For Sale: 1940 Ford Sedan in Mansfield, Texas

1940 Ford Sedan

Every classic car enthusiast has their favorite but many have argued that the best looking Ford ever produced came in 1940. With their rounded fenders and unique pointed nose incorporated a more streamlined yet luxurious modern look. With WWII right around the corner they are often considered the pinnacle of pre-war car design before production eventually would be halted due to the war efforts. Although intended as family cars these also had a unique history with early moonshiners due to their speed and large cargo capacity. This neat '40 is the 2 Door Sedan body style and is a nice cruiser with more modern street rod components being hidden under a subtle stock looking exterior. Paint/body is in good shape and the Gloss Black paint is a perfect color for these cars. It is the Standard model so has the vertical multi piece grill that is painted to match. All of the original style trim and bumpers have a nice shine and it has swan neck adjustable mirrors on each side. The iconic tear drop headlights have nice chrome bezels and it also has the bumper mounted fog lights and rear "Chevron" taillights. The glass is all good throughout and it has the 2 piece front windshield with windshield wipers. It rides on Vintique steel wheels that are painted Red and fitted with V8 hubcaps and beauty rings. The car has a very classy look with no over the top indicators from the outside that it isn't stock.

However, that is not the case because under the hood is a 350ci V8 motor and mechanically it has all been redone. It has been fitted with polished finned valve covers, an Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, chrome alternator, chrome AC compressor, filled oil pan, and chrome air cleaner so it is all show ready. It is kept running cool with an aftermarket aluminum radiator combined with electric fans. It sounds good through ceramic coated manifolds into a new dual exhaust system. Combined with the motor is a Turbo 350 automatic transmission that transfers power back to the 9 inch Ford rear end. Power disc brakes have been added under all four corners as well as front/rear sway bars. It has a lowered front spring and dropped front axle which is all from Pete & Jakes. It has been set up to be a nice cruiser and drives great!

The interior of the car is done in a tan color and is the original style cloth. It has a split bench up front and full bench in rear so is very roomy and can get your whole family out to the show. The door panels have been kept very clean with only the chrome door handles and window cranks. The dash has been kept very stock with its original gauges, knobs, and switches but the Vintage AC controls have been mounted below the dash along with adjustable vents and aftermarket temperature and oil pressure gauges. In the trunk you will find the battery has been relocated in a vintage Jack Daniels wood box.

This is one cool classic that has a lot going for it. It combines a very cool stock appearance with a modern drivetrain so it is ready to hit the street and show off!

It is being offered up at the very reasonable price of $29,500.00!
