Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to offer up this cool 1940
Ford Coupe for sale. Between the attention-grabbing paint job and
the relatively modern powertrain, this car is sure to be a fun toy
for the new owner. Under the hood of this beauty is a Chevrolet 350
CID V8 engine that has been rebuilt roughly 1,900 miles ago. When
driving the car, one can tell that this engine is fresh thanks to
the abundance of power and a strong, smooth pull all throughout the
rev range. The engine is kept cool thanks to a Walker radiator.
Also, the car is equipped with Sanderson headers to provide a mean
sound. Sending the power to the rear end is a turbo 350 three-speed
automatic transmission that shifts smoothly through the gears. The
rear end in this sweet ride is a curry 9" that is geared just right
to provide the car with a good balance of acceleration and top end.
The handling of this beauty is greatly enhanced by the front end
sourced from a Mustang II. Helping bring the car to a brisk stop
are power disc brakes at all four corners. Overall, this car drives
like a relatively modern car and is very fun. Upon entering the
cabin of the vehicle, the driver will notice the completely redone
tan leather interior. The seats are very comfortable and provide
much more support than the original style seats would have. This
car also is equipped with comfort features such as power windows,
heat, air conditioning, heated seats, and a custom radio and sound
system. The trunk of the car has also been done in the tan leather
theme of the interior and looks great. Adding to the cool features
of this car is the fact that the trunk lid is power and comes up
with the push of a button! Overal, the interior of this beauty was
very well thought out and is comfortable. Moving outward, the
exterior features a bright yellow basecoat with flames painted
running from front to rear. The paint is in pretty good shape and
would really come alive with a proper detailing and waxing.
supporting each corner of the vehicle are american racing rally
wheels wrapped in almost new BFG radial tires. Overall, this car is
in good shape and runs well. For more information on this 1940 Ford
