This Ford is a steel-bodied T-bucket roadster that was built by a previous owner. It rides on a custom frame with wide-five 16″ Ford wheels and upgraded drum brakes, and power comes from a 200ci inline-six paired with a C4 automatic transmission. A Model A grille, ’32 Ford taillights, BLC headlights with LEDs, and a ’50 steering wheel were also used. Acquired by the seller in 2022, this T-bucket is now offered with a Florida title in the seller’s name listing the car as a 1927 Ford.
The 1927 Ford steel body is mounted on a modified 1937 frame, and it has a Model A grille chopped 6″, ’32 Ford taillights, and BLC headlights with LEDs. It has blue paintwork with hand-painted pinstripes, and the fuel tank is painted black.
The wide-five 16″ wheels around mounted over upgraded drums that were rebuilt over the last two years. The brake lines were replaced and Boling Brothers front drums were installed along with Bendix rear components and a Wilwood master cylinder. The backing plates have hand-painted flourishes. The steering box was rebuilt in preparation for the sale, and the car has leaf-spring suspension.
A ’50 Ford steering wheel has been installed along with a 110-mph Lincoln speedometer. The odometer indicates 51k miles but is not accurate to the car, and the seller estimates they have driven the car 400 miles.
The 200ci inline-six was installed in 2023 and features a valve cover with embossed “Thunderbird” script. An electric fan has been fitted, and the seller replaced the wiring.
The C4 three-speed automatic transmission is linked to a banjo rear end with an open-drive conversion.
The car is titled as a 1937 Ford using VIN 54103307. The title carries a Rebuilt brand.
