1960’s VINTAGE California Build

‘37 Ford Flathead V8 / Dual Stromberg 97’s

 Classic Munster’s Style Hot Rod

...The early 60’s MUNSTERS TV Show helped popularize the early T-Bucket craze… this  60’s vintage built T-Bucket has the classic “Munster’s” LOOK” 

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!!… an “OLD SCHOOL” Los Angeles, California 1960’s built All Ford T-Bucket:                     ....1937 vintage flat-head V8, vintage Ford rear end & Ford 3-speed transmission.  Many vintage Ford racing parts used such as the Offenhauser Dual Carb aluminum intake & dual Stromberg 97 carbs...  vintage spindle racing wheels. All vintage gauges & lighting; 1920’s vintage gauges, vintage front & rear lights …

HISTORY: This was a vintage build “barn find” car that was located in an old warehouse on the outskirts of Los Angeles. It was built in the 1960’s using the Model A dropped spindle front vintage Model A custom frame with heavy duty chromed leaf springs & real vintage parts. You can see by photo underneath back end that this has had little usage over the years and still looks like new. This T-Bucket was known to cruise & terrorize the streets of LA, Hollywood & Santa Monica neighborhoods in its day. It was state inspected and street legalized in the late 70’s and is still licensed to its early 80’s vintage CA Vanity Plate “MYTBUCK” as a Special Vintage Class “Roadster”; registered vanity plate included. Car was put into long term storage of 25+ years, and was discovered and brought back to life several years ago. Last summer the V8 was not running smoothly. It was discovered that the old fuel tank had been internally coated with a material that dissolved over time with modern gas having alcohol additives. I ended up replacing the Stromberg 97 carbs. I also did a flathead Ford V8 more reliable coil conversion kit. I purchased a new Summit Racing fuel cell also. Not being a mechanic, I took the car to a noted local shop owner that I know that does vintage, classic car mechanical restorations. I was charged well below actual labor costs to get this car properly done & running strong! Here is a history of what I have spent on the car over the last 6 months; with totals over $3,000.00 I have invested in this rare classic as follows:

New Summit Racing Fuel Cell & Tank straps $250.00, 2 new, fully rebuilt Stromberg 97 Carburators $550.00, Custom made all leather 2-tone red & black back cover & snaps $220.00, Ford Flathead V8 Coil Conversion engine kit $120.00, November 8th INVOICE** , 2013 Crown Hill Automotive $2,224.38.  (**copy of invoice emailed upon request)

The labor included overhaul of the distributor & replacing the riveted-in vintage dual point sets, all new spark plugs, 12V coil & mount brackets, 12V battery system, extended battery cables, all new vintage fuel pump. The Summit Racing 8 gallon fuel cell was set onto rear frame with added flat welded supports and using proper rubber coated mounting straps, all new gas lines & racing fittings including shut off valves.

This vintage fires right up, sounds wicked, runs/shifts/drives easily. It has a ton of power! There is a large full width storage box under the seat. There are seat belts mounted, which are stored away from sight in the box. You will note on the photos there is room on the left side of the gas tank where I was going to strap an old ammo box for tools & extra storage. I do hope someone can get as much fun out of this vintage T-Bucket as I have had during my brief ownership the last few years!

WHEELS & Tires: Front wheels are rare vintage, 15” AMERICAN RACING magnesium 12-spoke spindle wheels, marked: 4.29.0 / SERIES 300 D. S./ American Racing / San Francisco California with almost new135R15x725 NANKANG tires. (there was a similar 1/2 marked vintage rim set sold on ebay for $880.00, from a 1958 Harley, see ebay 321237587475)  The back wheels are 16” with hub marked A/P. They appear to be the same style as used on late 60’s Yenko Camaro’s, the Torque Thrust Rims. They have new condition vintage style Racing Slicks, which are marked on each as HURST RACING; the late 50’s and 60’s pie crust design racing tires. I have recently repainted the rims gold color as they were faded out with age, and have not yet even done a final tire clean as I was not really planning on selling my beloved T-Bucket. I do have photos available showing car in CA, LA area from when I found this rare vintage T-Bucket. This is the real thing, a ’37 Ford flathead V8, 50’s & 60’s vintage parts and vintage racing parts used. I have the video of car running and driving.

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

The 2015 Lincoln MKS and MKT are also included in the campaign. The vehicles in question were assembled at the company's Chicago and Oakville (Ontario) plants from May 4 to May 23.

In order to address the issue, owners are asked to bring the affected vehicles their local dealership, where technicians will inspect the vehicle and where necessary, replace the parking brake control assembly.
