WE BUY CARS!

We have something extremely special here at Motoexotica Classic Cars and very proud to offer this real deal survivor 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible Club coupe that has been stored away since 1956! This original Ford comes from the same family as our survivor 1968 Shelby GT-500 came from in Greenville, Ohio. Many of the pre-war Ford V8 vehicles have been heavily modified in modern times by hot rodders. This is one of the very few that have escaped their grips and has remained in original condition. The last time this Ford was ever offered up for sale was in 1956!

For more about this Ford's colorful history: http://www.motoexotica.com/inventory/...

This Deluxe is very straight and complete with its original parts and trim. The maroon exterior is in overall good condition for the age, we believe the paint is not factory original but was resprayed with its original color back in the early 1950's. The original windows are in good order but have some de-lamination due to the age and the lights and lenses are in great original condition. All the trim pieces and sheetmetal around the exterior all appear to be still original, even the rubber covering on the running boards are still original!

The original soft top is in great condition for being 79 years old and still has the original leather Ford edge strips, it is in usable condition and the frame goes up and down easily.

Under the hood is Ford’s famous Deluxe 01A 85HP 221 CID Flathead V-8 engine and is original to this car, mated to a sliding gear, three-speed manual transmission, controlled by a lever on the steering column, which was new for 1940. When we acquired this car it had not ran since 1975 but the motor was free. We replaced all the ignition parts and the Ford fired right up! The brakes were completely out so we rebuilt the hydraulic brakes completely. Currently this old survivor Ford actually runs and drives beautifully and is a real time machine and pleasure to drive!

Interior photos show the complete original interior that has soft pliable original seats with period correct aftermarket seat covers. The red bench seats are in fair original shape, as is the car’s carpet and still retains the original Ford plastic mats. The metal instrument panel, two-spoke steering wheel and inner door panels are all in good original condition but the original fuel gauge is inoperable. The mirror glass and shift lever are in good original order.

If you're looking for a very good example of the Iconic 1940 Ford Convertible that is a true historical survivor, this is an ideal example and will be your only opportunity to own one! Believed to be one of the most original survivor 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible Club known to exist!

This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 47,496 miles and we believe the mileage could be actual. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
