…and it could be yours! That’s right, if you are the kind of guy who like to enter a party with his hair on fire, enjoys blowing things up because you can, or simply wants to make an impact at the next children’s birthday party you’ll be working at, this is the car for you. The engine is a 750hp (claimed) supercharged big block Chevy and the rest of the car? Well the rest of the car just “is”. We’re kind of at a loss for words and not sure if this is how the original builder wanted it to end up or just how it happened to end up. We can almost see the guy tightening the last bolt on the massive rear wing, stepping back, and saying, “Ahhhh, done.” We can then see his buddy walking into the garage and saying, “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!” This is a stunner for sure.
On a visual level, I typically enjoy t-buckets. I say typically because that isn’t true 100% of the time. I started to mentally deconstruct this car and remove piece by piece until I got to a place where I thought it looked decent and frankly I was left with four tires sitting on the ground with nothing near them. Even the color of this one disturbs me, likely because it got taken a little too far (shockingly). When you have to have the blower restraints match the paint and the seats match the paint and the block match the paint, it just gets weird. My opinion of course but I’m sticking to it. If the engine has 750hp, the car must be riotous to drive, unfortunately it cannot outrun its own looks.
BangShifter Adam Wiskow sent us the eBay link to this car and we have a distinct feeling that it will be for sale for a while. You needs a one in a million buyer for this thing and he may not have been born yet.
CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AND THEN HIT THE EBAY LINK FOR LOTS MORE – IF YOU DARE!
I’d rock it – although I’d probably remove the skulls and extra grille shell. Maybe change the seats to something better as well. But T-buckets work well as an ode to over the top excess horsepower with a light body, and they seem to be able to get away with crazy paint jobs that don’t work on something larger. It appears the smaller the vehicle, the louder you can get away with making the colors.
Like they say, there’s an ass for every seat, but unfortunately this ass probably
would have a gerbil in it.
comment of the month! I laughed!!
But yeh its not terrible….remove about 10% of overkill elements, paint the whole thing black and I’d drive it…but without the optional gerbil.
On one hand … this is pretty bat**** crazy , loony tunes , cartoon character .. over the top insane .
But on the other hand … and maybe this is dating me … but …. isn’t that the whole point of a T-Bucket hot rod ? Wretched excess – over powered – over the top and verging on being a CARtoon of a hot rod .. rather than anything serious ?
So … seeing as how this T meets the criteria …. and then some … not to mention the craftsmanship and paint is superb … and I’d have to say
Two thumbs up ! Not my cuppa [ coffee ] mind you … but still … a huge two thumbs up . All bets being … it’ll sell quicker than anyone would assume
Remove a few things, tone down the paint and this could be a pretty nice ride.
From the firewall back it’s great – pity about the hunka Chevy shit and those stupid fenders up front…
Oh yeah – loose the foul flame job and repaint in gloss black!
This is a classic example of someone who didn’t know when to stop adding stuff. If you remove all the fenders, the extra grill, the Top Fuel wing, and make the interior a little less gaudy, then it’s a nice car.
Swap out the front fenders for something that visually fits the car, get rid of the 34 grille shell, trash that wing, get rid of the yellow and purple in the interior – except MAYBE the dash – and make it one solid color, make the bed cover black, and you are well on your way to something cool. Or at least way cooler than it is now. There’s just too much going on and oddly not enough going on at the same time.
Gass Monkey. This baby would look right at home next too that goofy Camaro he traded for on the last episode!
LOL@ gerbil comment!
I think its awesome if I had it and frank had his gerbil we both would be tickled shitless LOL
