5.0-Liter HO V8 Three-Speed Manual Transmission Red Paint Tan Cloth Upholstery 16" Steel Wheels w/Whitewalls Front Disc Brakes
This 1940 Ford Standard coupe was acquired from its original owner in 1990 according to the seller, who notes his father then commissioned refurbishment work and modifications on a rotisserie by Jerry McCarthy of Newark, Delaware that was completed in 1992.
The car was repainted GM Flame Red Metallic, a tan mohair interior was sourced from LeBaron Bonney, and a 5.0-liter HO V8 from a 1992 Mustang GT was installed along with Mustang-sourced front disc brakes.
The three-speed manual transmission was also overhauled with Zephyr gearing, and the rear end received a 3.78 differential.
The battery, fuel pump, and ignition components were replaced in 2025.
This ’40 Coupe is now offered by the seller on behalf of his father with a clean New Jersey title.
The steel body and fenders were repainted GM Flame Red Metallic in 1992 as part of a rotisserie refurbishment....
