This is a cool car! Restored to show and go condition. All steel
original 40 Ford with tasteful vintage style modifications. Under
the hood you will find a performance Flathead V-8 that runs smooth.
It has also been upgraded with a 12 volt system, power disc brakes
and seatbelts. High quality throughout!
EXTERIOR: Beautiful all steel body with no rust or damage straight
and it is straight as an arrow. The doors shut like new! The cowl
vent still opens. Painted black with a mirror finish, new welting
between the fenders. It looks like all the chrome has been replaced
or restored, it has an optional bumper guard in front. Nice red
details throughout. It has the correct ribbed rubber on the running
boards. The convertible top is a rich black canvas in excellent
shape, it also has a matching boot. This car looks great with the
top up or down. The windshields have been replaced. It is sitting
on some good-looking red rims with Ford deluxe trim. Those are
wearing radial white walls, fatter in back for a great stance.
INTERIOR: Professionally installed interior looks great! It feels
great too, the seats were rebuilt and recushioned. The red
Naugahyde upholstery was installed and stitched really well.
Matching door panels look just as great and has original style
handles that matches the exterior molding. Matching upholstered
visors. It also has seat belts front and back for the family. I'm
looking at a very clean dash. The instrument cluster is mint, the
metal is painted real nice, knobs are excellent. It has a clean
deluxe steering wheel, the 3-speed on the column has a cool eight
ball knob. There's a modern temperature gauge mounted below the
dash. Nice cut carpet with bound edges.
MOTOR COMPARTMENT: Wow, this is very cool! It has an old school
high performance Flathead V8. It's rebuilt with finned aluminum
Edelbrock heads, an aluminum Edelbrock intake with triple carbs
wearing cool forward facing aluminum air cleaners. It looks fresh
as can be, all the components look like new including the fuel
pump, distributor, coil etc. I like the polished tubes over the
plug wires and the polished radiator tubes. It stays cool with an
aluminum radiator, an engine fan and an auxiliary electric fan.
Upgraded to a 12 volt system with an alternator which is a big
improvement. It gives stronger cranking power and brighter
lights.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is boxed and upholstered to match the
interior with a carpeted floor. It looks great, very well done.
UNDERSIDE: It looks great under here too! The chassis components
are solid and have been cleaned up and painted a semi-gloss black.
The floors are in excellent shape whit a thin undercoat. The dual
exhaust has vintage style Smithy mufflers. The front end has been
rebuilt and upgraded with a sway bar. The rear suspension was also
redone and has new shocks. Upgraded with a power front disc brake
system, the lines were replaced, and the e-brake is hooked up.
Looking up at the motor it is fresh, so is the 3-speed manual
trans.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and repaired the vacuum wiper motor,
replace the fuel sending unit, lower window channel and both
mufflers.
I truly love this car! I'm attracted to the looks, I think the
vintage custom touches are very cool the quality sealed the deal
for me.

to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
