LOW RESERVE – THIS T-BUCKET WILL FIND A NEW HOME Due to health reasons, I must sell a few of my toys. As a master welder who learned my craft while in the U.S. Navy, I took create pride in crafting this beauty. The frame is a custom build from heavy gauge, rectangular tubing with a Model A front axle; the back axle is a 9" Ford rear end. The heart of my T-Bucket is a sweet-running '52 8-BA Flathead with an Edmonds intake. I custom-built the headers and I baffled them to reduce noise; they're not as loud as you might guess based upon the pictures. The intake has been set up to run on one carb at this time. The transmission is a ProShift C4 automatic with a LowKar shifter. The steering box is a Corvair that has not been reversed. The steering wheel is a original '39 Ford banjo steering wheel; she's been cleaned up and still sparkles. Front headlights are not wired in at this time – the deer in northern Minnesota are built like Mac trucks – and I refuse to drive this ride after dark in fear of colliding with one of those beasts. The brake lights, signal lights, and '50 Pontiac tail lights are functional and road-ready. Fuel tank is a nine-gallon, spun-aluminum tank purchased from Speedway and body is a fiberglass tub also from Speedway. I hope the pictures and this description appropirately represent the custom build and illustrate my attention to detail. If you have quesitons, I encourage you to ask before bidding. Should you win this auction, I will request a $500 non-refundable deposit; the deposit funds will be exchanged via PayPal – no exceptions.

Title to the vehicle will be provided to you within 3 business days after your final payment has cleared my bank. The vehicle can be picked up anytime after funds have cleared. You must arrange your own transport of the vehicle from my home address. Finally, this ride is a hoot to drive and will give you that old-school feeling; can you imagine yourself at the car shows... maybe Back to the Fifties? Regardless of where you'll drive this beauty, I know you'll enjoy it as much as I have. Best wishes and happy bidding! Cheers, Mike
