| 1940 Ford Coupe |
| What do you get when you combine the smooth aesthetics of a show-worthy street rod with the spry spirit of a modern-day muscle car? This incredible Ford custom! With the universal appeal of high dollar eye candy, and the road going prowess of a fully sorted cruiser, this slick business coupe is a unique, well-built classic that provides its owner with the best of both worlds. And what's better: you can have your showstopper and drive it today too! Avocado Green A head-turning street rod that's dashed with a fair amount of muscle car swagger, this all-steel Ford features a detailed, custom appearance that's highlighted by a spectacular coat of custom Avocado Green 2-stage paint. The striking color wraps a subtly modified profile that, during its ground-up restoration, was stripped bare and lovingly massaged to form. And today, this classic rolls as one lights-out head turner that's virtually guaranteed to make you weak in the knees! There really isn't much you can do to make an early '40s Ford more attractive. The car's streamlined styling was a homerun when originally introduced; and today, it's a stunning example of some of the strongest elements of the highly regarded Art Deco movement. At the front of this cherry custom, broad fenders center a sectioned and pinched hood above a sleek custom split front bumper and modern LED lighting. The straight sides of the car were smoothed by the removal of mirrors, and door handles, and further accentuated by the addition of custom formed polished aluminum trim. Out back frenched Corvette taillights compliment custom exhaust tips, and a custom tail pan replaces the rear bumper. A perfect stance is highlighted by timeless Halibrand wheels, 3-bar spinners, and BFGoodrich rubber. LS2 Power It's obvious this sedan was built to be driven and seen. And nowhere is that more evident than under the hood, where you'll find 6 liters of modern Chevrolet power. A modern electronically fuel injected LS2 V8 is the center piece of the smoothed and polished engine compartment. Stainless steel headers, bright accessories, and a polished aluminum radiator add a further touch of pizzaz. SEAMLESS UPGRADES Take a long look under this classic and you'll find a roster of significant modifications that add up to impressive dynamics and big performance gains. The powerful LS2 V8 utilizes a overdrive automatic transmission to twist a tough Ford 9-inch that's built with a posi-traction differential. That axle pushes a full custom Fat Man boxed and powder-coated chassis, which plants independent front suspension finished with a polished sway bar, polished control arms and adjustable coil-over-shocks. Turns come courtesy of power rack-and-pinion steering. Stops are quick and precise thanks to clean lines and a quartet of billet aluminum calipers. Spent gases are managed by polished stainless steel pipes which make excellent use of Thrush mufflers. And power pounds the pavement through polished Halibrand wheels, which spin 165/15 BF Goodrichs in front of 275/60R15 BF Goodrichs out back. DELUXE DE LUXE There's no shortage of street rods with custom interiors, but a classic this cool always stands out! The car's custom cockpit kicks off with modern bucket seats that are covered in a sea of plush Ultra Leather. In front of those seats, a smoothed dash houses controls for Vintage Air conditioning behind an array of centered Dakota Digital gauges. Speaking of convenience, a custom console plants a custom shifter between a sophisticated touch screen audio system and switches for modern power windows. The driver spins a reduced diameter steering wheel around a sleek tilting column. And detailing is on point, with modern carpet, billet handles and billet pedals complementing items like new wiring, additional sound deadening insulation, and a remote entry system.
