1923 Ford T Bucket "Very Rare...Built in the 1960's" L79 Small Blk Chevy 4 Speed
1923 Ford Model T Description
I'm auctioning my 1923 Ford T Bucket built in the late 60's. Titled as a 1923 Ford.
There are many "T Buckets" out there available for sale but not many with the nostalgia that this car has! BUILT in the 60's !! This is a real barn find "Survivor" that reads 323 miles on the old SW speedometer. This great piece of Hot Rod history is very rare and Runs and Drives great and is very fast.....
This car is so cool...straight from the 60's !! You couldn't duplicate this cool "T" even if you wanted to... It appears as though it was built as a "Show Car" or someone had a lot of money to spend because almost everything is chrome plated including the frame but not limited to the rear differential, front end, front and rear springs, drive shaft, steering rods and hair pins, blow proof bell housing etc. Even a polished aluminum 4 speed transmission. Full set of old Sun gauges. That being said the chrome has some surface rust and pitting over the past 50 years. I have not spent a lot of time cleaning these things so you can see it as is....
Here is the BIG PLUS.....It has a L79 327 CID ChevyMotor that runs awesome. It has the L79 "Double Hump" heads Casting #3782461 Date Code K155...November 15,1965with a block casting # GM 3782870....327 CID 1962-1965.It has "solid lifters" so it may be a 365 or 375 HP motor. VERY RARE! You wouldnever find this motor in a T Bucket today!! It's very rare and too valuable. The car was built 50 years ago when these motors were more readily availableand apparentlyno one figured out what they had with this motor or they would have pulled it and the 4 speed out and replaced it with a run of the mill 350 automatic!Who knows what the motor is worth? Especially if you need one for a Camaro, Chevelle or Corvette. Also don't forget the 4 speed! The motor runs awesome and the clutch and transmission and rear work smooth ...no slippage or chatter in the clutch and no noise in the transmission or rear. Shifts perfect up and down. This is a very cool 60's T but remember that it was built in the late 60's so like any other no-restored 50 year old car it shows accordingly. It is very presentable for weekend shows and rod runs and turns heads everywhere you take it! Another plus is it has a clear "1923 Ford" title.
PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS and ASK ALL QUESTIONS "BEFORE BIDDING".... I will answer them honestly and to the best of my knowledge. Thanks for looking and bid with confidence. I may consider certain trades and may sell the drive train (motor and trans) separate from the car. Thanks again and God Bless America and our Great Military!

On May-31-17 at 07:40:48 PDT, seller added the following information:NOTE: I had moved the fuel line and filter on the right side of the motor to show the "double hump" heads and forgot to move it back...that fuel line and filter go in front of the head....not on the header! LOL Just in case anyone looking at the photos thinks I'm crazy! Fuel lines and hot headers never seem to turn out well...I have a photo of it in the proper place now but I don't think I can post it. Just an update if anyone was wondering! Thanks!
