1940 #Ford #Coupe SOLD | 137016

Head-Turning Custom Coupe LS1 V8 Automatic Wild Rod Body A/C /// Sourced from Wild Rods of Granada Hills, California, this hot coupe’s quality fiberglass body was super clean before its high-dollar build even started. But nonetheless, the car was subjected to a full, ground-up massage that included hours of labor-intensive prep. Naturally, that dramatic attention to detail was highlighted in equally dramatic two-stage. And today, with an undeniable nod to timeless Ford design, this classic rolls as a banner show piece that celebrates the best virtues of modern street rodding. Take a peek under this classic’s electric hood and you’ll find 5.7 liters of stout LS1 that twists solid power into effortless torque. Behind that reliable small block, a tough 4L60E 4-speed deals power to a proven Ford 9-inch. That first class axle pushes a custom chassis on a tubular 4-link that’s finished with modern coil-over-shocks. At the front of that caged and boxed skeleton, a predictable Mustang II-style front-clip centers power rack-and-pinion steering between modern bags and tubular control arms. Serious stops are provided by four power-assisted discs. And at the corners, chromed bonspeed blades spin 225/40ZR18 Goodyears in front of 295/40ZR20 Continentals. Pop the car’s predictable Coach Doors and you’ll reveal a custom-tailored cabin that’s both stylish and comfortable. Contoured buckets stretch tight leather under two-point belts. A conservative dash hangs bright TPI-Tech Instrumentation above modern Kenwood audio and Vintage Air climate control. A booted Lokar shifter rides a flowing console that’s garnished with a sculpted armrest and switches for modern power windows. And the driver spins a polished and leather-wrapped steering wheel around a polished, tilting column. Whether you’re a diehard street rod fan, or a just casual enthusiast looking for a choice classic, this fanciful Ford is a great fit! Call, click or visit for more information!
