1940 Ford Coupe 177 Miles Red Coupe 350ci RamJet V8 4 Speed Automatic

Mixing a Ramjet small block with substantial drivetrain upgrades and a comfortable custom interior, this well-built Ford is a heck of a lot more fun than a restored-to-original car. And if you're looking for a great combination of timeless style and modern performance, it's a choice classic that simply can't be beat! The beneficiary of a professional, ground-up restoration that was commissioned by a previous owner, this coupe looks supremely handsome dressed in creamy Volvo Mellandrod Red 2-stage. Toss the... hood and you'll find 350 cubic inches of reliable Chevrolet small block that's been painted, polished and fitted with GM Performance Parts ramjet induction. That compact motor twists a predictable 700R4 4-speed, which spins a 9-inch Ford axle. That tough pumpkin is an integral part of a sturdy aftermarket frame. Those bones roll on an upgraded rear-clip, which swaps a factory transverse leaf for a thick sway bar, adjustable QA-1 shocks and modern, parallel leaves. That hardware is tracked by a familiar Mustang II front-half, which centers power rack-and-pinion steering between a second sway bar, polished control arms and modern coil-over-shocks. Quick stops are a cinch thanks to power-assisted Wilwood calipers, which squeeze a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. And at the corners, attractive Billet Specialties wheels spin smooth Nexen radials. Between the doors, you'll find a custom leather interior that was installed by Dave's Auto Trim of Morganton, North Carolina. Plush bucket seats feature full power adjustment for the car's driver and passenger. In front of those thrones, a classy dash hangs hardware for modern climate control beneath upgraded telemetry. And the driver minds the lines through a tilting Grant banjo-style steering wheel. If you're looking for an exceptionally nice cruiser that's twice as much fun, and twice as reliable as an all-original roller, you're looking at your next classic! Call, click or visit for more info.
