Vehicle Description
This show-stopping, sinister 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible is the epitome of a grown-up hotrod. No gaudy flames, no goofy body mods, no obnoxious exhaust, just a show-quality custom build that likely cost thousands more than the asking price that delivers a professional level of performance and curb appeal. With a powerful 350 V8 under the hood, an upgraded sports suspension featuring power 4-wheel disc brakes, a luxurious black leather interior, and a super-slick, steel body covered in gallons of elegant black paint, this all-time favorite hotrod was built to show-or-go, and it does it all in a very BIG way.
Everybody loves the iconic 1940 Ford, so much so that they're still cranking out fiberglass replicas today. Fortunately, this one has a steel body and fenders, so it feels incredibly substantial and was put together by professionals so it looks loads better than it did when it was new. The pointed hood and grille are icons in the hobby and despite the amazing build and practically flawless performance of this car, they decided to keep things low-key and let the paint do all the talking. When it comes to a black finish, you better ensure the body is laser-straight and free of flaws because dark colors are very unforgiving when it comes to poor prep-work, and it's obvious the builders spent countless hours getting this one lined up just right. It's been driven and enjoyed since the restoration was completed, so it's no longer perfect, but any imperfections are very minor and can barely be seen by the naked eye. The miles-deep, shiny black finish accentuates the Ford's generous curves without hiding anything, and the traditional color will never look dated and always bring out the crowds. That's good news, because fit and finish are fantastic as well, with excellent gaps and a spectacular luster that should most of the trophies at your local car show. They didn't shave or chop anything, and the original brightwork and trim was restored and reinstalled, so it looks like a 1940 Ford in every way. Stock chrome bumpers fore and aft, teardrop headlights, and chevron-style taillights all give this Ford a very high-quality look and feel, and it looks slick-as-can-be with the top up or down.
Open those long, heavy doors and take a look inside where the stunning black leather interior is essentially a work of art. Subtle and sophisticated, it was custom crafted to maximize space inside, so just about anyone can get comfortable behind the wheel or in the passenger's seat. The black leather hides are almost completely unmarked (other than a few minor comfort marks), and the supportive bucket seats up front and matching rear seat in the back make this '40 Ford all-day comfortable for the whole crew. Sculpted door panels integrate billet door handles and modern power window switches, plush black carpets line the floors and insulate things inside, and the dash was beautifully painted to match and really pops thanks to those chrome accents. A custom chrome bezel houses a host of VDO gauges ahead of the driver, and they do a great job keeping an eye on the motor up ahead while still giving the cabin a very 1940s look. The leather-wrapped, banjo-style steering wheel feels great in the hands of the driver, and thanks to the tilt column it can be adjusted to accommodate just about anyone, and even the billet pedals were carefully selected to match the theme of the interior. A Lokar shifter manages the automatic transmission below, and there's a beautifully stitched black cloth convertible top that's power-actuated and seals up the cabin from the outside world. Out back, the spacious trunk was lined with plush black carpets to match the cabin, and there's plenty of room inside to account for most travel plans.
Under all that chrome, there's a 350 cubic inch V8, chosen specifically because of its low demands for the new owner. Plenty powerful, it's a crate motor from GM Performance Parts that's reported to have been stroked to 383 cubes (although, unfortunately we don't have any paperwork to prove this claim), and with all that added horsepower and torque it moves the Ford with effortless ease. Performance parts include GM Performance heads, an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, a polished aluminum intake, and long-tube headers at the flanks that make the small block extremely responsive. Just about everything you can see was polished or plated, including the finned valve covers and matching air cleaner, and the builders went to great lengths to hide all the wiring and plumbing. Backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and a swapped-in Corvette C3 rear end, it's an effortless high-speed tourer that rides and handles like a modern car, and a big aluminum radiator up front keeps the whole show nice and cool. The front suspension is all independent and features tubular A-arms with coilovers and rack-and-pinion steering, and there's a power disc brake at each corner. The frame is heavily reinforced while the custom stainless exhaust system tucks up underneath for excellent ground clearance, and it sounds amazing, too. Staggered chrome alloys with spinners carry 165/15 front and 235/70/15 rear Dunlop radials that really fill the fenders perfectly in the classic big-and-little stance.
This isn't your average hotrod, but if you're an adult who is tired of the same-old, same-old at all the car shows, this stunning 1940 Ford convertible is the antidote. Call today!

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.
