This 1939 Ford Deluxe coupe has been modified with a 1953 Mercury 255 flathead V8 built with an Isky camshaft, Edelbrock heads, Red’s headers, and dual Stromberg-style carbs mounted on an Offenhauser Super Dual intake manifold. The engine is linked to a Chevrolet S-10-sourced five-speed manual transmission, and the car rides on whitewalls mounted on 15″ artillery wheels along with front disc brakes and a drop axle. The body has been refinished with Jefferson Blue paintwork, which is complemented by tan upholstery. Acquired by its owner in 2011, this ’39 Coupe is now offered on behalf of their estate with a Florida title.

The coupe bodywork is finished in Jefferson Blue and retains steel body panels and fenders. The door window glass has delaminated on both sides and will need to be replaced.

The 15″ artillery-style steel wheels are finished in a contrasting blue and mounted with staggered whitewalls. Front disc brakes have been added, and the front end has been lowered with a drop axle.

The interior features tan upholstery with darker painted surfaces, and a floor-shifter has been installed.

A Sun-style tachometer is mounted behind the banjo wheel, and a trio of AutoMeter gauges are set in a pod below the dashboard. The seller is unsure if the 95k indicated miles are accurate.
