Super cleanand#44; well sortedand#44; and covered in beautiful black cherry paintand#44; this 1940 Ford coupe is a fantastic rod that you can drive cross-country with confidence and show with pride just about anywhere you go. 1940 Fords are still special cars and this one combines everything youd want if you built it yourself. Thats 100% Henry Ford steeland#44; and it has been given a full makeover without erasing one bit of its original detail. The bodywork is quite well doneand#44; with nice fit and finishand#44; tight gapsand#44; and a glassy-smooth paint job that speaks for itself. When you build a car this niceand#44; you dont need flames or wild graphicsand#44; they eye is simply drawn to the original details that simply pop off the surface. Theyve highlighted the Ford Deluxe script on the hood in red and the taillights have blue dots in themand#44; but for the most part everything was simply restored rather than being reinvented. From the iconic V-shaped grille and teardrop headlights to the Ford badge on the trunkand#44; the body and trim are OEM with no modifications and it includes rare accessories like a grille guard and bumper ends. Who can argue with a car that looks this amazing? The interior was remade in burgundy velour that uses a luxurious diamond-tufted pattern. At first glanceand#44; it might seem a little too baroqueand#44; but then you start to notice the nicely done details like matching door panels and a beautifully fitted headliner must have taken weeks to complete. Custom-fitted carpets fit well and include neatly bound floor mats that are built for driving. The billet dash insert features a set of elegant VDO gaugesand#44; as well as secondary controls for the Vintage Air A/C system and AM/FM/cassette stereo system. A tilt steering column wears a 3-spoke steering wheel wrapped in black leatherand#44; and theres even a CB radio tucked in under the dash. In the mold of all great rodsand#44; the trunk area has also been upholstered to matchand#44; with custom panels hiding the battery and other unsightly details and this rod includes a spare tireand#44; so you know it was built to drive. Great rods also need to be reliable as well as visually stunning under the hoodand#44; so this one uses a fully dressed 350 cubic inch Chevy V8 topped by a 4-barrel carburetor underneath an air cleaner that looks like it was borrowed from a jet aircraft. Theres enough chrome and polished aluminum in here to outfit a fleet of 58 Buicksand#44; but its a functional look with everything easy to access and right there within easy reach. A big radiator and A/C condenser are cooled by a powerful electric fanand#44; and all the plumbing has been wrapped in braided stainless for an industrial-strength race look. Underneath theres a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission feeding a sturdy Ford 8-inch rear end with acceleration-friendly 3.73 gears. Up frontand#44; a Mustang II independent suspensionand#44; power rack-and-pinion steeringand#44; and disc brakes add a modern feeland#44; while quiet mufflers make it easy to travel vast distances without wearing you out. It rides on a set of staggered polished aluminum wheels wearing 185/70/14 front and 215/70/15 rear Michelin radials. Go price professionally built 40 Fordsand#44; then take a goodand#44; long look at this one. But dont wait too longand#44; because this is exactly the kind of car that tends to find a new home almost instantly. Call today! |
