The Ford Model T is the one for the history books. This was Henry Ford’s crowning glory, after all. It popularized the use of mass manufacturing techniques in automotive assembly, paving the way for today’s mega-factories over a century later. Over 14 million were made between 1908 and 1927, offering mobility and freedom to countless Americans. Of course, the Model T has also proved itself to be an interesting restomod platform. Up for sale is something a bit more outlandish than your typical Model T restomod. Say hello to the 1923 Ford T-Bucket. This custom special has around 7,100 miles on the clock and waits for a new owner to take it under their wing.
Looking like something straight out of the Wacky Races cartoon series, this 1923 Ford T-Bucket barely shows that it was once a Model T. Sporting a Wine Red paint job, this car has clearly been made out in dragster style. The most telling sign is its wheels – relatively thin ones at the front and meaty steamroller-esque rubbers at the rear. That’s because, in drag racing, the steering doesn’t matter so much as ensuring as much power meets the strip as possible. You just need to make sure that the thing’s pointed at the finish line. Then, the car’s funky side-exit exhaust, rakishly-angled vinyl top, and exposed engine all make this one distinctive machine. The interior of this car features a single red leather upholstered bench seat, a wood-rimmed sporty steering wheel, and a bevy of gauges. While the original Model T had a somewhat unconventional pedal and gear shifting arrangement, this 1923 Ford T-Bucket reverts to the formats that we’re used to. So you’ve got the aforementioned steering wheel, gas and brake pedals, and a conventional shifter for the automatic box. The gauges tell you everything, from speed to engine RPMs and more. There are also some toggle switches for features, such as lights. That’s all. We don’t see a radio, and there’s definitely no climate control system – not that it would be useful with such an open cabin.
This 1923 Ford T-Bucket comes to you with a 350ci Chevy short block V8, driving those meaty rear tires via an automatic gearbox and a 9-inch Ford rear end. There’s also MSD ignition, a 4-bolt main, a tunnel manifold, and twin Holley 650 4-barrel carburetors. So, you can be assured of eye-widening performance.

One of the most historically significant cars in the world, the Ford Model T revolutionized auto manufacturing. You can thank Henry Ford for introducing mass production to automobiles, allowing us to enjoy the transportation revolution that we have had for over 100 years. Over 14 million Model Ts were made over a 19-year production run, and they mobilized countless Americans during, and well after that time. This particular 1926 Ford Model T Sedan Delivery is one example, and it’s a fully-restored example. It’s also a restomod, so you can enjoy some modern creature comforts, and most importantly, a more refined and potent driving experience than the original Model T offered. This is particularly appealing, as let’s just say that the original Model T’s controls were quite different to how we drive cars today.
The Ford Model T needs little introduction. It’s a model that is intrinsically woven into the fabric of automotive culture, being one of the first cars to be produced with affordability in mind, helping shape the industry into what it is today. The Model T served as the basis for Henry Ford’s revolutionary advances in vehicle production, where he popularised the assembly line that is used throughout various manufacturing industries today. The Model T itself was kept affordable thanks to a simple design and assembly process, with limited model variants and interchangeable parts. Additionally, the Model T was recognized as being very reliable, making ownership and maintenance of the car a realistic proposition to many families. Our featured car is a 1926 Ford Model T that has undergone a thorough restoration process and is now offered for sale as a valuable piece of motoring history.
Ford’s Mustang has always been a playful sort of car, targeted at those who want to have fun. After all, it’s what created the whole pony car segment. But what if a Mustang could truly be hotted up? This is what epic racer, tuner and red-blooded American Carroll Shelby pondered. Well, the man was known for putting his thoughts into actions and the rest, as they say, is history. Even today, Ford offers a Shelby variant of its Mustang. Shelby Mustangs are known for being drag strip demons or ferocious track tools. If you want a relatively modern Shelby Mustang but aren’t willing to wait in queues, we’ve got this 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 locked and loaded for you to buy right now. With a mere 1,196 miles on the odometer, it’s basically a brand-new car.
The '50s was surely iconic. The cars, the music and the vibes were ones never to be relieved. Looking to experience or relive the magical time? Present today is this 1957 Ford Thunderbird. It's a '50s classic that ensures an original driving experience and looks that make you turn back as you park.
Ford’s T-Bird brought Americans a slice of the European Grand Tourer lifestyle. These luxury cars were initially two seaters with powerful engines and the best luxury and technological features of their time. They were designed to be owned and driven by the wealthy, and capable of crossing the country while imparting the least fatigue upon their occupants. If you’ve always had a soft spot for a T-Bird, this first-generation 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a fine catch. Coming to you with under 35,000 miles on the clock, we’re told that this car is just 1 of 68 produced in the beautiful color that you see in these photos. That fact, plus its original mileage and up-to-date servicing make it a fine classic car that’s a shrewd investment too.
The 1938 Chevrolet Master Deluxe was a popular car that experienced great sales. As a result, many units survive to this day, and they have become targets of hot rodders thanks to the availability of parts and easy-to-replace engines. The stunning example before you is heavily modified to accommodate modern automotive performance fearures. However, it beautifully retains its vintage look inside and out. The car reportedly has 4800 miles on its clock and includes two keys with its sale.
If you’re in the market for a pre-war American hot rod, the chances are you’ll have seen multitudes of Fords on the market. The Blue Oval is by far the most popular choice when it comes to crazy builds, even if many of them don’t always sport a Ford motor. This 1935 Chevrolet Vicky is here to readdress the balance. Like the Ford options, it ticks the usual hot rodder checkboxes: fiberglass body? Check. Chopped roof? Check. Custom rims? Check. Big V8 powerplant? Check. Our featured car is more than just a car at this point. It’s a work of art. And, it could be yours, with just 6,500 miles reported running on the new engine.
In the realm of car customization, the philosophy of "more" doesn't always equate to "better." A multitude of options exists for exterior, interior, and performance modifications, yet it's the delicate balance of these elements that culminates in a custom project perfected. If you're in search of a project that turns heads without veering into excess, feast your eyes on this 1941 Willys Americar Coupe Pro Street Hot Rod build showcased today.
