Vehicle Description
You're going to say WOW about this 1940 Ford 2-door sedan for much
more than just the value price. It's a custom street machine that
was painted in the '60s, and so the flames are true and not a
tribute. But there were also solid investments in the V8 and
amenities to let you know this has been a well-respected street
machine for many decades.
The '40 Ford is sought-after today because we love to turn them
into retro-style street machines, but this one is a true original
that was already done back in the day. In fact, the consignor had
this car for over 30 years, and the previous owner had it for two
decades before that. So we can trace the history back to when this
was given the cool paintwork in 1968. Those custom multi-tone
flames part of the true lacquer paintjob, which means people who
know hot rods are instantly impressed. This looks terrific for
being a half-century old, but that doesn't mean it's perfect.
Instead, the "aged to perfection" appearance is the best
conversation starter about how this is one of the few survivors
from the original hot rod days. Plus, the details are terrific with
solid bodywork and the beefy black bumpers that match the grille
and running boards. And the chrome Cragar wheels are staggered
14/15 inches front/rear to add to the aggressive stance.
Inside the tan cloth interior is quite inviting. In fact, this is
the street machine that will keep family and friends happy with
amenities like power front windows, a modern AM/FM/CD stereo, and
R134a air conditioning. But this is also a true driver's machine
with the Lecarra sports steering wheel on a tilt column. And beyond
that is an upgraded set of backlit VDO gauges.
You see more evidence of investment under the hood. There's plenty
of shine radiating from within the painted engine bay thanks to the
valve covers, air topper, alternator, and so much more. Plus, the
350 cubic-inch Corvette motor is a later installation (the odometer
reflects the mileage on the engine.) And not only does it look
good, but it has all the right upgrades, too. This includes a
Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, upgraded pulleys,
electric radiator fan, MSD ignition, and shorty headers that feed
the rumbling dual exhaust. Out on the road, you have a Mustang
II-style independent front suspension, power steering, front disc
brakes, and a three-speed automatic transmission. So this is a true
easy-cruising classic.
Rarely do you get a chance at a genuine classic hot rod. Not only
does this have a great story, but it also has all the right
upgrades in performance and comfort. So if you want a total package
classic at an unbeatable price, don't miss this deal. Call
