Guys, today was my first day in a t-bucket. Could not stop smiling, but the question I have since I never drove one is....when under accelation, the car felt a liitle loose or wobbly. Is that something that can be adjusted, like bushings....or maybe wheel bearings? Is that inherent to a t-bucket? Thanks!

Those things can be fixed to give you a controlled ride.

So, is this the one you are considering purchasing? Other than wobbling under acceleration, what did you think? Mine is more like squirrelly under acceleration, due to lack of traction at the rear.

All I can say is...cool as f#$%.....
As 6'3" guy I had my knees pretty close to my chest, oh well. Has a small leak behind the harmonic balancer.
Pretty hard stumble when flooring it but after that hold on.....I think quads 450.
Steering colum has play up and down when holding the steering wheel.
Engine block # is a 3970010 maybe 4 bolt?
Roller rockers
350 turbo
Cam don't know.

Welcome to our world! T-buckets are such a blast to drive. They accelerate like no other, because of the HP -to-weight ratio, and the exposed engine, loud exhaust and big tires just demand attention. Kids of all ages love 'em. Hope you can make a purchase soon!

I've never ridden in a t bucket. I sat in one once. I've also seen them on the streets occasionally . That's all I needed.

The red one looked great.

 

[DonnyRay]

The black one looks good.

 

[DonnyRay]

The black one looks pretty good too.

Another question, the black t bucket is titled as a 1998 kit car / home made.
Does that lower the value and will I have more problems get it titled here in Florida?
Thanks guys...

Decisions decisions.

Looks to me like you belong in it!

(PS - Titling considerations don't really come into play for T-buckets like they do for other types of specialty cars. There's no numbers matching or original stuff to be concerned about. As long as the title is clear, should be no problems. In Missouri, mine is titled as a historic vehicle - on the recommendation of the DOR people - and that eliminates the need for inspections every year or two.)
