HAVE SEVERAL RUNNING VIDEOS OF THE CAR. IN ADDITION I HAVE SEVERAL WALK AROUND VIDEOS OF THE CAR.
