Hot Rods 60s style T-Buckets.

The old t's are the best, the others look like cartoon's.

 

I remember that car well. It was featured in at least 2 magazines, was on the cover of at least one. Yes, R&C and SR IIRC. The cowl was real low, the body angled up to a near normal height at the rear. Unusual front axle, like a straight axle that used ball joints to carry IFS spindles. Red paint. Shown in a fast food drive in lane.

If those mags would show all their covers like HRM does, we could find it.

 

?s on the Dan Collins/Robs T What is the rear Susp, And what fuel tank(how many gallons) and What size Tires?

I'm collecting parts to build my Son one and want the same basic look.

 

Mine's not 60's per say but has a 60's vibe to it

 

I thought it was Porsche powered?

 

Don Kendall's? --> Personally, I'd like to see more pics of his low-slung, MoPar-powered T-bucket. How 'bout it, anyone?

 

I thought this one is Corvair powered.

 

Yes, it is.

 

99% sure that's the car. Looks pretty much like it did in the mag feature, except seems like it had some crazy - wide Skylark wires on it with Firestone indy tires. Or maybe I got details from two or more different cars mixed together, probably been 25+ years.

Anybody seen the car recently, or know where it is now?

 

Check out that front suspension.

 

Oops, forgot the pic

 

Yep, that's it. I'd LOVE to go for a ride in that. Where is it now?

 

Hey hey hey,keep em something like 60s style please!

 

Looks like No-par power. I'm guessing Corvair. I would like to see some closeups, details, more info. please.

 

Relax, brother. The Kendall car was built sometime in the '65 - to - 1970ish time frame, so it does sorta qualify as a 60's car even if it ain't got the late 50's / early 60's look you're after.

It doesn't look like an Andy's Instant T car, doesn't look like the Kookie or Ivo cars, doesn't really look like anything else from that era either. It is or was a unique, homebuilt rig from way back when and that's why I thought I'd bring it up.

Now let's get the pics flowing again.

 

That car has been discussed before. I was out of the Chicago area. The last time I saw it was in Detroit NSRA show and it was yellow.

 

Royalshifter, I love that T!

 

that gold flamed t is awesome!!!

 

I definitely have a roll bar in the works for my own T in the near future. I have also been trying to find a bed for it and some other things. Right now I am having the wheels & tires mounted so be on the look out for The Hussy's new look.

The motor is right side up, with no fan or shrouds -- the Corvair transaxle is "flipped" though to give multiple forward gears.
