Hot Rods How about some love for the T-Bucket?

I've admired this car since the first time I saw it at Paso Robles over 20 years ago. It's a great car. I heard that when it was sold way back then it sold for $3500.00. That came from a reliable source.

 

That's a bad****** right there. And you haven't lived until you've drove a T Bucket without front brakes.

 

there's a video on this car somewhere. dug the t out of hiding and discovered it had von dutch work on it. the owner i guess had let von dutch shack up for a while. l88 (427) i think.

wicked car.

 

FINALLY! coming out of its 17 year hibernation and being shipped to me in Oregon, The Low Buck Bucked will be cruising the streets of Oregon this summer. a bunch of freshening up and steering/suspension issues, hoping all goes smooth. in the meantime its "wait till it arrives from Detroit"

 

^^^^^The photo from this earlier post has to be one of the most heart-warming photos ever posted on the HAMB! I wonder how old the proud, but a bit shy looking little feller is today?

Nick Conte car ?

 

yeah that struck me as well. such a great photo.

 

The picture looks like it was taken in the 50’s little guy is probably in late 60’s or middle 70’s now.

 

here's a video on the car (hope you like amateur poetry) but i thought there were other sources out there.

 

Not a t but still a bucket.

 

dodge body, yes?

 

Must have been quite an "Interesting" place ................. from the video .... note the sign

 

This picture came from the “clown car”thread but thought it should be added here. Not a traditional T Bucket but sure is cool.

 

^^^^That's Rusty Rockets roadster^^^^ Certainly not a clown car. I've liked that car from the getgo

 

that's awesome.

 

Clown Car ???

 

2old2fast I was referring to this post

 

I simply meant to say that the picture was copied from the “ From Clown Car to 27 T Touring Custom Rod” thread. I thought the car was so cool it needed to be included in this thread about T Buckets. I would really like to see more detail about the car.

 

PM rustyrocket. I'm sure he'd be glad to fill you in. He still has the car as far as I know

 

Looks like a zipper modified ??

 

It's the front half of a 26/27 touring

 

See the similarities ?
