1927 ford track t roadster “gunslinger” vin no: t3041625 350 cubic inch v8 engine 4-speed manual black exterior green/grey leather interior gunslinger is ostensibly a 1927 model t ford roadster, with 100% henry ford steel body tub. Every curve, relief, and molding is as the factory did it. the deck lid is fiberglass, and is the only non-metal body part on the whole car. The rest of the nose, including the hood sides, top, and fairings along the chassis are hand-formed aluminum for minimum weight and punched full of louvers to both help with cooling and to allow the air to pass around and through the car as easily as possible. gunslinger wears a spectacular black paint job, and there is not a single ripple, wave, or patch of orange peel anywhere on the car. Suggesting a huge amount of time was invested in getting all that hand-fabricated bodywork super straight. All fits together exquisitely well. the whole idea behind gunslinger was to merge the design ethos of the classic model t track roadster with craftsmanship that borders on art without losing sight of tradition. Then there are the functional bits like the scoop under the nose that actually force-feeds cool air into the radiator, the cool reverse scoops in the side panels that look like the exhaust ports on a mustang p51 fighter plane but actually add clearance for the headers, and the exposed steering mechanism that’s the essence of simplicity. Out back, there are neat little push bars that replicate those used on salt flats racers for decades, and while they probably don’t offer much protection, they do give it a finished look. the interior is again a nod to the past, with distressed-looking gray/green leather that might have been weathered by the sun and elements back in the ‘50s. Pleated door panels use brass rifle bolts as door latch handles and check straps for a vintage look and there are carpets on the floor, which definitely help control noise and heat. the trunk is outfitted with a modern fuel cell for safety and aircraft-quality fuel lines feeding the small block v8 up front. gunslinger is fitted with a zz3 chevrolet 350 cubic inch v8 with aluminum heads and a wicked comp cams “mother thumper” roller camshaft inside and a big demon carburetor on top. With more than 400 horsepower on tap and a full-race idle that cackles and snorts, this car sounds like a predator.
