Built in 1993 by Total Performance, this 1923 Ford T-Bucket brings a full-throttle street rod look with a lean body and wild attitude. The Porsche Red paint is accented by hand-painted yellow pinstripes that trace the lines of the fiberglass body with just enough flash. A tan canvas top bolts on when needed but keeps the profile tight and low. Hall Craft chrome 18" wheels up front wear Michelin 110/90 B18 motorcycle tires, while out back, 15" True Spokes are wrapped in massive 29x15.50-15LT Mickey Thompsons that put the stance right where it should be-nose down, tail up.
Camel vinyl stretches over a bench seat that fits just right between the rails. It's simple, clean, and trimmed to keep your attention where it belongs. A floor-mounted shifter gives you solid control, and Classic Instruments gauges line the dash with a clean look and crisp contrast. A Kenwood Bluetooth stereo brings in some music for the longer rides, but the focus stays on the sound of the pipes. This interior is made for cruising the lanes between fairground barriers or idling through a weekend show with just enough personality to back the body.
Power comes from a 283 V8 with casting 3849852 and GF suffix, topped with a Holley 600 CFM 4-barrel carb and Weiand Street Warrior intake. It feeds a set of long tube headers that dump into side pipes-one look and you know exactly what kind of build this is. A TH350 3-speed automatic keeps it simple and dependable, sending torque to a GM rear end stamped D238 (April 23, 1959). Suspension up front runs a transverse leaf setup, while coil springs with shocks handle the rear. Front disc brakes keep it all in check, and a driveshaft-mounted emergency brake adds the finishing touch.
