This 1940 Ford Coupe was modified in street-rod style during previous ownership and is powered by a supercharged 454ci V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear differential. The car features a reproduction fiberglass body finished in maroon over white leather upholstery, and additional equipment include 15″ WELD Racing wheels, power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes, a B&M blower, dual Holley four-barrel carburetors, coilover suspension, rear-hinged doors, a Hurst shifter, power-operated windows, a tilting steering column, and Dakota Digital instrumentation. The car was acquired by the seller in September 2021, and subsequent service is said to have included a transmission fluid flush and an oil change. This Ford coupe is offered with a clear Florida title in the seller’s name.
The reproduction fiberglass body was installed during previous ownership and is finished maroon. Features include a chrome grille, shaved door and trunk handles, rear-hinged doors, a flush-mounted fuel door, a split rear window, and dual side-exit exhaust outlets. Blemishes are shown up close in the galley below.
Polished 15″ WELD Racing billet aluminum wheels are mounted with 205/50 Goodyear Eagle GT tires up front and 29×12.50 Hoosier Pro Street tires out back. The suspension has been modified with coilover dampers, rack and pinion steering, and a four-link setup in the rear. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel discs.
The cabin features a split front bench and a rear bench trimmed in tan leather upholstery with matching door panels, a body-color dashboard, and gray carpeting and headliner. Amenities include remote door poppers, a power-adjustable front seat, power-operated windows, lap belts, floor mats, billet style door handles, rear view mirrors and pedals, and a floor mounted Hurst Pro-Matic 2 shifter. The battery is mounted beneath the rear bench seat.
The leather-wrapped billet steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and fronts a Dakota Digital gauge cluster consisting of a digital speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. A B&M boost pressure gauge is mounted beneath the dash. The digital odometer indicates under 4k miles, approximately 100 of which have been added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 454ci V8 was installed during previous ownership and features a B&M roots-style supercharger, dual Holley four-barrel carburetors, stainless headers, and chrome 454-branded valve covers. An oil change was reportedly performed in September 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed TH400 automatic transmission and an 9″ rear differential. The seller states that a transmission fluid flush was carried out in September 2021. Additional underbody photos are included in the gallery below.
