The 1940 Ford Convertible Coupe is widely regarded as the crown jewel of pre-war Ford design--a masterpiece of Art Deco styling that features the iconic chevron taillights, teardrop headlight bezels, and the deeply veined grille that defined a generation. It was the final, triumphant expression of style before the world descended into war, and it remains one of the most sought-after silhouettes in the collector car hobby. While many are restored to stock or built as fiberglass replicas, this example stands apart as a rarity in the modern market: it is an all-steel example, retaining its original metal body and fenders. It is a high-level "restomod" that respects the integrity of the original 1940 design while completely modernizing the mechanical footprint to deliver supercar-level performance. The cocktail gets more potent--and significantly louder--when you lift the hood. Gone is the flathead V-8, replaced by a massive 454-cubic-inch HO Big Block V-8. Rated at 425 horsepower, this powerplant offers a tidal wave of torque that effortlessly motivates the coupe. The engine bay itself is a work of art, fully finished and housing a dressed engine that gleams with polished components. This brute force is channeled through a robust Turbo 400 automatic transmission to a Corvette independent rear suspension. However, the undercarriage is where this build truly distinguishes itself as a show-winner; the rear end is a display of automotive jewelry, featuring chrome half shafts, chrome springs, chrome shocks, chrome strut rods, and even a chrome driveshaft. The fuel system is equally refined, boasting a polished stainless steel gas tank plumbed with braided stainless lines. The example offered here is finished in stunning PPG Blood Red with a deep clearcoat--a color that perfectly highlights the laser-straight bodywork. The gap integrity throughout the car is described as near-perfect, a testament to the rust-free, all-steel nature of the body. It is topped by a pristine Black Hartz cloth convertible top featuring chrome irons and a chopped center bow for a sleeker profile; notably, the top has never been put up during the current ownership, preserving its condition. When the top is down, the look is cleaned up by a boot featuring hidden snaps all the way around. Inside, the cabin is a masterclass in custom upholstery. It features Titanium Grey solid and perforated Ultra Leather, accented with striking Torch Red highlights that tie the interior to the exterior finish. The ergonomics have been thoughtfully modified, with both the driver and passenger seats relocated rearward to comfortably accommodate a taller driver (up to 6'3"). Crucially, this vehicle comes with a provenance that matches its build quality. It has been under the stewardship of a dedicated car collector for nearly 20 years. As a result, the sale includes a comprehensive dossier of receipts and documentation spanning this two-decade period, offering the new owner a complete picture of the care and investment lavished upon this vehicle. From the polished stainless tank to the immaculate chrome suspension, this 1940 Ford is a no-compromise build that marries the most beautiful shape of the pre-war era with the reliability, comfort, and thunderous performance of a modern street machine.
