- (Please note: If you happen to be viewing this vehicle on a
website other than our main website, it's possible that only some
of our many photographs of this car are presented due to website
limitations. To be sure you access all the photographs, please go
to our main website: Garage Kept Motors.) This is hands down one of
the coolest, cleanest, and unique builds we've ever seen. You won't
find another one like it, nor one completed to this degree of
perfection. Garage Kept Motors is pleased to present this
one-of-one 1940 Ford 2-Door Sedan Resto-Mod for consideration. No
matter where this car is shown, it demands attention and accolades,
most recently at Good Guys Nationals in Columbus. Another tribute
to the car was an article in Issue No. 4 of Hot Rods and Harleys
Magazine (see photos), titled Slim's '40. The article explains how
Doug Klann, aka Slim, designed and built this remarkable vehicle
with our client and vehicle owner, Mr. McAnallen, financing the
build. After much deliberation about the design, Slims Body Works
started a major overhaul of the original 1940 body. The roof was
pancaked 1.5 inches with the windshield laid paid 45 degrees. The
back of the body was moved forward to achieve that desirable
fastback look. The front cowl was sectioned 2 inches, the hood was
sectioned 2.5 inches and the trunk was lowered 6 inches. The design
is documented on the framed photo we have accompanying the car. It
is seamless with zero flaws. The frame was custom built by Slims
with 8-inch Ford housing with Limited Slip Differential, 3.50:1
Ratio, Independent Front Suspension, 4 Link Rear Suspension,
13-inch Baer Brakes, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, and full RideTech
Air Suspension system. The body is all Ford Steel. Wheels are 17x7
in the front and 10x20 in the rear. The engine is a Ford 302 with
340 horsepower, fully balanced, with a C-4 Transmission, Electronic
Ignition, BeCool Radiator with custom aluminum, and Fully Polished
2.5-inch Stainless Steel Exhaust. The dashboard is fully custom
with a 1940 Steering Wheel finished off with Classic Instruments
gauges. Dan Armstrong of Slim's Body Works did the deep Black paint
job that is mirror finish. Proud builders paint their cars black
and this vehicle is no exception. The interior was designed by Gary
Constable and finished by Auto Interior Design of Saginaw, MI. This
is a phenomenal vehicle - the cleanest 1940 Ford we've ever seen.
One of our favorite clients, a classic car builder himself, has
already commented: this car is the real deal. With over $250k
invested, you simply cannot replicate this car for the price
offered here. We are still open to offers though so call or e-mail
if interested. You can see over 150 photos and walk-around video of
the car running on our main website: Garage Kept Motors. Thank you
for looking.
