Vehicle Description
Run Day - Saturday May 31, 2025
The 1940 Ford is the most attractive models made in both passenger
car and pickup truck form. This example started as an excellent,
original two-owner vehicle complete with the original bill of sale
from 1940. The body was removed and taken down to bare metal, found
to be in excellent condition and finished in Royal Blue with black
fenders. The interior is wonderful, with upholstery completed in
two shades of grey material and it further sports a modern Alpine
AM/FM/CD system with Kicker speakers. The bed and hardware, as well
as a custom travel trunk, are finished in oak and several coats of
Velspar varnish. A vintage Canadian flathead block was sourced,
ported and it features an Isky cam, Edelbrock hi-comp polished
aluminum heads, new Stromberg 97 carburetor, Mallory ignition and a
3.78 rear end. A 12-volt system was implemented with a 50 amp
alternator and all new Stewart-Warner gauges. With custom speed
equipment, loads of hand-applied pinstripes and a show-ready
finish, this retro 1940 Ford truck lacks nothing.
