Vehicle Description
What an ultra-sharp pre-War cruiser! This 1940 Ford Deluxe Business Coupe is an outstanding example of its genre-defining model. Clad in gray paint that already looks sharp in its present form and can easily be taken to the next level with a little detailing work, it's chock full of vintage style. Its prominent, sculpted hood and fenders, plentiful window glass, and generous proportions combine to give this vintage Ford an identity all its own, and it has come through the decades in impressive fashion, featuring a collection of shiny brightwork, consistent body panel alignment, and expansive doors that open and close solidly. But what's equally impressive about this stylish ride is its unusually strong running condition. Yep, after 80 years of service, it's ready to hit the asphalt as soon as you bring it home.
Climb in and you'll notice just how roomy the interior is, a nice byproduct of this Ford's revolutionary single row of bench seating upon rolling off the assembly line. As it happens, that aforementioned bench seat is in fine shape, showing only the slightest of wear on its plush tan surface while looming over period-correct carpeting that still retains a nice, tight fit. The dash area, like most everything else inside the doors, still features its factory look, except for a single gauge mounted below the instrument cluster, and its overall functionality is impressive for a car from this era.
This vintage Ford offers a running condition that you don't often find in cars from this era, and, likely through careful planning and meticulous sourcing, it has been achieved while keeping an impressively authentic appearance beneath the hood, where you'll find a 239 cubic-inch flathead V8 standing by in an orderly engine compartment. This period-correct powerplant fires up eagerly and pulls with surprising power, especially given its era, combining with a 3-speed manual transmission that shifts very solidly. The steering system is another big plus, as it's unburdened by excessive slack and tracks nice and straight. And when it comes time to bring this classic to a halt, its 4-wheel drum brakes do so with no issues at all. The electrical system has been upgraded in the interest of dependability, now running on 12 volts and featuring an alternator in place of the factory-issued generator.

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $399 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
