This is the classic ultimate barn find. A very well built '23 T Bucket from the early 70's judging by the build. Must have been a very high dollar car in it's day. I actually purchased it just for the engine that I am going to run "as is" in my old school gasser. It had a high performance early model 454 in it with real Chevrolet factory 1968 L-88 aluminum heads on it. It now has a very low mileage ( 17,000 miles ), great running, and freshly painted, but basically stock,1982 big block 454 Chevy in it. It is running a great shifting 400 Turbo and single track 12 bolt rear end. It is still faster than you want to go in a car this light. It still lifts the front left tire off of the ground when the pedal is hit hard, and absolutely fries the right rear tire. It has the old school Buick finned aluminum brake drums on all 4 corners. Stops great. Old style 4 link rear end suspension with coil springs and chrome shocks. Front suspension is old school also. Drives, stops, and steers great. The body must have been a high dollar one also. Very thick fiberglass with working passenger door. No stress cracks anywhere. The paint is in awesome shape too. It definitely withstood the test of time with very little, if any, wear and chips. The frame is even pin stripped underneath the body. The interior also must have been very expensive in it's day, but it is showing signs of wear and repair. All gauges work including the speedometer and odometer. I was told the 10,000 miles it shows is actual mileage. From the car's overall condition, I'd say it is accurate. Old school headlights. '32 Ford steel grille shell cut down to fit. Vintage windshield frame. The shifter is the only item that I think was updated until I switched engines around. The steering column could use one of those modern day braces, but it never had one before and lived thru it. The brake pedal could also use a return spring, but never had one of those either. Car runs very cool with an electric fan. The cloth top and frame is in very good shape, but it looks much cooler with the top removed. The tires are old bias ply wide white walls. Decent tread, but I would replace them before I took any long trips, because I have no idea how old they are. They are not all cracked up though.  


All in all, this is a very cool old vintage hot rod T Bucket that looks great just the way it is, and it still handles great too. 

You will be a hit at all of the shows because it is so different than the other more modern T's that you see.   


Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. I will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear my bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. My bank will give me a letter stating the date when the check will clear. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Again, my bank will let me know when it clears. Cash is great if picking it up in person. Call me at 314-732-592five to get honest answers to all of your questions BEFORE YOU BID.

No trades, no giving out the reserve price, no adding a buy it now price, and low ball offers, please do not ask. Thanks, Dave

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.

Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company

Thu, 03 Oct 2013



That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.

First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
