Vehicle Description
1941 Ford Coupe. Here is your chance to be the next caretaker! A
complete Barron La Bonny upholstery kit was expertly installed just
before I got this car four years ago. The bodywork and paint were
done by the previous owner. The body is perfect, the paint is
driver quality, he didn't put it on wet enough, but it is very
presentable, no one has told me the painting was done poorly but it
is! This way you can have fun driving it on any road you want and
not worrying! The car is not rusted anywhere that I have seen and I
have been all over this car. Things I have done, 4 inch dropped '40
Ford front axle with GM metric disc brakes with Ford 5 on 4.5
pattern, rear pattern is the original Ford 5 on 5.5 pattern, the
spare is an original with both patterns, all 4 wheels and tires are
new, 6x16 inch Vintage steel wheels with 3 3/4" back spacing, these
wheels have safety beads, the original wheels are 4.5 inches wide
and don't have safety beads, front tires are 205/55r16, rear tires
are 205/65r16, the hub caps are '40 Ford smooth. New front spring
and new shackles on all corners with new synthetic bushings on all
8 pivot points. The brake fluid is DOT 5, that is synthetic, not my
choice (I use Dot 3 or 4) it was already in the system and when I
put the disc brakes on I didn't have time to switch. You can not
mix Dot 5 with any other. The Master cylinder is original 1941
Ford. That isn't supposed to work, but it does, come and see! The
stock spare tire isn't supposed to work on the front disc brakes
either....but it does! I have a 1 inch spacer on the rear hubs to
move the rear wheels out 1 inch. Extra paint of the black cherry is
included. The rear spring has the main leaf eyes reversed for a
1-1.5 inch drop. I installed a new Bob Drake fuel tank. The engine
is a 85 horsepower 24 stud 221 cubic inch original type flathead, I
didn't build it, the previous owner did and he has passed, it runs
perfectly, it sounds like a mild cam (just guessing) the 4 barrel
intake.
