LISTED JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING IS A 1940 FORD STANDARD COUPE THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH. THE CAR STARTED OUT AS A SUPER SOLID STEEL BODY ONLY NEEDING MINOR METAL REPLACEMENT(LOWER TAILPAN AND TWO TINY PATCHES ONE ON EACH LOWER QUARTER AND 6"X 6" FLOOR PATCH BEHIND PASSENGER SEAT). THE METAL FENDERS,DOORS,HOOD AND DECKLID WERE ALL SOLID AS A ROCK.THE PAINT IS BEAUTIFUL. THE FRAME WAS NEAR PERFECT ONLY NEEDING CLEANING AND PAINTING.ALL RELATED SUSPENSION COMPONENTS WERE RUST FREE WITHOUT PITTING. BECAUSE OF THIS ,I DECIDED TO PUT TOGETHER A LATE 50'S-EARLY 60'S STYLE CAR WAS MADE ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT THE CAR WAS A STREET ROD IN IT'S PAST BECAUSE OF THE INTERIOR THAT WAS STILL IN IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THE BRAND NEW INTERIOR BY JASON BECK IN MEDINA ,OHIO IS AN EXACT COPY OF WHAT WAS FOUND IN IT(MUST HAVE BEEN A STREET ROD). THE SUSPENSION IS ALL STOCK WITH THE ONLY CHANGES BEING A POSIES FRONT SPRING WITH SLIGHT LOWERING AND GAS SHOCKS FRONT AND REAR. ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW WHICH INCLUDE TIEROD ENDS AND KINGPINS.THE CAR HAS THE WIDE 5 DRUMS ALL AROUND THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH WITH THE WIDE 5 FORD WHEELS WITHOUT CAPS. THE TIRES ARE BRAND NEW BIASED-PLY WIDE WHITE COKERS.THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN TOTALLY GONE THROUGH WITH NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS, BRAKE PADS AND LINES AND UPGRADED TO DUAL MASTER CYLINDER. THE CAR RETAINS A 1940 BANJO REAREND THAT WAS ALSO GONE THROUGH AND HAD NEW BEARINGS AND SEALS INSTALLED. SINCE THE CAR DIDN'T COME WITH AN ENGINE I DECIDED TO GO WITH A NEW GM CRATE MOTOR 290HP AND DRESS IT UP LIKE A LATE 50'S 283 OUT OF A VETTE. THE ENGINE IS TUNED PERFECTLY AND RUNS GREAT.THE STARTER IS REBUILT,AS IS THE GENERATOR AND CARBURETOR.THE ENGINE IS MOUNTED IN PLACE WITH A HURST ENGINE MOUNT. THE ENGINE IS BOLTED TO AN OFFENHAUSER BELLHOUSING ADAPTER TO THE 1940 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE TRANS HAS BEEN REBUILT AND SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. THE RADIATOR IS A BRAND NEW ALUMINUM STYLE BUT HAS BEEN PAINTED TO BLEND IN. ALL GLASS ,WEATHERSTRIPPING AND RUBBER IS NEW. BASICALLY IT IS LIKE NEW.TRY AND HAVE ONE BUILT THIS NICE FOR THE STARTING BID PRICE.ONE THIS NICE IF YOU LIKE THE OLD STYLE LOOK AND FEEL OF THESE CARS THEN PLACE YOUR BIDS!
