Vehicle Description
This 1940 Ford Tudor has a great classic style, and if you pick up
on the little details, you'll also discover that it has a hot small
block, upgraded suspension, overdrive transmission, and an overall
incognito fun driving personality.
The Tudor round backs have a fastback style that is great for a
little extra fun. This one likes to disguise its true nature by
letting you love the Henry Ford era steel first. The great gloss of
the black highlights the iconic curves of the 1940 Ford. And all
the brightwork that makes these such a star is still in place. The
bumpers shine brightly; the grille has a powerful V-shape; and the
trim runs like an unbroken line from the tip of the hood all the
way until it follows the curve of the rear fender. So you need a
keen eye to see the hidden hot rod. For example, you may be too
busy admiring the classic red wheels with two-piece Ford Deluxe
wheel covers to notice the extra meaty rear set. Or you need to
notice the dual exhaust tips peeking out from the rear bumper.
This is a thoughtful custom-built interior, and that's evident from
the moment you open the door. The low-back bucket seats have a
classic look but offer better bolstering. And there are nice
touches, like how the pattern of the upholstery matches the side
panels and headliner. The plush black carpeting and smooth black
dash complete a very uniform style. Even the air conditioning vents
are well hidden within this darkness (it's running modern R134a but
it will need servicing.) You'll love the vintage driver's details
like how the thin dual-spoke steering wheel lets you clearly see
the art deco marking on the gauges. And just like the exterior, if
you pick up on the little things, like the tach under the dash, you
start to realize this is a special kind of street machine.
The engine bay doesn't get to be as incognito as the rest of the
car. After all, it's hard to hide a terrific small block upgrade,
so this instead makes sure it's showcased brightly. The valve
covers, air grabber, alternator, upgraded pulleys, and more all
have a bright and fresh look that radiates from within the dark
inner walls. Beyond the flash, there's the substance of a Chevy 350
cubic-inch small block V8 that has been upgraded with pieces like
an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an aluminum intake, and shorty
headers feeding the rumbling dual exhaust. You also have good
supporting components like a Painless wiring harness, HEI
distributor, newer plug wires, and an aluminum radiator with
electric fan. It's a strong-running powerhouse, and as you look
underneath, you can see it was built for fun on the road. This
means an upgraded suspension with a Super Bell dropped front axle
and a four-link rear with adjustable coilovers. Plus, features like
front disc brakes and four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive
make this classic a comfortable highway cruiser.
This is vintage style that's made to get you down the road in power
and comfort. So you know this is one special machine that won't
stay long in our showroom. Call today!!!
