Vehicle Description
Classic details, hot rod flair, a comfy A/C interior, and a hardy
V8 under the hood - this 1940 Ford Deluxe streetrod is that kind of
great all-around custom build that reminds you that the best cars
were made to be driven.
There's a lot to love in this two-door sedan. The '40 Ford's
fastback lines and sleek profile is a cool design of that era. The
tan paint fits this design quite nicely. It has a vintage vibe that
can help make this a bit of a sleeper. In fact, there's a nice
shine that makes this look more like a well-respected pre-war
classic. It's well detailed with bright chrome bumpers, sweeping
side trim, and those iconic teardrop headlight bezels. Much of the
work was done a little more than 10 years ago, but the quality that
endures today really lets you know the level of superior investment
that went into this car. But you're not into this because you want
a solid-looking classic. The Weld Racing wheels, forward-leaning
stance, and big exhaust tips signal that there's much more going on
here.
The interior is practical, comfortable, and unmistakably custom.
The well-bolstered bucket seats are borrowed from a later model
car. They are covered with cream leather and power adjust to your
ideal comfort position. The matching rear seats are also
exceptionally comfortable and have the kind of legroom that makes
this great for bringing along family and friends. Tweed door
panels, dash, and headliner are done in maroon for a tasteful
two-tone. You get some great conveniences like the cold blowing air
conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo. Plus, a tall shifter, tilt
steering column, and a full VDO gauge package make this a
particularly nice driver's environment.
The engine bay shows off a cool-looking 289ci powerhouse. After
all, it's great to have a classic Ford upgraded while still using
blue oval power. And this even has a long Cobra air grabber and
matching valve covers. This small block was built in 2011 with
receipts for about $6,000. It now has added power with a mild cam,
Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock midrise intake, and
headers feeding the dual exhaust w/Flowmaster mufflers. You may
have noticed the tank in the trunk. This car was set up for
nitrous, but this rebuilt motor was never hooked up to the bottle.
It's good for all-around driving with a three-speed automatic
transmission feeding the stout 9-inch rear end. And you have rack &
pinion steering, a tubular A-arm front suspension, and front disc
brakes.
Complete with build receipts and maintenance records, this is a
street machine wrapped around the right features for everyday
appeal. But you're not the only one who appreciates a total
package, so hurry up and call today!
