Zoom Classic Cars presents this very unique 1940 Ford Custom Deluxe
Coupe. This car started its modified journey back in 1956 when the
owner from East Bridgewater MA spent 900 hours crafting a foreign
styled 2 seat car with all American parts and dubbed it "Le Cobre".
You can see the 1956 Article attached to read the full story. The
car went through many iterations through the years and was off the
road for a very long time before being found by the current owner
in 1994 who began a full restoration and began adding his own
unique touches to the vehicle. Today the car is equipped with a
rebuilt 351 V8 Mercury with 4 Barrel Edelbrock 600 CFM and Custom
Bat Wing Air Cleaner from an an early Cadillac coupled with an FMX
Cougar automatic transmission with 3:50 gear ratio with new John's
rear end 3rd member. 12 Volt system with alternator. Car has been
driven approximately 5K miles on the build with the drivetrain
having 28K miles on it when installed. Jade metallic 2 stage point
in overall very nice condition. Has yet to be sanded and buffed.
The car is mounted on a 1979 Mercury Cougar professionally modified
frame that has been shortened 41 inches and narrowed 12 inches. The
car is loaded with numerous custom features and options including,
Power Tilt Steering with beautiful Superior Wood Steering wheel,
Power Brakes, new Classic Instrument gauges, New wiring harness,
Ford Mustang retro AM/FM Stereo Radio with Aux connection and Tom
Tom GPS integrated into a modified Thunderbird Console. Grey cloth
bucket seats from a Pontiac Sunbird in excellent condition with no
rips or tears. Full Spare mounted securely behind the seats as
shown. Headliner in excellent condition. Custom Blue interior
lighting. Exterior of the car is in overall excellent condition
with all panels lining up nicely and all the Chrome in excellent
condition including the Wurth's Custom 25 Bullet grille and Swan
outside mirrors. Additional custom features include shaved door
handles, Custom door poppers expertly integrated into the mini
fender grilles, Custom Battery cover, 1950 Chevrolet Cowl, 1953

compartment where you'll find an all aluminum fuel cell setup.
Undercarriage of the car is very clean and features dual flowmaster
exhaust that sounds great. The car rides on brand new Yokohama
tires mounted on Custom painted steel wheels with Spider Chrome
inserts and trim rings. Overall a very beautiful and one-of-a-kind
custom build that has been very well maintained and always garaged.
