1940 FORD STANDARD SEDAN STREET ROD; RAT ROD; CUSTOM, 302 FORD, EX COND.

Description

1940 Ford Sedan Street Rod which was built and originated in California. Currently on the third owner and only 9,500 miles have been logged on it since completion approximately 10 years ago.

NO TRADES

The body is painted in a 2-stage urethane and is all steel except for the running boards which are fiberglass. Car is straight, does not appear to have any bubbling or signs of rust. Has always been garaged. Paint is a 7 out of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being perfect. Original chrome around headlights and the stainless trim are in good condition as well. Shaved door handles use an electric ‘popping’ mechanism to open the doors, but currently they do not work. You need to reach in the driver’s window or vent. Glass is excellent and taillights are LED.

Power comes from a stock 302 Ford V-8 which uses an Edelbrock 650 cfm carburetor and Weiand intake manifold. Compression ratio is approximately 10:1 and runs on regular gas. Serpentine belt pulls the power steering, vintage air A/C, heat, and defrost units. A ‘Be Cool’ radiator with a manually operated electric fan keeps the engine around 190 degrees even during the summer heat.

Chassis is a stock ’40 Ford frame with a Heidt’s Mustang II independent, rack & pinion, power unit welded in place. An 8” Granada rear differential with 3.23:1 open gears help drive the stock C-4 automatic transmission. Power brakes are disc front and drum rear. Polished American Torque Thrusts are on all 4 corners with Goodyear Eagle radial tires measuring 225 x 70 x 15’s on the rear and 195 x 70 x 14’s up front.

Interior and trunk are tastefully done in a tan Naugahyde and are in excellent condition. Power windows and electric wiper work like new. VDO gauges finish out the dashboard and an Ididit tilt steering column with shift selector give it a very classy touch.

PLEASE BUY WITH CONFIDENCE

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 15 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period. Approximately 10 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage. These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
