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

looks like i'm going the beer keg route with mine and i'm on the lookout for period pix for inspiration. this one i think is c. 1965.

 

I'm thinkin' that stars an' stripes peace sticker came out in '69er'70.. I could be wrong...

 

That looks NICE! That rear seems to be tiny, though.

 

Also, the plate appears to be a Blue/Yellow (1970) and is personalized (also 1970).

 

you guys are spot on about the sticker. in hindsight i had shared another picture on social media that i was told was taken in '65 and i just mixed them up.

picture below.

 

i believe it's powered by a buick 215.

would be cool if someone built a replica of this version of norm's car.

 

Now that the real car has been restored, one of those “really close” clone cars would be cool to see made to this version

 

The July, 1963 issue of PHR had a six-page feature on building a full-scale version of the Big T:

(I always felt that this version looked like it was running uphill...the front end could've gotten a two-inch drop.)

 

AHA! I thought I remembered seeing that "T" at Indy. in 1964 or 1965. I think I remember it being a different color, maybe turquoise or light green.

 

I have "a few" kits still sealed in their boxes....

 

PERFECT !

 

Looks like a high percentage of Nailheads over the usual SBC.

 

I know Rick Thompson's T roadster has showed up in this thread, but not these shots from the September, 1965 issue of Modern Rod Magazine. What a cool car.
