Ford De Luxe Sedan 383 V8 1940

General description : This 1940 Ford Deluxe tudor sedan instantly announces its something special with its high-gloss finish. And as you check out all the details, it reveals a strong stroker motor, upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, a comfy A/C interior, and a ton more quality investments that you want in a vintage machine that has a ton of modern cruiser appeal.
The black cherry paint sets the tone perfectly for this car. It has the boldness you love of a red, and there's even a metallic element to really let it radiate in the sunshine. But the deeper tone also lets you know this is more sophisticated than you average street machine. The whole car was part of a frame-off restoration complete in 2009, and we have $50k in receipts showing the big investment. There was $10k in work on the paint alone, and when you pay for quality, it truly lasts. That's why this has such a smooth and deep luster. Rivaling the paint for shine is a solid investment in all the best brightwork pieces like the pointed grille, full-length side trim, curved chrome bumpers, and iconic teardrop headlight bezels. And while the paint already announced this is an updated machine, the big 17-inch American Racing Salt Flat wheels sit on a lowered suspension to give this an awesome stance that can't help by get your performance heart racing.
We love the little details on this one that pay tribute to its history. For example, the interior still retains plush button-top seating that you'd expect from the 1940s. Even the side panels have been done to match. While the look is vintage, the soft velour upholstery is a far fresher experience. It's a similar feeling when you hop into the driver's seat. You still have the original-style dash. But the upgraded sports steering wheel on a tilt column gives you a clear view to the well-integrated Classic Instruments full gauge package. This makes for a nice updated driving experience. And that gets downright comfy when you spot upgrades like the cold-blowing R134a air conditioning and AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input to accommodate the most modern music players.
Under the hood is a tidy small block stroker motor. This 383 cubic-inch V8 reflects this car's big investments, and so it's enhanced and fortified with a SCAT 400 crank, Eagle rods, King main bearings, Speed Pro pistons, Moly rings, Comp Cams camshaft, and DART 202 heads. Plus, you have a Holley four-barrel carburetor, mid-rise intake, and headers adding to this powerful package. It's supported by the right pieces, including an MSD ignition and an aluminum radiator with electric fan. While you're checking out all the hardware on this one, don't forget about the undercarriage photos. There you'll see more great upgrades, like a strong fully boxed frame, tubular control arms up front, a four-link rear, and adjustable coilovers. The three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and upgraded a four-wheel power disc brakes are all part of this total package to make it a great anytime driver.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and build receipts documenting the full restoration. This is a quality package that's made to be enjoyed. So if you love power and poise, call today!

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
