Selling my 23 T Bucket project. I've been collecting parts for this for over 10 years and I just don't have the room to store it anymore so its time to let it go. Here is a list of what is included-
Fiberglass T Bucket body with short bed glassed to tub. Plywood floor is glassed in already and body is channeled over frame rails. Body is pretty old and dirty and has some dings in the gelcoat but should finish up nice. Has an older chrome windshield frame in fair condition and a new spun aluminum gas tank in the bed.
Frame is a professionally built and made from 2x4 box tubing. Currently has a late 40's Ford truck axle in front and a late 70's Bronco Dana 44 rear axle in back. Axles are mocked up as a roller to move the car. Both have drum brakes that will need rebuilt. Has a reversed Corvair steering box and linkages to hook it up. Has older 70's style chrome wheels with new but older Dunlop tires that are in nice shape.
Also have a full chrome front and rear suspension setup with Carerra coil overs and a chrome leaf spring in front. Axle for this setup is a chrome tube style and I have 53 Chevy Bel Air spindles for it with a new kingpin kit to install them. No brakes with this setup but disc brake kits are readily available for the Bel Air spindles.
Motor is a good rebuildable Chevy 350 with a 4160 Holley carb and older Weiand stealth manifold in fair condition but useable. I pulled one of the heads on the motor to check the bore and it is nice. Will probably need gone through but is a great core to start with. Has older chrome valve covers and some chrome dress up parts for the front drive. Also have a new timing chain set for it.
Trans is an older turbo 400 and was rebuilt in the 80's and never used. Should be good to go since its been inside since it was rebuilt. Also have a short drive shaft to hook it up to the Dana 44.
Set of chrome long tube T Bucket headers that are new but will need polished from sitting. They should clean up really nice though.
Have some wiring and a set of headlights in fair condition that should work good. Also some other small light parts too.
Brand new Walker T Bucket radiator with a 23 fiberglass grille shell and electric fan. Also a polished overflow tank and a repro Boyce Motometer cap that is new and nice.
A decent set of fiberglass fenders. One is slightly warped from storage but will straighten out nice when mounted. They are pretty old and I don't know if they even make these anymore.
Also a whole box of miscellaneous small parts and brackets, shifters, brake parts, and lots of nuts and bolts.
If you have been looking to build one of these you know how much it costs just to get this many parts together. My starting price is less than half of what it would cost to buy this stuff new. Car is located outside Cleveland Ohio at my shop if you would like to set up an appointment to see it. Car would probably fit in the back of a long bed truck or a 10' or longer trailer. I can't ship it though due to the amount of loose parts. Car does not have a title since it is considered a kit car but I will provide winning bidder with a detailed bill of sale for titling purposes. $500 deposit through Paypal due within 24 hours of auction end. Car must be picked up and paid in full within 7 days of auction end. No reserve so winning bid takes it home!

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city
Sat, Aug 16 2014Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says
Fri, Jun 5 2015The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.
