For Sale at Auction: 1940 Ford Deluxe in Concord, North Carolina

Lot #162-1940 Ford Deluxe Opera Coupe. Before this gorgeous Coupe was acquired by The Pinehurst Collection, it came from the estate of a very well-known and respected Ford enthusiast and collector, the late Wayne Blackwood, who owned it for 35 years. From drag racing to owning a Lincoln/Mercury store in north Georgia, Wayne was a Ford Blue guy. This Coupe has undergone an extensive no-expense spared professional build and restoration, and as with everything he did, it has the "Wayne Blackwood" personal treatment. Starting with the beautiful Henry Ford Black finish that was applied to a rust free laser straight body with all new correct interior, and finishing with the mechanicals that we all dream about. The "Flat Head" V-8 engine was professionally rebuilt with the addition of a high performance "Isky" camshaft, tricked out "Offenhauser" heads, "Holley 3 Deuce's " carburetor set up and 4-wheel disc brakes. It was always housed in a climate controlled garage other than an occasional trip to the Moonshine Festival. Car runs, handles, and stops unbelievably, and can be driven anywhere with confidence. This is an exceptional '40 Coupe that hardly ever comes to market. Don't miss it!!
