Up for auction is my 1940 Ford Standard Two Door Sedan. This is a genuine Henry Ford steel bodied car. It runs and drives great, with no known mechanical or electrical problems. It is a very reliable, comfortable, and safe driver - not a trailer queen. I have a clear NC title in hand, which lists the car as a 1940 Ford. I have owned the car since Feb 2004. I spent the first two or three years debugging electrical and mechanical problems. In 2006 I drove the car from Dallas, TX to Raleigh, NC having no problems. Since then I have driven it to local car shows (low miles). I am selling the car because I rarely use it (I have other toys, too). Body -- All steel, all original Henry Ford

I bought this car 14 years ago, cosmetically as you see it. So the paint is at least that old. Although still smooth and glossy, the paint is starting to show it age. I have touched up multiple road rash chips in front. On close inspection the paint is checking in several small areas. If you are fussy about paint, you may want to respray the car in the future. But I have priced the car to allow for this.
