Thanks guys for clarifying; maybe I'm strange, but I don't consider those vehicles as "T-buckets" . . . :? :)

PS - According to my Model T History, the center-door sedan was introduced in September of 1914, and was discontinued in June 1923.

Agree with Bill. There are Center Door Model T's. Now, IF you were to cut off the top, throw in a big V8, install some hydraulic stoppers, a 9" rear with a set of fat meat on the back - - I might then be convinced it's a "T Bucket".
My oh my, the purists would do us great bodily harm for those thoughts.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Agree with you on the reliability issue. :)! :)! :)! I made that mistake twice, closer to stock makes for more carefree miles, and you still get the roar of the pipes :!: :twisted: :twisted:
