Description : Gateway Classic Cars Indianapolis is proud to present this stunning 1940 Ford Resto mod Business Coupe! Every now and then one comes along with that extra bit of style and panache, and this one is it! Red ghost flames caress the familiar front fenders of this glossy black beauty, complimented by crisp chrome with its own lipstick red detail! Hidden in the hood brightwork is the âsecret' handle to open the front bonnet to reveal a fresh, powerful Chevy 350 V8 guided by a tough-as-nails TH-200-4R transmission, allowing the engines 4th gear to rotate at lower RPM than the original three-speed, saving gas and engine wear! This slightly lowered for cool appeal (but not slammed) machine has been updated with power steering, power disc brakes, all new wiring harnesses, ice-cold air-conditioning by Vintage Air, Budnick Mags, new Rack and Pinion Steering, upgraded rear end and a sharper than sharp two-tone, Red on White leather interior, including seats, headliner and door panels. The dash is crisp and elegant, with its, old-style âtac and pin' striping, chrome and aluminum appointments, and a serious tachometer for when you are doing more than the speed limit allows! The steering wheel alone, is a piece of art- A spectacular Art-Deco lacquer with reduced ribbed grips and a âV-8' etched into the horn button housing-try not to just sit and stare at it when you get in-it is truly sublime! Even the electric wipers work! But that isn't all -this has the most important feature that all serious collectors want-this bucket is steel! Front to back, chrome bumper to gleaming bumper, the burly front fenders, up over the hood and down the graceful slope of the rear deck lid and door to door- ALL CLEAN STRONG STEEL! You won't have to worry about tucking this bad-boy away for those chilly gray months either, there is a battery disconnect hidden under the front seat! This example is available for viewing exclusively at the Indianapolis showroom, housing a stunning array of muscle, exotic, classic and antique motor cars!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
