This 1940 Ford Deluxe coupe was refurbished in approximately 2004 and is powered by a 454ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car is finished in orange with flame graphics over tan leather upholstery. Additional equipment includes a Holley carburetor, a Tuff Stuff alternator, a Walker radiator, American Racing wheels, power rack-and-pinion steering, front disc brakes, a painted grille, air conditioning, and power windows. The car was recently acquired by the seller, and the tires were reportedly replaced and fluid services were performed in preparation for the sale. This Deluxe coupe is now offered with a conditional Georgia title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in orange with contrasting flame-style graphics and chrome trim. The bumpers have been removed, and additional details include a split windshield and rear window, a painted grille, body-color running boards, quadruple side mirrors, and dual polished exhaust outlets.
Five-spoke staggered-diameter American Racing wheels are mounted with 185/70 front and 285/70 rear General Altimax tires. The car is equipped with power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and adjustable coilover front suspension. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.
The replacement bucket seats are trimmed in tan leather upholstery and feature flame-style stitching on the headrests. Appointments include power windows, orange lap belts, air conditioning, a fire extinguisher, and aftermarket speakers. The seller states the stereo works intermittently.
The banjo-style three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a replacement tilting column and frames VDO instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer and supplementary gauges. A Sunpro tachometer is mounted below the dashboard. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 28k miles, a handful of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 454ci V8 was installed during the refurbishment and is fitted with a Tuff Stuff alternator, a Walker radiator, and a Holley carburetor with an electric choke. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery.
A VIN of 18-5757378 is shown on the replacement tag above, which matches the VIN on the current conditional Georgia title.
