    The car in the foreground in the second picture is Chris's Viper bucket. Pretty wild. His older one has a blown 440. His wife's has a 360

    That triggered a memory of an old Trosley cartoon.
    Wild car at the gas station, the attendant with the filler stuck in the back is yelling "Shut it off, it's gaining on me!" :D

    I'm not as well versed in the names of the historic T bucket builders. This one is advertised as being a 1960s show car that was rebuilt.

    Mike Beesley's 1923 Plum Crazy T bucket. Originally built in the 1960's for the car show circuit. Appeared in the 1966 Oakland Roadster show. I purchased this in 2011 and did a complete rebuild of the T bucket.

    It's not HAMB style in it's current guise, so I'm linking it here. Hope someone can provide some old pics. It seems like a decent deal for what's there, even without the history, although there are few things.

    The seller's FB page. I can't scroll far but it should have more pics of other 23s.
