1927 FORD T-Bucket Roadster Convertible Up for bid is a rare 1927 T-Bucket Roadster, and it is sure to be the prize in any collector's garage. Under the hood, this baby packs an LT1 engine, originally from a 1970 Corvette, paired with a 'Vette 4-speed transmission. It is fed by a dual Holly, and has a rear end out of a 1970 Chevy Nova. The block is a 4-bolt main; it has an electric fuel pump with the fuel cel mounted in the trunk for safety. All this provides you with 382 HP, and it has solid lifters and a steel crank. Lots of chrome dressing, including headers. It rides on Mickey Thompson wheels and tires, which have 80% tread. The metal flake blue paint is in good condition, only a few cracks, an easy fix. The black leather interior is in excellent condition. It has an AM/FM cassette; all dash guages work as they should. All this cruiser needs to hit the strip is a new battery. Top highway speed is 70-75 mph. I have enjoyed this car, but need to get rid of a few toys. I am listing more specs below; car is located in Marion, IL, 2 hrs southeast of St Louis and 3 hours northwest of Nashville, TN. Call 618-967-8398 if you have any questions.

I am sure that the car will go faster, I just would not feel safe driving faster than 75 mph on an 83 year old convertible. Also, both doors are functional.
