From the sidewalk, this 1940 Ford looks pretty much as Ford intended it to. Maroon paint coats a steel body that is brightened up with all the right chrome trim, and the tan-painted steel wheels don’t seem out of place, especially with the wide whitewall tires, chrome trim rings and hubcaps; it gives the impression that it’s all FoMoCo. But looking closer, the slight rake of the front end becomes apparent and the glass seems slightly tinted from stock. The headlights are of the halogen design and the tail lights are from the school of LED. Then it fires up, which is when it becomes apparent that all bets concerning a factory restoration are off. The LS V-8 engine is packing a Wilson manifold, JDM Sport Nation fuel rails and a Spectre cold-air intake among other nice tricks lending it more power than Ford ever thought a ’40 Ford would ever know. A 4L60E overdrive automatic transmission works with a Ford 9-inch rear end to distribute the power, while an independent front suspension, power steering and 4-wheel disc brakes all conspire to make the Ford infinitely easier and more enjoyable to drive. The engine bay has been color matched to the body and the firewall has been smoothed over, all of which creates a fastidiously clean, uncluttered environment that anyone can appreciate. The interior is a study in subtle custom flair with tan leather upholstery, bucket seats, a custom center console with a Pioneer stereo, Vintage Air, Classic Instruments gauges and a tilt steering column topped with a banjo-style steering wheel complete with a V-8 horn button. With the modern drivetrain and air-conditioned interior, this Ford is ready to rock the scene—and thanks to an aluminum radiator, it’ll be hard pressed to overheat too, even on warm days in traffic.
