T-bucket Custom Ford Bucket T Hot Rod Fiberglass Body Roadster Top 23 1923 25 27 on 2040-cars
Mountain Home, Arkansas, United States
Truly One-of-a-Kind T-Bucket Custom Body and Custom Frame Dual-Carb 6 Cylinder and 4-Speed Note: This is NOT a 1927 model car (built within last few years), eBay insists on a year and if anything modern is entered they insist on a VIN number and I do not have that, so listed the car as a "27". Car is for local pick up only in Mountain Home, Arkansas (Baxter County). Car is sold as is where is. Vehicle is sold on a bill of sale (no title). Transportation is the responsibility of the buyer. I’m helping a friend sell this car. The car is about 10 miles from my house, so please allow time for questions to get answered. The gentleman who was building this car is a full-time professional car builder / restorer. His work is top-notch. This car is a personal project that he started and hasn’t finished. Car is mocked up and rolling, but is not wired and has never been run. Body and Chassis: Years ago there was a local company selling T-Bucket kits and the owner created a handful (less than 20) of the long T-bucket body you see in the photos. Then he purposely destroyed the mold, so there would be no more. Of the 20, only 2 are known to have been built into cars, this one and another. When the T-bucket fella offered my friend a body to build, my friend asked for, and got, the “plug” that the mold was made from. (The plug will always be stronger than the mold or the castings and this body is that plug.) The fiberglass work on this car is thick and stout—no disappointments. Whereas a normal T-bucket has a short cab and a bucket in back, this design does not use a bucket, but instead extends the cab on back. This creates a unique look and allows you to have access to the extra storage room from inside the vehicle. However, my friend did not like the look of the extended body by itself and thought it needed a top to look complete, so he hand-built the fiberglass top you see—and that is one-of-a-kind, the other known car does not have this. The top is hinged and he intended to mount assist struts off the roll bar. I think he hit a homerun with the body and top, it has a very sinister look. The top has an opening for a cloth sun roof. Fabric top that runs on rails and wads at the back type of deal. Or leave open, as is. The front cowl was made for a mini sprint car that runs a motorcycle engine and my friend extended and reworked it to fit this body. He also set the engine back into the firewall for a custom look (see photos). The chassis is handmade out of 2x3 box steel. He drilled holes (enclosed) in the frame for style. · Rear end is a Chevy S-10 with 3:73 gears. · Custom pedal set was made and hung. · Wheels are powder-coated black (he made the front wheels for this car). · Gas tank (polymer) and battery box are there. Note: The front drum brakes do not come with the car. These were given to him by his father and he is keeping them. He will install a set of disc brakes and rotors on the front before the car is picked up (see last photo of axel). Discs and caliper set is brand new, but has surface rust from years of storage. Engine and Transmission: Engine is a Ford 300 6-cyclider out of a UPS truck (they have to replace engines after a certain amount of time, regardless, and he got this one that way). He has not heard this engine run, but has no doubt it is fine. At the same time, he was able to get 2 of the one-barrel carbs the engine runs off of and built a handmade intake for them. The carb linkage is already there and fabbed up. The header is a Borla from the UPS truck (number-one quality). Transmission is an aluminum Ford 4-speed manual out of an 80’s Fairmont. (He says 4th gear is basically overdrive). Driveshaft is on the car. To Finish: Pick out and install the gauges you want, dash is not drilled, so it’s perfect for whatever you want. Wire the car; there are kits that make this very simple these days, you can specify the fuse box and options you are running. Finish mechanical details, paint, and upholster as you like. You will need to apply for a special-construction vehicle title. If you have to have a V-8, the engine and trans that are here would be good trading material. This is an awesome project car for a hobbyist or father and son. If you build this car, it will be the only one in the world.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
Sat, Jan 21 2023Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991. This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!

Ford reserving 50th Anniversary Mustangs for service members
Tue, Dec 16 2014Think getting your hands on one of the 1,964 50th Anniversary Ford Mustangs is hard as a civilian? Imagine how tough it might be for the Mustang fanatics in our nation's military. Perhaps recognizing this fact, Ford Emerging Market Services and the Overseas Military Sales Corporation (the only Ford-authorized retailer on the military's bases) ran a raffle, with the winners receiving the opportunity to purchase one of the limited-edition muscle cars. Ford EMS and OMS received 300 entries to the raffle, although with only eight 50th Anniversary Stangs to hand out, we imagine there were quite a lot of disappointed soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. "We are pleased to offer limited-edition anniversary Mustangs to members of our military through our Military Appreciation Program, and we are delighted at the response it's receiving," Doug Walczak, EMS' fleet sales manager, said. The first Mustang was delivered to Army Maj. Del Boyer, shown above. While Maj. Boyer took delivery in New York, the raffle was open to servicemembers both at home and abroad.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt
Tue, 25 Mar 2014It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
