Vehicle Description
When you demand the best of everything, then you're ready for this
1940 Ford Deluxe Business Coupe. Every inch of this fresh custom
built was crafted to be a well-integrated premium machine. You'd
almost swear that the factory gave this one the modern Coyote V8,
adjustable air ride suspension, luxury leather interior, and
push-button overdrive transmission. So there was a ton of work that
went into an award-worthy, full custom that leaves you wanting for
nothing.
This is a $200k build with barely any miles on it since completion.
It's the product of a restoration where quality was always chosen
over cost. You instantly see that in the way black paint loves to
radiate in the sunshine like it was made from onyx. And because
they were using this kind of high-gloss application, they made sure
the sheetmetal looked like it was fresh from Henry Ford's factory
before the first drop of black went down. And there's a lot more
here that really tells you how thoughtful the build was. For
example, the fenders are new Dennis Carpenter units that do a great
job of making the modern 18-inch Raceline Fugitive alloys look like
they belonged here from day one. And the more time you spend with
this, the more you see all the great details. The full-length trim
looks like an unbroken line; the Bob Drake grille is crisp; and the
bumpers are so mirror-like that the ladies will use them to check
their makeup. Yes, they really took the time to get this one to an
award-worthy level.
Open the door to more awesome details. The thoughtfulness starts
with the seats. They were borrowed from a late-model Mustang (a nod
to this car's power) but you can barely recognize them. They have
been fully redone in a supple saddle leather with an intricate
stitch pattern that make these modern conformable seats look quite
vintage. This coordinates with the custom door panels, center
console, parcel shelf, and even the trunk lining for a full uniform
presentation. More of the thoughtfulness is in the way they laid
out this interior. It still has a great vintage feeling, but you
have all the modern comfort features you could want. This includes
a push-button transmission, Ididit tilt steering column, full
modern Dakota Digital VHX gauges, cup holders, and an AM/FM/CD/XM
stereo with USB and Bluetooth. They even integrated the full air
ride controls between the seats. But our favorite addition has to
be the air conditioning. Not only does it keep you comfortable, but
also the controls are hidden behind the iconic speaker grille. See
what we mean about a thoughtful design!
There's no way of disguising the upgrade under the hood. The
5.0-liter Coyote V8 is such a modern fuel-injected powerhouse, that
it's what you get in a brand-new Ford Mustang GT today! There's
less than 30k miles on the motor, and just like the rest of this
coupe, it's an awesome upgrade that has been installed with
factory-level care. It fires up with the eagerness that a modern
machine should, and the upgraded header-fed Flowmaster dual exhaust
makes a powerful sound. The four-speed automatic transmission is
ideal for both quick kick-downs into power and overdrive comfort.
The limited-slip rear end has the same versatility. As you look at
the undercarriage photos, you'll see a strong power-coated frame.
Plus, there are suspension upgrades, like the Heidts tubular arm
front suspension and triangulated four-link rear. Add in power
steering, Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes, and modern
performance tires, and this is the fresh custom that's great to
enjoy near or far.
We have restoration photos, service manuals, and a ton more details
on this build. Few people have the time, patience, and budget to
create something so thoroughly awesome. And this is your
opportunity to skip the headache and go straight to the rewards.
