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

That has to be an LA Roadsters car as Scritch, Sam Conrad and Duane Kofoed had JFS prefixed license plates with JFS 001, 2 and 3. Didn't realize that others in the club got them too. This was in 1966.

 

I think it's Walt Kaline's car (?)

 

I enjoy it every time new posts are made to this thread. The photo in the quoted post above is nothing but cool!

Cottons T! In my opinion, the best looking ever. The best part is that it looks good with somebody in the seat. Definitely not a nosebleed car. I'm surprised you don't see more tube framed T's. There was a shop producing tube frames for them, not quite this low back in the late '60's/early '70's. I can't remember which, but they were a name shop on the West coast somewhere. Neat!

 

Dragmaster in Carlsbad CA made a double tube frame.

 

I forget what motor this is, I know it's off topic, but what is it, (again I know it's one of two off topic car makes) and about what year is it? Is it Dxxxxx, or Txxxxx? Thanks.

 

Kinda looks like a Toyota hemi to me. My mom had one in her ~72 Corona Mark2. Sold the engine cheap(after it was wreaked when my mom got run off a road) to help out a college friends' mom at his request - who never paid me, & he wouldn't make it right. Found out what his "friendship" was worth. What I don't know, & would like to find out, is iffen the Datson & Toy hemi was the same mill. They do look very similar, esp since I haven't seen them up close for ~ 45 yrs, although for some reason I'm thinking the Datson had deeper grooves in the valve cover (???). They were really decent.

i thought that was cotton's as well. but someone in another forum corrected me and identified it as bob knack's car.
