2019 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, Ford Roadster Built in 1988 as a 1923 T-Bucket


Every year, just before the Super Bowl and the Phoenix Open, Barrett-Jackson stages a huge auto auction at Westworld in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since it had been a few years since my previous visit, I ventured to Westworld, camera in hand. Here is a Ford roadster built in 1988 as a 1923 T-Bucket. It has a 383ci 8-cylinder Chevy Stoker engine mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission and a 420 B&M mega blower. The engine is new, the blower was recently rebuilt, and the radiator was recently cleaned and tested. This T-Bucket has two Holley 4-barrel carburetors and all-new Mallery electronics on the engine. This engine was factory dyno-tested in 2015 and includes a dyno sheet. The top is a removable, premium-molded semi-hard top. All documentation and receipts for the work performed are included. It has 3,820 actual miles. At auction, it sold for $13,200.
