Anyone have background on these T-Bucket style Hot Rods with VW engine. Who made them? Were they some sort of Kit Car etc? Any information is appreciated!

My opinion? Custom built - too nice and too many details faithful to orig Ford Model T, to be a kit car. _________________ 1965 Type 1 sunroof Baja / about 70k miles on self-rebuilt '74 1600 and counting / SP heads and aftermarket valve keepers / non-doghouse shroud with external cooler and filter / 1.5 qt extended sump / Weber 32/36 DFAV progressive carb / 009 dist with Pertronix / 1.25 ratio rockers and ball adjusters / 1.5" stainless steel J-pipes and carbon steel baja exhaust |

Some were offered as kits by Speedway Motors, Brizio, Dragmaster, plans were also in Rod and Custom magazine around 1967-68 |

This car was for sale years ago, I almost bought it but couldn't come up with the funds. This was one of the pictures I received from the owner. The car in the picture is a Speedway motors kit, which Speedy Bill bought all the tooling from Kent Fuller from Fuller Chassis fame. Bill sold a few but no longer makes them. |
