1926 Ford Tudor Sedan Traditional Hot Rod. This car was finished in 2006 has seen nothing but trouble free miles since. Driven to local as well as out of town shows like Paso Robles and Billetproof in Antioch. The car has been in many, many magazines like Rolls & Pleats, Rod & Custom and Traditional Rod & Kulture. This was built right and was intended to be a permanent fixture in the owners stable but plans have changed. He has the urge to build another Hot Rod and the wife says something has to go.





Starting with a body that took very little metal work and filler to make arrow straight the car was painted with a single stage royal blue with gold inserts and red pinstriping. A stock Model A frame was lengthened to accommodate a Chevrolet Inline 6 mated to a rebuilt 700R4 transmission. The front suspension is from a '46 Ford with a suicide perch and a Chevy 10 bolt with a pair of adjustable coil over shocks out back. Front brakes are '57 Ford pickup drums which were completely rebuilt. The car sits on a set of stock style 16 inch Ford wires built by Rally America with a set of bias-ply Firestone wide white walls. The car needs door glass to be completely finished.........cheap and easy fix due to flat glass.





The car runs great and stays cool with the help of a Walker 4 core radiator even in the brutal Summer of California's Central Valley

 For those who remember the early days of automobile mania, the color combination from the old Gilmore gasoline stations is as instantly recognizable as the red & white on a Coca-Cola can, or the orange & turquoise of a Howard Johnson’s motel. Collecting Gilmore memorabilia was a hobby for Gary Bland and Gary’s uncle, Gib Lilly, who raced midgets on the crushed granite oval track @ Gilmore back in the 40’s. Gary got the idea to build this Roadster when he saw a car built by Darrell Zipp in ‘Street Rodder’ magazine, and thought it would be fun to build a reproduction of the 1926 Model T that raced the Lakes & dirt ovals of the 40’s & 50’s. The result is this beautiful 1926 Lakes Modified Roadster wearing the Gilmore racing colors from yesteryear. The fiberglass body is one of three that Gary ordered from Zipper Motors, all of which are on the road making their owners very happy. Gary added a narrowed Model A grille, a pair of Ford commercial headlights and a custom aluminum hood from Dave Seward, which looks outstanding. Taillights are ’37 Ford and the mirror is a Deuce unit. Gary’s friend, Wayne Cooke, shot the PPG Cream Paint, and Ronny Mueller followed the scallops & Gilmore Lion graphics perfectly. Gary then built a custom 2”x3” rectangular tube frame with a suicide front end, and front & rear split wishbone suspension for the body to rest on. The fit was perfect and could not have turned out better. The 4” drop Magnum axle & quarter elliptic springs throw the front wheels way out there, stretching the wheelbase to 109 inches. The front & rear springs are from a Model A, cut in half & drilled for Teflon buttons and custom built friction-shocks are mounted on all four corners. 12” drums from a 1939 Ford provide braking, and there is a pair of aluminum fuel tanks, totaling 10 gallons, mounted underneath the body. For the interior, Gary used Bomber bucket seats from Direct Sheetmetal, which were wrapped in black Naugahyde using early 50’s-style Ferrari tuck & roll w/ cooling vents, and high-quality Porsche square-weave carpeting was applied. Other elements of the super-clean interior include the Schroeder sprint car steering column w/ 14 ½” steering wheel, B&M Ratchet Shifter and the engine-turned ’32 dash insert w/ Auto Meter gauges. Clean, concise and effective. Unfasten the hood panels and you will find the 4.3L Chevy Vortec V6, which looks like an old-time Hot Rod mill, thanks to custom painted valve covers & pulleys. Action Cylinder Head in Lakeside Ca. handled the machine work, with all assembly done by Gary himself. Features include: Edelbrock Intake Manifold w/ Edelbrock 600 cfm carburetor and custom-built headers & mufflers. The motor is linked to an Advanced Automatic Transmission TH350, which spins a Driveline Service driveshaft ending at the Halibrand two-speed Quick Change rear end w/ 3.78 gears, which was actually built for Indy. She starts, runs, drives and performs beautifully and is blistering fast, not to mention an absolute blast to drive! The perfect stance is due to the original Ford wide five wheels (4”x16” on the rear & 3”x16” up front), and correct Firestone bias-ply tires (7.00x16 on the rear & 4.50-4.75 x 16 up front). A two-piece Tonneau cover is included which looks great on this Roadster. In a world full of Hot Rods and custom cars, you will rarely see a Lakes Modified Roadster such as this, and the Gilmore Racing colors simply take you back to a time when things were a little more simple & pure.

This roadster was built primarily as a show car. Several years I decided I wanted to build a car good enough to enter in the Grand National Roadster Show. After 7 years of work and a lot of help from friends, I managed to complete it and enter the show

1927 ford hot rod roadster . this is a fresh build with less than 500 miles on it . it has a 1966 283 SBC motor with lots of vintage speed equipment. 2 holley ford script carbs on top of the vintage speed adapter mounted to the early edelbrock TM1 mid rise intake . cal custom finned valve covers , edelbrock aluminum water pump , lots of CHROME (pulleys) and high volume mellings oil pump inside the CHROME oil pan , engine makes awesome oil pressure and is tight and trouble free.there is an early black top mallory dual point unit for ignition . there is a brand new CHROME powermaster high output alternator and a set of brand new polished stainless steel lakes style headers . TH 350 trans has a nice shift kit in it and shifts hard like it is supposed to ! there is a new CHROME lokar tall nostalgia shifter mounted to the trans . the front suspension is a CHROME dropped tube axle with CHROME spindles and CHROME shocks with CHROME backing plates and CHROME drums attached to a CHROME spring with CHROME steering arm and CHROME tie rod and CHROME hairpin radius rods . the rear suspension is CHROME coil overs mounted to a CHROME 57 chevy rear end with CHROME hair pin radius rods and CHROME backing plates and CHROME drums . you get the theme here ???....THIS CAR HAS SHOW CHROME EVERYWHERE the body is a deluxe body from speedway with a functional driver door . we installed a wood and steel skeleton in the body to prevent it from moving around at all and this body is tight . the windshield stanchions are polished aluminum smoothy units from speedway and the glass is a light tinted bronze to go well with the creamy wimbledon white paint on the body . the interior is heavy commercial grade black marine vinyl professionally installed ina real cool custom pattern that screams 60's show car with the bottom half being pleated and the top being smooth and the same theme brought into the seat pattern but flopped like they did it back in the day . all stainless marine quality fasteners were used to install it and it really adds to the overall look of the car .

this car gets a ton of attention , Chuck Vranas from street rodder magazine was shooting pics like crazy at the last show it was at . it will most definitely be seen in Street Rodder magazine when the show coverage from the Syracuse nationals is published in the mag. there were people crawling around under this thing and going crazy looking at all of the CHROME at the show . killer car at a killer price , you could not buy all of the parts used on this car for the reserve price . try paying some one to prep and chrome a 57 chevy rear end . HUH !!! that alone would be close to 3k drums and backing plates as smooth as a babies bottom would cost close to 1k to chrome etc.etc. there is over 5k in chrome alone here .there is countless hours of prep work in these parts to chrome them making it nearly un affordable for most people but the guy that originally chromed these parts owned a chrome shop in western NY so money wasn't an issue as far as that goes .

This little sucker is one fast and fun T Bucket. It's running a Chevy 350 engine with a "little" cam that gives it just the right lumpity lump, turbo 350 transmission, B&M Quicksilver shifter, Dana 41 rear end, dropped drilled beam up front with discs brakes. Dash has all the usual gauges....Speedo, Tach, Oil Pressure, Temp, and Volts...no gas gauge but you can look in the tank while sitting in it. The engine runs nice and cool even when its super hot outside.....there is an electric fan with switch just in case the temp climbs. The wiring and fuse block are under the seat, the interior is charcoal and black, with black carpet. Body is fiber glass and does have a few chips and a little spider webbing, paint is a dark charcoal, that looks black until the sun hits it, and as an added bonus, there is a door on the passenger side. Nice headers down the side with mufflers gives it a nice rumble, but not too loud.....well actually it is kind loud! Aluminum tank out back, red wheels with chrome trim, and fat white walls all around. Of course there is the standard AHOOGHA horn and an added bonus....a wolf whistle! It starts right up, runs great, and is the best steering T Bucket I have owned.....oh and it will light the tires in any gear when ya push on the go pedal.

If I was going to keep it I would paint it a flat color like black or red, change out the T Bucket style headers for some old timey Hot Rod zoomies, maybe toss on some reverse chrome wheels.

I think this tasty twin-engine T-Bucket for sale on eBay deserves some more exposure because of its many cool build details.

Besides, our recent post on Gordon Tronson’s “Double Trouble” T-Bucket created a lot of interest, so I’ll assume I’m not the only one fascinated by the idea of a street-driven T-Bucket with the power and visual impact of two engines.
 From all indications, this is a brand new build with very few miles (either 60 or 950, depending on which part of the listing you read) that was built to be street driven and which also has all the nicely finished details to make it a show winner. The fact that it’s built to reflect a “traditional” style T-Bucket is a nice bonus.

 
The twin 350 cubic inch Chevy small block engines have had the casting marks ground off so they present that pretty show quality finish.
 The dual Holley 94 carbs, scoops, see-through red plug wires and fuel lines and finned aluminum valve covers give a very nice traditional hot rod engine look.

And, if you’re inclined to want to save some bucks after buying this bucket, you can shut down the front engine to get 140 miles of cruising from the 11 gallon tank. That’s a nice 12.7 MPG.
 The sharp interior features a quick release steering wheel, spoon gas pedal, and tall Lokar shifter for the TH350 tranny.

The interior upholstery is Zodiak red metalflake vinyl with black vinyl accents, seat belts and carpet. To keep an eye on the engines, it features Dolphin black classic gauges reading Oil & Temp for each mill and an electronic speedometer.
 like the fact that this was built as a bobtail T, in the spirit of Marty Hollmann’s hugely influential T-Bucket. The bobtail look really accentuates the long wheelbase necessitated by the two engines.
 Of course, this wasn’t built to be a drag racer, so the Ford 7.5 rear end is plenty adequate for smoking those traditional looking pie crust cheater slicks.

The rear axle is suspended by coilover shocks and from the rear you’ll notice the nice, traditional Model A tail lights.
 The T grille shell conceals the 750 horsepower rated aluminum radiator and electric fan that take care of cooling both engines.
 

If you’re a regular follower of our blog here at TBucketPlans.com, you know that I don’t normally post or Tweet about T-Buckets for sale on eBay or other auction sites — unless, they’re particularly unique and deserving of further attention. I think this tasty twin-engine T-Bucket for sale on eBay deserves some more exposure because of its many cool build details.

With a starting bid of $18,950, there are no bids so far and only two days left on the auction so if you’ve got the long green and an urge for a really unique and distinctive T-Bucket you better hurry.
