1923 Ford T-Bucket Supercharged

Description

This 1923 Ford is one of the wildest T-buckets you'll ever see. This custom build has a slick old-school style and the unmistakable look of serious dual-quad supercharged power leading the way. So it's amazing this street-eating machine is also so affordable.

Open engine, open cockpit, upright windshield, side carriage lights, and a short deck out back - we all instantly recognize the famous shape that launched the custom car revolution. But this one also has something more going for it. The Dark Toreador Red is one of those perfect vibrant and aggressive tones, and the way the metallic radiates from the darker tones makes this look like a cherry Tootsie Pop (so it's a candy-coated hot rod.) This was done around 2010, but the full fiberglass body has been treated with good care to put much newer finishes to shame. Extra skinny tires up front on true wire wheels, extra wide Mickey Thompson tires in the rear, and a wheelie bar on the back make this T-bucket look like it was at the birth of drag racing. It all means that this roadster is impressive for far more than just its shining chrome and awesome V8.

The interior is a true classic T-bucket experience with plenty of thoughtful style added in, too. It's pure retro-cool with a diamond-stitch upholstery pattern, an upright steering column, four-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a dash dominated by Stewart Warner readouts. But what you'll really love is the fresh and thoughtful style. The upholstery is fresh and supple leather done in 2021, and it gives this classic individual bucket seats. The plush red carpet matches the exterior. And those who come in for a closer look will love the white carpeting piping and red contrast stitching around the sides that tell you this was thoughtful down to the details.

An engine like this deserves to be on display for everyone to see. It's a shining marvel that's also made for serious power, and yes, even the block was painted to match the car. This is a 350 cubic-inch motor that has performance upgrades like dual Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors and a Weiand 4-71 blower with ten percent underdrive. And the engine was built to handle this supercharged power. It was enhanced and fortified with Eagle forged flat-top pistons, Eagle forged I-beam connecting rods, ARP bolts, an Eagle crank, a Howards hydraulic camshaft, Howards lifters, King Racing bearings, Comp Cams rockers, Manley Performance valves, and a Melling oil pump. It fires up with an awesome whirl and rumble that makes this roadster so special. And you get full control over it all thanks to the newer T-10 four-speed manual transmission with McLeod hydraulic clutch and McLeod flywheel. The undercarriage is just as fresh as the rest of this build, and it showcases the desirable components like the ladder bar rear, rear coilovers, and four-wheel disc brakes. And the modern tires work with the well-done suspension to deliver a solid feeling that continues well above legal speeds.

We have a full spec sheet breaking down the details and investments made in this T-bucket that make it such an awesome roadster. This one is fun to look at, always attracts attention, and scorches the blacktop with its power. That makes for an awesome classic T-bucket that you'd expect to pay a ton more to take home.
