Hot rods come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors, but if we're being honest, some are better than others. When done right, a classic hot rod is a true sight to behold and gets every enthusiast within walking distance, talking and smiling without hesitation. This 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible we have for you today is one of those hot rods. Its Green Gray Metallic painted steel body and fenders sport hand-painted blue pinstripes, complementing its black convertible top and clean trim delete.
Inside, we find graphite leather seating with a pair of later-model buckets up front and a bench in back. A Lecarra steering wheel, a newer analog five-pod dashboard, and a modern stereo with Bluetooth and an iPod plug-in all adorn this hot rod's interior.
Sitting on top of its Mustang II front end, under the hood we find a GM Goodwrench 350 cubic-inch crate V-8 topped with a Holley carb and Power Plus Intake, as well as a set of shorty headers, dual exhaust, and Raptor muffler to expel spent gasses in no time. That engine is mated to a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission that sends power out to a Ford nine-inch rear end. Riding on a coil spring front and leaf spring rear suspension, this Ford has just the right stance to show off its 15-inch American Racing Torq Thurst wheels. Behind those venerable hot-rodder rims are a set of power disc brakes at both the front and rear of the car.
