OVERVIEW
This modified 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe has received several custom exterior, interior, and suspension modifications. It is powered by a fuel-injected Chevrolet LT1 5.7-liter V8 backed by a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission. Features include 2004 Mercedes-Benz headlights, shaved bumpers, shaved door handles, reshaped body-color running boards, a power trunk lid, power windows, a Vintage Air climate control system, power steering, a digital AM/FM/CD stereo with an amplifier, Dakota Digital LCD gauges, an Air Ride Technologies adjustable air suspension, and disc brakes. Finished in Cobalt Blue Candy over a beige vinyl interior, this Ford comes from the selling dealer with a clear title.

@Coopster – I can’t believe this car is going to sell at $50k, maybe a little bit more at the last minute. You can’t build one for that money. Someone is getting a great deal! ...
It’s not selling Sir. There is a reserve that isn’t close to even meeting

This is a high end six figure build that is selling for half of what it cost to build. It is definitely a breath taking car that looks just as good in person as it does in the pictures.

@LuckyDucky – Is this a driver or is it just for show? ...
It is definitely a show car, but you can if you want to drive it. The current owner drove it to my showroom, which is over two hours away. So, if you are asking if it gets driven, the answer is yes.
