Perpetrol is proud to offer this classic 1940 Ford Coupe—a well-maintained street rod that combines traditional styling with dependable modern performance. Restored approximately 30 years ago, this vintage Ford remains a solid cruiser with timeless curb appeal and a comfortable driving setup.
Engine & Drivetrain:
Under the hood is a Chevy 350ci small block V8 outfitted with Edelbrock Performer aluminum heads, an Edelbrock intake manifold, headers, and an electric cooling fan. The engine has a healthy rumble and likely features a cam upgrade, delivering that unmistakable hot rod sound. The power is sent through a Turbo 350 automatic transmission, offering smooth shifts for both cruising and performance driving.
Suspension & Brakes:
Up front, this '40 Ford rides on a Mustang II front suspension, providing improved handling and a smoother ride over stock. In the rear, it features a Ford 9-inch rear axle with leaf springs. Front disc brakes and rear drums ensure reliable stopping power, while power steering and power brakes add modern-day driving comfort.
Interior & Features:
This Ford Coupe is loaded with convenience options including power windows, electric gauges, and air conditioning (will need a recharge). The cabin has been tastefully updated while still retaining a clean, vintage aesthetic.
Condition:
While the restoration was completed around 30 years ago with the odometer reading 1919 miles, the paint and body have held up well and the car shows as a solid driver. There’s no indication of rust, and the body lines remain clean and straight. It’s the kind of car you can drive and enjoy as-is or upgrade further at your own pace.
Whether you're seeking a classic 1940 Ford hot rod or a well-sorted cruiser to take to local shows and weekend drives, this Coupe checks all the boxes. It’s turnkey and ready to hit the road.
