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

^^^^^Tweety Pie and Big Daddy Roth

 

A few I saw today and an interesting rear end on one.

 

I don't recall who owns this or where I got these pix but my info says "Built by Magoo in the mid 60s".

 

Doyle's bucket, 1963.

 

thanks! you'd think with my less than stellar memory i'd keep notes.

 

Did she just run that kid over...........

 

Looks like a hubcap mounted on the last car's rearend center section. One thing i don't understand is the rod that would appear to go between the lower coilover mounts. The mounts don't look any different than anyone else is using, and I've not heard of any issues with them bending or spreading.

 

Well not a traditional 23 T Bucket but want to keep this thread going. This one was recently for sale on eBay. Powered by 1953 Olds 303 CID V8.

 

This, my friends is the quintessential T Bucket. Along with Ivo’s, they have the stance, tire size and overall style that defines the genre and sets the bar. Turtle deck, gas tank or taillights and a spring, everything else is a variant, some good, some bad. IMHO.

 

Little photo bomber on the late fifty’s !

 

Would love to see inside that bucket…as well as how the driver sits…love the proportions.

 

That's the Tommy Ivo T after he sold it to Bill Rolland

 

No it isn't. This is Tommy Ivo's car after he sold it to Bill Rolland.

 

I know that but if you look at bchctybob's post you'll see he had a link to a picture of Rollands car that ended up not coming through in my quote
