A few that are at the low end of the price range. Cheapest fairly complete I've seen in a long time, but will need full sorting. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/551214334376707 kit at less than retail, up to you if it's worth it. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/9640571819298952/ another https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1056874149769226/ Complete, but has some questionable stuff. BTW, appears to be a Buick V6, not what is said. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1242109430987300/ Oh, my... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1284403119775079
Posted this on the main forum Love For thread, but just in case there are some who check here and not there, Stumbled across this guy's video. He's been doing youtube for 3 years, but has very few followers. This latest project is how I found it. I won't say it's a well polished presentation, but it is cool to see a T-Bucket that isn't a full 1-800 build. Only 2 chapters so far. www.youtube.com/@bunneysgarage/videos
Don't remember, sadly. I was going thru an old hard drive and found all sorts of pics I grabbed over a decade ago. I need to sort them better... Most with a full hood and nose are 27s like in this thread. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/a-track-t-anthony-myrick-wouldnt-drive.1337455/ Being a 23 and that low with a belly pan caught my eye.
Possibly built in the late seventies I have the 16" wire wheels that was on it. I installed the white walls.
That is a beautiful car, is it still for sale? I know if I didn’t have two unfinished projects it would’ve been in my garage a while ago! Dan
@Sharpone Yup still for sale $13K and $12K if I put the wire wheels back on it. Cheap for a very nicely built Hot Rod and am amazed it has not sold.
^^^ A lttle bit early for post-1965. ^^^ That is the cover of Rod & Custom from May '64. I guess that makes it HAMB friendly and on topic.
I like the way this one is shaping up. https://gmshotrods.com/latest-news/ford-t-bucket-in-the-build/
Greg Stokes is the guy behind GMS hot rods and builds nice cars. I believe he's the current owner of the Cop Shop Coupe and recently completed a full restoration of a famous 1970s New Zealand car called Road Hog.
The gentleman in Prescott is continuing his second T-bucket build. He is do***enting it on the forum. https://tbucketeer.com/threads/mykks-bmw-v8-t-bucket-version-1-5.20152/ I hope to see him at the local show this weekend at Watson Lake.

Sounds like someone with more than the maturity of a fruit fly! I've been up to a guestimated 65-75 in mine without a top. I stick up about like the Gumball Rally one posted a few posts back, Black with flames. I'm looking thru the middle of the upper pane. The buffeting was pretty heavy. The wind seeks the low pressure behind the windshield, meaning it hits the back of your head. With the top, I'd guess it's getting whipped. Here's a similar one, full height windshield with a top driven around a parking lot. Didn't find a highway video of one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMQpthtPvuE The guy that built one for power tour had a half windshield and no top. He's posted a number of videos.
The reason I ask if I ever buy or build one I will drive it cross country and likely would run into some weather - rain- and a top would be handy maybe. I might have a little maturity but likely less common sense. Not sure if a top could be stowed easily either. Dan
Dan, take a look at @Tim_with_a_T 's build. He's going to the effort to make it as weatherproof as possible for the PNW weather. Any roadster is going to be less sealed than even a convertible. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/the-belly-****on-bucket-build-thread.1000590/
