Like a magician, this car has got a few tricks up its sleeve! Supercharged 350 V8! Overdrive transmission! Air conditioning! Modern suspension! Meticulous body off frame restoration! Pay close attention to the details here. This retro rod looks pretty stock at a glance but dig deeper and discover it's a high quality custom hot rod that is begging to be driven anywhere!

EXTERIOR: All steel body, fenders etc. This is an original 1940 Ford, not a reproduction. It is 100% laser beam straight and smooth as glass. The paint was applied with expert detail the polished to a highly reflective finish. All the panels fit wonderfully, and their alignment is point on with gaps that are superb. The doors close easily with minimal effort and retain their original style handles. The cowl vent is still functional and opens easily with a lever under the dash. All the trim looks fantastic, it is straight and shiny. Custom headlight bezels have turn signals nicely built in. The bumpers have a sharp gleaming reflection that rivals a mirror. All the glass was replaced as well as the rubber seals. The welting between the fenders was also replaced. The Chevron taillights and Ford script tailpipes are gorgeous and original to this style car. The front grille is elegant and beautiful. It has the ideal stance and is sitting on a set of body color painted steel rims with a polished lip and poverty style hubcaps that have the V8 logo. They are wrapped in BFGoodrich Traction T/A Radial tires.

INTERIOR: The door jambs are very nice and the weatherstrips were replaced. It has fresh looking, original style door panels with power windows switches hidden in the original style window cranks. 5.5" speakers were added to each door. The refinished dash has a/c vents where the ashtrays would have been originally, and there is one tucked behind the original speaker grille as well. Turn signals were added to the steering column. It also has reproduction factory looking gauges with a very nostalgic and beautiful font. With just under 8,500 on the odometer this car is a proven driver. Faux wood grain on the inside window trim was beautifully executed. A modern stereo was also neatly incorporated, as well as original style knobs to control the heater and air conditioning. A boost gauge and mini tachometer are concealed in the glove box. The square loop carpeting is the original style but was replaced and looks fresh. The front bench seat was recovered in glove soft leather, as well as the 2 rear fold down jump seats. Also, the rear walls are covered in leather with 2 6x9 speakers built in. The headliner and sun visors have also been recovered. The rearview mirror was replaced. It does have the original style steering wheel, and one more trick up it's sleeve. The original "3 on the tree" has been modified to work with the 200R4 overdrive automatic transmission. It also has its original style ignition with a key to lock out the "on/off" switch plus a push button start.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine bay is very subtle looking with lots of black parts, but it has a huge surprise. The 350 V8 engine is topped off with a B&M Forced Induction supercharger! We rebuilt the Holley dual feed carburetor with electric choke. It was also upgraded with an HEI ignition and even the exhaust manifolds are coated. Everything looks so fresh and clean. The original style horns are just too cool. A fresh Walker radiator and big electronic fan keeps everything cool. Speaking of cool, the builder also added an a/c compressor on top of power steering and power brakes too. All the hoses, belts and wires look fresh, and the remaining engine bay metal was nicely painted body color.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb were neatly painted body color. Very nice square loop carpeting with a rubber trunk mat covering the floor. The battery has been concealed in an antique leather tool bag. That is just so cool, I've never seen that before. It also is equipped with a spare tire.
