Hello Randy. The 1929 Ford Roadster is a great car. But what's the problem that's you're waiting on?

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

I explained it all in the video

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Can this car be refitted with a new chassis?

[@billstreber5194]

I would stop driving that car immediately The flexing of the frame and the fact that it moves the motor when you try steering it means the motor mounts must be welded to that tin foil frame You're asking for a hurt send that piece of shit back

[@s99614]

They did not send the title.

[@GodLovesYou4444]

old vette or mustang chassis would be nice

[@davidfrederick392]

The 330 Olds was manufactured from 64-67. It was a great engine. My first car had that engine. It was a 64 F-85.

[@randyrush9856]

I never could understand why someone would stand around in a garage complaining about sucking fumes instead of just taking a couple of steps over and lifting the door, but I see it all the time.

[@Jddvs]

Why would anyone put a model A body on a model T frame? I’ll bet that it is a model A frame with the crossmember cut for the transmission to go through. The frame probably wasn’t braced or boxed which would explain the flex when the steering wheel was turned.

[@AndyGeesGarage]

Exactly what I was going to say. Definitely a Model A frame and needs to be boxed. I actually don’t like using those Vega cross steer boxes on a Model A frame they put lateral strain on the frame a Corvair reversed box for push pull that goes parallel to tge frame

[@jshelby78]

Love the old cars Randy! appreciate the awesome content sir! and keep up the hard work!!

[@Mercmad]

I'd build a new chassis and swap the rest over to it. As a Model A roadster,it's not a T bucket (as in Model T) 😁 Abetter looking nose etc would make it quite nice.

[@donhunt3055]

Exactly. Nothing T-bucket about a Model A.

[@Mr.XJ.96]

@@donhunt3055 it's also not on a T frame it's on a A frame. A T-Bucket is a totally different Car and Animal.

[@ronwstauch9390]

Order frame from one of street rod companys

[@tommymills326]

I actually really love this car and I think it would be great project, but why do you keep calling it a "T bucket"? it's a '29 Model A roadster. is it because it's sitting on a T frame?

[@WinnfieldCustoms]

your roadster videos got me back in the garage tinkering on mine, that is a very unique build for sure. lots to improve on. kind of infuriating someone would pass it thru auction knowing they could never find the title for it.. keep up the good work man

[@uo2230]

If I remember correctly, the 330 was the engine used in the original 442 in 1964. In 65 they changed to a 400 b/c people wanted an automatic so the 442 designation changed from 4 speed to 400 CI. Was a great engine tho. I'd never buy a T bucket tho.

[@my31and37]

The worst thing is someone welded the doors shut. Probably a hodge podge of coupe and roadster parts...and yea, that frame is dangerous. I've built a few 30s cars and that's NOT the way. But, you'll know on the next one.

[@MrTurnpike4]

Randy a 1929 Ford is NOT a Model T it’s a Model A . Model A Fords were built from 1928 to 1931

[@br549rdr]

That car is for cars n coffee and parade that’s it💪

[@kenmcleod8618]

Bro, you got ripped on that price ! Best thing that ever happened….giving that thing back!

[@jimbradley4565]

The car is a Ford Model A. Ford ceased making Model T's on May 25, 1927. But you are sending it back so it makes no difference.

[@geraldscott4302]

I had a T Bucket about 30 years ago. I didn't build it, but it was basically built from a kit. Modern frame, fiberglass body, 351C/4 speed. A real Model T frame is not designed for a heavy V8 engine and modern wide/heavy tires/wheels. A T Bucket would have a special construction title unless it was built from a kit with a VIN.

[@djsonic6533]

Old cars is what this channel is all about

[@dwayneday6982]

Hey Randy! You should be able to get a title with a bill of sale. I can in Illinois

[@greggc8088]

From the way the engine was moving when turning in the shop, it seems like the front frame rails need a crossmember to tie it all together. Could probably fabricate something. Most likely that's why it's all over the road at highway speed.

[@cjmarsh504]

That T Bucket look like it was fun to drive. Unfortunately, the title issue made you send it back. I was looking forward to seeing you painting it fire engine red. From the looks of it, probably a father and son build.

[@markp2865]

Most auction houses won't sell a car unless they have a photo copy of the title. The previous owner did Randy a favor. Randy got to play with the car, make a video, and send it back without losing money. Looks dangerous with metal fatigue issues.

[@burtonholmes4708]

If title says it's a pre-1957 model no turn signals are required.

[@srchastain859]

Car is not a T-bucket...it is an A-Model.

[@aicsusa]

I really like old cars! Thanks for sharing! Take care and God bless!

[@slimjim119]

I love all classics cars and trucks boats even bikes and who doesn't love the classics

[@toolzshed]

How are viewers not liking the old cars??? It's crazyyyy 😲

[@lysdexicsoftheworlduntie1881]

In this case "Not Running" is snake oil speak for "Unsafe At Any Speed". It's pretty clear that this car was basically thrown together and was in rough mock up when it was sold. Hence the "Not Running" tag.

[@jasonhare4840]

I remember how sketchy my t-bucket was. If you find somone able to do old school alignments it helps. They actually align them like race cars so the front wheels actually have toe together which helps with the wheel hop at higher speeds in the front

[@makpsv]

With the way the steering is hitting the engine and moving the frame I bet it needs something more than an alignment.

[@saxmusicmail]

You know, doncha, you can do hand signals for left turn, right turn, stop? Haha! Another forgotten skill, like shifting a manual transmission.

[@andrewlegrand7594]

I had the 330 Rocket engine in my 1965 Olds Cutlass F85

[@docgiggles130]

I’m betting th frame is the factory c shape. It should have had steel welded over the open side to make it a box shape. That changes everything and why after market frames for something like this is box shaped.

[@dalehale1635]

If you end up keeping it as you stated could happen in the other video I'd box that frame and attack the steering column better as that frame flexes everything quite harshly.

[@garycamara9955]

My frame is boxed, its a real Henry 32 frame heavily modified. It doesn't flex.

[@garycamara9955]

Red really, how about black!

[@garycamara9955]

A title is easy to get!

[@garycamara9955]

Where is it going to I'd buy it. A fiberglass T Bucket is not worth much. A real Henry 29 roadster is worth 20,000 plus. If you want a nice traditional roadster I'll sell mine for $45,000

[@viewfromtheroad2656]

O had that engine in my 1939 Ford Deluxe coupe with triple 97's. What a fun car it was.

[@markusbalmer7501]

Hahahaha the top mirror flapping back and forwards haha

[@FREEDOM-xv4ff]

We love the classic cars 😍😍😍 watch you talking about Randy!!!😷😷😷

[@bobbybraddock7530]

We will watch whatever you want to put on the channel, I have been here for years and years, had to redo my email and channel name because I got a new phone, laptop etc! Anyway, i am a long time viewer!

[@jeremyTallen1]

The old cars and the 80s and 90s cars are my favorite kind of content.

[@sgttombailes3380]

I had 2 friends with well sorted very nice T-buckets. However, these things were dangerous as all hell. Those thing would get away from and KILL you in a New York minute.. They both sold them while they were still alive ... LOL

[@garycamara9955]

It needs more caster. Its not a T Bucket. I have a 28 roadster. It feels good past 100mph. My Daughter has a 1918 T track roadster with a V860 and a halibrand quick change. She cruises at 70 to 80 in it. Your suspension needs work.

[@elmerflitcoft8804]

The 330 olds motor has been around early sixty's They also made a 330 ultra high which had more compression

[@rexsheldon1042]

you do not have a T bucket the last year for the model T was 1927. the car is a model A. the model A was built from 1928 - 1931.

[@gluke1045]

Hi Randy! Can we see another video on the yellow one? Keep up the good work!

[@mikakari9498]

Looks like it was built in the early 60’s. Maybe rebuilt in 90’s with bad taste. You had a real survivor there. Hope it gets a good home.

[@fluffy1346]

Always looking forward to watching your channel Randy

[@victorrodea7163]

That lumpy ride is what caused the steering column issues.

[@timjohnson9230]

When you were talking dream car, I thought maybe a 58 Plymouth. I like the old car videos. Could watch them all day.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

You have the unique opportunity to compare the two roadsters.

[@MrMattMohler]

When you said, "tight fit", I thought you meant in the car... 🤣🤣🤣 And thanks allot, now I want one...

[@rongamble9884]

That's why I only do custom and restoration work for customers and don't buy or build to flip resale

[@garylyddan849]

I love that roadster!! Such a shame!!

[@burtonholmes4708]

You have now experienced what the early days of hot rodding was really like. When the quality of the car depended on the skills of the builder not on what the aftermarket has developed. I would NOT unwind the deal. I would FORCE them to produce title, year correct / not a builders title that would require the car to be compliant with all laws in effect on day title issues. A REAL metal T-bucket is PRICELESS.

[@toguro1009]

I’m not the only person that yells “Moo” to the cows, I see. Cool bucket!

[@tommyhall2768]

Sorry about the t bucket buddy good luck see you in the next videos hope everything goes good for you an your uncle bless you an all your family are doing ok buddy

[@TheHungryMammoth]

Been waiting for an update on this one ☝🏻

[@jamesgeorge4874]

The 9:1 compression 330 was 245 hp, 330 tq. The 10.25:1 engine was 320hp and 360tq.

[@HeartNSoul4Music1]

Also it had a forge steel crank from the factory outstanding motor had one in 65 Cutlasd

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed that you get that Cobra Randy, good luck buddy. 😎🙏👍

[@davidgray5180]

Seems to be typical for a car like that , It just needs a little love. If those windwings you would know it.

[@gregoryreffitt7957]

I rode in one when my cousins husband had one when I was between 14 and 16. It had a ragtop and was bright yellow.

[@danielventura8073]

What's really s sketchy is the owner not sending the title.

[@geraldcoe1123]

Rolling death trap. Sketchy is an under statement. LOL!

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

Would like to see it on the lift and see the under side. If the seller is Carvana, 30 days for a title would be a record! I wonder just how bad the frame is? For it to be covered up could mean it is nothing but rust. Would have been interesting to see the underside with it on the lift.

[@burtonholmes4708]

Sell the old Tin Lizzy through Hemmings. You'll get more money and know it goes to someone that'll do it right.

[@garycamara9955]

Its not a tin lizzy. Its a model A. A tin lizzy is a Model T.

[@Joey-cq7tn]

Randy PLEASE search up this song you'll like it 😁 My Way (feat Tyler Hubbard) Then listen to what u said 26:43 We should add that line to the song 😂😂😂

[@victorrodea7163]

Here's something fun...wheel hop at 60. It will make a believer out of ya. That's front wheel hop y'all.

[@WthaHatchet]

Sketchiest car i ever drove was a T-bucket. More sketchy than riding in the bed of a truck with all the bed mounting points rusted through and gone. 😆 Doors would fly open, seat was unbolted and slid around, no seat belts, and I fit perfectly out the open door(what do ya know). Fun stuff! 😆

[@billrenfro9798]

That is not a T Bucket. It is a model A roadster. Built on a model A frame.

[@ben6119]

I used to just about daily drive a 27' T / orange with brown interior. Put about 30k miles on it. Wish I still had it.

[@larrynharding]

can't believe that car came from n.c. with no title. i live in n.c. and have titled 1. home built car, 2. vintage cars, and . 2 vintage bikes., a little hassel but well worth it if you have something you like. i've heard horror stories about other states that don't want to title older vehicles. not so bad here!

[@taunusv4power]

Oh man the old cars are the best. I've been following you since very early but i realized that you were worth subscribing to when you bought that white 80s wagon, was it an Oldsmobile? You sold it to some subscribers. It always makes me happy when you bring those cars and not generic modern crap like the rest do!

[@bryanhill4516]

Speedway motors has some t-bucket frame kits. It would make a good project...

[@HotRodDad]

Please stop referring to it as a T-bucket. It's NOT a T.

[@72chevelle156]

looks like a lot of work. fun, I don't you know how to feel about it. lol

[@markgregory3960]

Shout out to Roxy the real MVP...

[@toolzshed]

Needs a roll over cage 😂, it's so scary, but it is definitely cool 🤘🏽🔥

[@brentunderwood7600]

classic cars is what im here for i dont care for the new cars there boring!

[@savgre9400]

I was waiting for the steering wheel to fall off

[@Leftycraig48]

The Olds 330 CID V-8's were the only small blocks that had forged cranks and are highly sought after items by racers and rodders. All 350 CID cranks are cast. The 330 and 350 both shared the same stroke and bearing journal diameters. As an advertising gimmick, Oldsmobile had a 330 installed in a Cessna aircraft and actually flew it. I'm sure if you search hard enough you can probably find one of those magazine ads. I believe they were in Hot Rod and Car Craft mags as well as others like Motor Trend etc.

[@jbshuggy]

Randy - road trip to get the replica mustang with monkey wrench Mike and Santa's workshop? Now that would be some awesome content!! Great Video!!

[@randall1959]

While it's not something you would want to do burnout contests with, it's only going to be dangerous if you drive it past it's limits. It'll be great for local car shows and parades or a leisurely cruise up the strip but you wouldn't want to drive it cross country or light up those tires over and over.

[@kevinallen8162]

Randy, when it comes to selling the Model T Touring car, have you considered one of the collector car auction services? There are a number of different consignment sales coming up in October, November, and December? It would appear that there would be a better audience for the start stock Model T Touring in one of those sales.

[@garycamara9955]

Turn signals are not required on cars older than 1957, unless factory installed. In California anyway.

[@andrewrichey7374]

Wow that’s a shame I would love to have that one mainly because metal body. Too bad you couldn’t get the title. Here watching from the state of Michigan appreciate you sharing

[@Jessesquarebodytube]

No back brakes = burnouts!!!

[@CR7659]

Car looks like maybe a 1980s or early 1990s build. Sort of a time capsule. A good original Model A frame is worth like $100, in a title state one with a title might bring more. Guys make plates to box them for not much more than that. Maybe this just needs the frame rails boxed in. The doors being welded closed tells me they knew it would flex some when they put it together. Model T frames are pretty flat and like 2x3 C channel, they're not that desirable for a hot rod. Model A the channel opens up to 4 inches or so tall. I can't see enough of it to tell which it is. Boxing them means you weld in a plate to make it a box tube instead of a C. They really aren't strong enough on their own for more than a mild hop up, but boxing them in makes them strong. No title is not a huge deal on these. My state it doesn't need one. Maybe you have to buy another frame that comes with a title. Ford frames have the VIN stamped on the left side top at the cowl. A lot of guys just register them with a title and never worry about if it matches or not. I wouldn't do that but *shrug* $13K to me seems high for the build quality in it, but I don't think you could build it yourself for that unless you pieced a car together a little at a time. The body is probably a mix of parts and not a legit roadster.

[@gregallen4272]

Very good advice speedway motors also sells so weld in crossmember and bolt in cross members excellent comments very little money five hundred dollars and time spent working. It makes me really wonder why people who want a Lexus 330 take the dam time to buy a hot rod and park it in their garage forever and bitch about it.

[@richieshar803]

Those are wind wings the shifter is a b&m Quicksilver and the wheels are center line

[@jennaemullins7612]

That Model T reminds me of the Car in the Beverly Hillbillies show.

[@Mr.XJ.96]

It's on a A Frame...Its a Roadster Not a T-Bucket!!!! You keep calling it a T-Bucket and its Clearlly Not. Two totally different Cars. Its just a Model A Roadster on a Model A Frame.

[@johnccargill4665]

They are called wind wings knucklehead, to direct wind away from the passengers.

[@jackaustin3576]

If the battery is fully charged the Amp meter should not show a charge....It will show a charge right after starting the engine but only for a short time....

[@derekdonner3655]

I love the old cars Randy

[@jeffreyrussell2557]

It's not a T-bucket. It's a model A.

[@DuckyHunter812]

I think I'd have just registered it in Vermont as an out of state registration and then taken the Vermont title to my own DMV and got a fresh title.

[@ryanroshong2004]

Can’t wait to see the model T Randy

[@bigeizsupportgroup1427]

Have great Sunday

[@gregoryreffitt7957]

My 66 Vista Cruiser, 66 4 door cutlass amd ,u 66 2 door cutlass all had this engine.

[@b.neallee7042]

Man I like your shop. It's not your fault there is no title. Neal

[@just4kicks950]

I dig it all Randy ! The Shelby kits are awesome IMO 🔥🚘. There's a performance shop next door & he built a beast with a 429.Metallic black with pearl white race stripes & just watched Ford vs Ferrari with the cobra. To cool for school lol 🎬🚘🤘

[@jamesarnett4129]

It's a model A, not model T. You can buy a new frame and fully box it. Steering wheel had lot of vibration that's coming from the front end. Could be tires could be rims could be loose front end period. Any vibration in the seat? All and all I'd say you got your money worth. Few fun weekends and you got a profit car. As far as a title, file for builder title no big deal. Harder and harder to get real steel.

[@ericbooks8551]

That car came from Minnesota a year ago

[@PaddyBoy644]

No burnout??? Come on Randy!
