This 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe is said to have been modified in street-rod style in the early 2000s under prior ownership, and it is powered by a 221ci flathead V8 linked to a five-speed manual transmission and a Speedway rear axle. The car is finished in black over red and black upholstery, and a refurbishment in 2020 saw the addition of upgraded suspension components, chassis reinforcements, four-wheel disc brakes, and a Pioneer CD stereo. Other features include Offenhauser cylinder heads, chrome engine components, chrome bumpers and trim, chrome American Racing 15″ wheels, a heater, a battery-powered clock, a Hurst shifter, a Sunpro tachometer, and rear seats. This modified Ford was acquired by the selling dealer in May 2022 and is now offered with a Pennsylvania title.

The car is said to have been repainted black in the early 2000s. Features include chrome bumpers and trim, a split rear window, side moldings, side mirrors, running boards, halogen headlights, turn signals, chevron-shaped taillights, and dual exhaust outlets.

Chrome-finished staggered-width American Racing 15″ wheels are mounted with 205/60 front and 235/70 rear General Altimax RT43 tires. A refurbishment carried out in 2020 reportedly involved the installation of tubular chassis reinforcements, four-wheel disc brakes, and upgraded rear suspension components.

The cabin features a front bench seat trimmed in red vinyl with black inserts accented by matching door panels and a red-painted dashboard. Features include inward-facing rear jump seats, red carpeting and floor mats, a Hurst shifter, a revolver-inspired shift knob, a heater, a Pioneer CD stereo, and a battery-powered analog clock housed in the glovebox door.

The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal 100-mph speedometer as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and battery status. A Sunpro tachometer is fitted to the steering column, and the five-digit odometer shows 42k miles. True mileage is unknown.

The replacement 221ci flathead V8 features dual carburetors, oil-bath air cleaners, Offenhauser cylinder heads, a red-finished block, and chrome dress-up components.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a replacement Tremec five-speed manual transmission and a Speedway rear axle. The car is equipped with a replacement driveshaft and a wrapped exhaust system.

The VIN indicated on the title and stamped on the frame is consistent with the Ford Motor Company’s standards for a 1940 Deluxe.

The Pennsylvania title carries an “Antique Vehicle” brand and notes that the car is exempt from odometer disclosure.
