About Buckle GT Tourer

The Buckle Sports Coupe is a fibreglass-bodied sports car which was produced in Australia by Buckle Motors from 1957 to 1959. The 2-door coupe used a combination of Ford Zephyr Six and Ford Zephyr Mark II components, including a straight-6 engine from the Mark II. Thanks to its fibreglass body, it had a relatively light weight of 865 kg (1,907 lb) and a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph). It also featured a box chassis frame, transverse leaf spring front suspension and a conventional Ford rear axle. A total of twenty Buckles were produced, including two incomplete examples sold for racing purposes.
