Hot Rods 60s style T-Buckets.

This T belongs to Larry Bilbee
If I remember correctly, he built this in "69", and still has it today

 

Nice. Very reminiscent of Ted McMullen's U.S. Speed Sport "Instant T"

 

There's a video on YouTube of the Jon/John/Dughi/ Dan/Rob bucket of Rob's first ride in it after we got the new 327 together...you can search it by " Schneider 22"...I believe the car was in an Everclear (?) video on MTV?...

 

Great video. Thanks.

you really know your T Buckets!

 

here is my t-bucket, my dad bulit the car many years ago, sold it and i found it in a garage about 5 yrs ago, after sitting for almost 19 years the car was back in the family, what better person then the bulider to help me get it going again just like how he finished it when he was my age. iam very proud to own the first hot rod i ever remember being in

 

Cool you have it back.

 

Maybe I missed it (scanning the thread) but we should not forget Randy Bianchi's T-Bucket, Sunkist. An East Coast masterpiece sequestered some where in New Jersey in great condition. Hopefully someone out there has images.

 

I've heard about that car, but I don't think I've ever seen it - anyone got a pic??

 

I use to draw this one in grade school all the time. It was my favorite of the 66-67 eras. I guess it was the color or the cross back window. It says bad ass to me!

 

My old T. Sold many years ago. Y Block Ford. six carbs, 4 speed, Metalflake. Chrome everything. Disc brakes on the front wires.

Should never have sold it.

 

Hey, I just saw Instant T on the movie "The Love Buy"

 

Cool or not,cant dicide...

 

i like some of it look super charged or somethings up with the exhaust.

 

I think it's Way Cool!!!, And Turbo Charged. I'd like to see more of it.

 

It looks like a bunch of speed parts from a whole bunch of different eras where thrown at a T Roadster. Like the wheels though.

 

Very cool car Paul.

 

not sure if its 60s

 

Need to see more of that one.

 

Agreed!

 

Do you have any other pics of that T? That is trick looking!-MIKE

 

I saw it at York this spring. It's black now.

 

More props to perhaps the most influential 60s T-bucket builder, Ted Brown, whose signature profile became the symbol for T-buckets for years to come. And in case you notice a similarity to the California Custom Roadsters look, it's because it was originally Ted's design.

 

I think Moriarty has some info on this one.I know it's part of the Flying A Garage/Americas Car Collection.

 

Twin turbos on this side of what looks to be a V engine...does this mean 4 total? Would be a pain to tune but I guess I commend the effort.

 

I keep fogetting to take a few shots of a car the owner of a local body shop used to show, a T bucket with a rose airbrushed on the bottom. Gold plated and engraved everything, including the molded-engine block 4 banger with both a 4-71 AND a turbo.

 

I have seen mentioned several times a reference to a 4-71 and turbo. Is this a reference to a 4-71 diesel engine? I tried the search function and didn't come up with anything on it.
