When someone says, "hot rod" and is referring to it in the classic sense, most true enthusiasts will conjure up something like this 1927 Ford T-Bucket. This fully repainted red roadster shows off why the Beach Boys wrote entire albums based on cars like this. Simple, fun, and powerful, with its dual-barrel air scoop and Lake-style headers complement the light glass body, making this furious fun Ford feel and sound like everything we love about these first-generation racers.
Inside, the tan cloth interior is plush and contrasts with the no-nonsense attitude of the four-pod dashboard and offset column-mounted tachometer. A thick three-spoke steering wheel, a toggle switch, and a starter are the only distractions either the driver or passenger will have to contend with, other than the exhilarating sound of those side pipes bellowing just beneath. The bench seat feels snug around you, allowing room for your legs to slide under the non-tilting steering wheel with ease. Seatbelts and a chrome filler cap just aft of the cockpit button round out the amenities you'll find inside this T-Bucket.
Usually, we would say, "Under the hood," but in true hot rod fashion, this T-Bucket does away with conservative covers and lays its heart out for all to see. A 350 cubic-inch V-8 GM engine is topped with a single four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor and matching Edelbrock Performer EPS intake manifold. Long tube headers feed into those unmistakable side pipes, doing away with backpressure, and civility, just the way we like it. Power is routed through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent to the nine-inch rear end, which engages a set of fifteen-inch steel wheels with center caps and beauty rings. Fat 285/70R-15 BFG radials wrap the rear wheels, while staggered skinny 195/65R-15 Yokohamas are used up front to create the perfect hot rod stance.

This 1927 Ford T-Bucket rides on an I-Beam front suspension with mono leaf springs and shocks, while a Strange two-link rear with half leaf springs and shocks holds up the rear. Hopefully, you weren't expecting power brakes in this old-school ride, but a set of front discs does an exceptional job of scrubbing off speed. When you think of a true hot rod, a modified T-Bucket is the car that set the standard for the industry.
