Vehicle Description
The 1940 Ford Club Coupe is already an icon of the street rod
scene. So when you find one already built to include great custom
details, an upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and
serious supercharged V8 power, then you know this is the legend
that was made to own the asphalt.
The '40 Ford coupe had one of the best looks of the era with a
tapered front end, long rear deck, and fenders that took the time
to show off their rounded curves. It's this classily sleek look
that keeps them in demand for the custom car scene. It's also why
they invested nicely in this steel-bodied coupe. The front bumper
forks let you really see the deep dive of the grille, and the
expertly deleted rear bumper showcases the pure art of this
classic. Plus, there are a ton of great details, like the frenched
headlights, custom taillights, glossy burgundy paint highlighted by
deleted trim and door handles, and Weld racing wheels with a 14/15
inch front/rear stagger for an aggressive stance. And of course,
the louvered hood with the large air grabber sticking out of the
top announces this has some serious street machine power (more on
that in a moment.)
The interior showcases a thoughtful build. The exterior burgundy
returns and now it's intermingled with white for a custom two-tone
look seen over every inch. We especially like the look of how the
tuck and roll of the seat inserts match the doors, and there's
plenty of contrasting piping throughout. But more than just custom,
you also get the great vintage feeling with the classic Ford
dual-spoke steering wheel, and beyond that, the factory gauges are
still on display in the art deco dash. Just below that you see more
investments in making this a great well-rounded classic. It
includes provisions for R134a air conditioning and a backup camera
that comes with the sale. And there's all the right auxiliary
readouts to keep an eye on the monster that lives under the
hood.
The power of this coupe can barely be contained - that's why the
grabber is sticking out of the hood! And when you open this up, it
really has the look of a proper street rod, right down to the
Mickey Thompson valve covers. Most people will be impressed with
just the Weiand 671 supercharger force-feeding the 350 cubic-inch
V8, but this one steps up the power even more. There are dual
Holley four-barrel carburetors and headers that feed the dual
exhaust. So it has that great mix of exhaust rumble and
supercharger buzz that tells people you're bringing serious power
to the streets. And because you're a serious machine, control has
been upgraded with features like a Mustang II-style tubular A-arm
front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. They even rebuilt the
three-speed automatic transmission and rear end in 2015 to keep
this powerful custom feeling solid.
The sale comes with maintenance records and a car cover. This is
the steel-bodied Ford that has all the right custom features. So if
you love iconic looks and serious power, call today!
