This 1940 Mercury custom convertible underwent extensive
modifications, including body removal, frame blasting, boxing and
the addition of a Mustang II front end. It is powered by a cammed
LS1 Corvette 350ci V8 engine equipped with C&C ported heads, a
Sniper EFI intake, heavy-duty valve springs and a Billet
Specialties billet drive system. The engine pairs with a 4L60E
4-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 8.8-inch Truetrac rear
end with 3.73 gears. The suspension system features
four-link/coilovers, tubular A-arms, adjustable shocks, Wilwood
11.76-inch front disc brakes, rear Wilwood disc brakes and Flaming
River power rack & pinion steering. Additional features include a
water pump, alternator, power steering pump and a Vintage Air
system. The body incorporates widened rear fenders, tubbed inner
fenders and custom running boards inspired by 1936-47 Lincoln turn
indicators. A custom Haartz fabric top with stainless-steel
clampdowns and pins was installed. The car rides on Budnik wheels,
17x8-inch front and 18x10-inch rear, wrapped in Nitto tires. The
custom interior features Dynamat lining throughout, a
computer-designed and milled billet aluminum dashboard with Classic
Instruments gauges tilted toward the driver, and leather bucket
seats by Jose Cubic Interiors. The rear seat and trunk were fully
customized to match the red and black theme. The LED accent
lighting, bound red carpets and 1941 Mercury power windows in
custom stainless vent assemblies complete the design. The vehicle's
stereo system features 6.5-inch Hertz front speakers, 6x9-inch rear
speakers and 1,000-watt Audison amplifiers for outstanding sound
quality. Blending classic aesthetics with modern performance and
technology, the entire car, including the dashboard, was painted in
shiny black in 2021. **TITLED AS 1940 MERCURY SPECON** ** PREVIEW
