Ford Coupe 350 V8 1940
General description :
SHOW READY, STEEL BODY, 350 V8, 700R4, R134AC, HEIDTS, PS, DISC, 1 OF A KIND, A+
This is custom-crafted Henry Ford steel massaged into a custom creation we all wished they created. But more than just its silhouette, this 1940 Ford Coupe Deluxe will amaze you with its powerful V8, upgraded chassis, and custom A/C interior. So yes, this one-of-a-kind is also the total package.
We all wish this machine existed from the factory. It takes the last pre-war Ford design and expertly combines it with the three-window coupe from of its predecessor. So this is both a classic and a one-of-a-kind. You get the legendary '40 Ford front end with its bold pointed tip leading the way. But the best part is the profile. The long trunk looks like it was stretched out in a high-performance wind. And the crafted steel roof with round doors will have people wow'd from the moment they come into sight. The custom look is highlighted further by plenty of clearcoat glow from the modern Ford shade of Orange Crush Pearl. It goes nicely with the bright US Mags alloys that are staggered 17/18-inches front/rear to add both shine and aggression. Plus, the shaved door handles, sport mirrors, flush gas cap, and more mean people will love even the details of the unique machine.
Pop the remote door openers, and the suicide doors reveal a full custom presentation. The exterior orange returns as an accent, and now it's joined by a tasteful two-tone tan. You can easily no expense was spared, because when you close the door, the custom panels seamlessly flow to the dash like the best award-worthy customs do. You have all the best amenities like power windows, AM/FM/CD stereo, and R134a air conditioning. There's even a power lift for the for the trunk lid so you can show off how it fully matches the interior. More than just look amazing, this is a full driver's machine with a leather and chrome sports steering wheel, tilt column, and a full set of VDO gauges.
Grab your sunglasses before popping the hood, because nearly every component has a show-ready shine. And that's amplified further by the bright metal fender walls and custom Ford Deluxe slam panel. More than just look great, this 350 cubic-inch crate V8 inhales deeply through an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and exhales from the rumbling dual exhaust. And while you're checking out those pipes, don't forget to spot the best street machine equipment, like the Heidts tubular independent front end, front disc brakes, and the super strong custom chassis. Plus, it's easy to show off this custom coupe near or far with great driving features like power steering and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. There's even a Walker aluminum radiator w/electric fan to keep it all running cool even in traffic.
The sale comes complete with restoration photos, detailed buildsheet, and even a Hemmings feature story! Rarely do you get a chance at a one-of-a-kind machine, so don't miss this unique icon. Call today!!!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
