This 1940 Ford coupe was modified circa 2001, according to the seller, with work that involved repainting the body in black as well as installing a 383ci stroker V8 that is topped with triple Demon two-barrel carburetors and linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear end. The chassis has been modified with a Mustang II-style front suspension with rack-and-pinion steering as well as a rear ladder bar setup with adjustable coilovers and power-assisted front disc brakes. Inside, the bolstered Tea’s Design seat is trimmed in tan leather and accompanied by a tilt steering column, AutoMeter gauges, Vintage Air climate control, and a JVC CD stereo. Additional equipment includes smooth fiberglass running boards, peep mirrors, 14″ American Racing wheels, and a dual exhaust system with block-hugger headers and Flowmaster Hushpower mufflers. This ’40 Ford street rod was purchased by the seller in 2025 and is now offered with a Florida title.
The body has been finished in black and features hidden door hinges, smooth fiberglass running boards, pillarless windshield glass, peep mirrors, and chrome bumpers.
The car rides on a Mustang II-style front suspension, along with a rear ladder-bar setup with adjustable coilovers. It features rack-and-pinion steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. Polished 14″ American Racing wheels are wrapped in 205/75 Kumho front and 225/70 Firestone rear tires. The brake master cylinder was replaced in 2025.
The cabin houses a Tea’s Design seat with split bolstered seat backs trimmed in tan leather along with coordinated door panels and rear trim panels. A JVC stereo is mounted in the glove box, and the car has a Vintage Air climate control system.
The banjo-style steering wheel is mounted on a tilting column and frames a set of AutoMeter gauges consisting of a 120-mph speedometer and readouts for voltage, water temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 1,700 miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The Chevrolet 383ci stroker V8 features Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads and triple Demon two-barrel carburetors with a firewall-mounted fuel distribution block and red fuel hoses.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear end with a limited-slip differential. Block-hugger headers feed into a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster Hushpower mufflers. The seller notes that the chassis was sourced from Pete & Jake’s Hot Rod Parts of Peculiar, Missouri.
The reproduction serial number tag is stamped 185745831, which corresponds with the VIN listed on the Florida registration.
There a lien on the car, and the seller’s lender will need to be paid off before the title can be transferred to a new owner.
