Body off frame restored. From a very fussy and knowledgeable
collector. He only buys high quality, authentic cars with virgin
metal. He has owned this car 22 years and put 1,500 miles on it.
The car runs and drives like a new 1940 Ford. Everything works from
the fog lamps to the radio.
EXTERIOR: Clean original metal. Painted 25 years ago and it has
proven itself, it looks like it was done recently. No signs of body
work, it is straight and there's no bubbling or cracking that I
could find. Painted original Mandarin maroon. It is polished out
smooth and glossy. All of the trim has been redone- bumpers, grill,
headlight bezels, moldings etc. It is decked out with optional trim
like grill gaurd and wing tips on the bumpers. The optional fog
lamps work. The glass has all been replaced. The tan canvas
convertible top is excellent, the frame work was restored. It folds
easily. The rubber on the running boards were replaced. The rims
were restored and it has the optional double trim rings and
reproduction white wall tires.
INTERIOR: Fully restored. Has correct LeBaron Bonney interior.
Genuine leather upholstery. The dash is all repainted. The
instruments, knobs, steering wheel are all in mint condition. The
radio actually works, the clock works as long as you wind it. It
has a deluxe heater which is restored. On the floor it has the
correct rubber mat in front and carpet in back. The door panels,
window cranks and handles are redone. It is in excellent condition
inside.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The motor compartment is restored and detailed
like factory new. The original flathead V-8 motor just purrs. The
carburetor was rebuilt. It has the optional oil filter, trumpet
horns. The firewall and the metal is painted real nice.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Completely restored. Correct liner kit and Ford
script rubber mat. All clean metal painted real nice. Matching
reproduction white wall on a restored rim. Under the plywood panel
it has original jack and Ford script tools.
UNDERSIDE: The body was off the frame during restoration. The
underbody is clean original metal with no patches. It was prepped
and painted satin black. The steering and suspension was rebuilt.
The brakes were completely rebuilt 3 years ago. Dot 5 fluid was
used which doesn't corrode. Correct exhaust has stainless tip.
Bottom of the motor is clean, it has correct 3-speed trans.
If you are looking for a car like this, this is the "right" one.
I'm telling you it's from a collector that only has quality cars.
The 40 Ford is one of the most popular and desirable antique
cars.
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle.
Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure
your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do
a walk around video that explains the car's condition in
detail.
