GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this award-winning 1940 Ford Deluxe for your consideration. Finished in a stunning Lime Metallic exterior over a clean Black interior, this fully custom build is powered by a BluePrint 383ci small block Chevy V8 crate engine producing 410 horsepower, mated to a 700R4 automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end. With less than 3,000 miles on the fresh build, this Ford Deluxe is as show-ready as it is street-capable. It features a March Pulley system, MSD ignition, functioning air conditioning, LED front and rear taillights, Stewart Warner gauges, power windows, Pioneer speakers, and more. The chassis includes a Heidts Super Ride II front suspension, a four-link rear setup with coilover suspension, and Wilwood polished front calipers for optimal performance. It rides on Foose Knuckle chrome wheels, completing the custom rod look. This vehicle took home 1st place at AutoRama in 2023 in the Custom Rod Sedan (1935–1948) class—a true testament to its craftsmanship. Drive this one out of our showroom or have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the United States! Don't hesitate to call us with any questions or for more information.
The 1940 Ford Deluxe is widely regarded as one of the most iconic pre-war American automobiles, representing the peak of Ford's design evolution before World War II halted civilian automobile production. With its distinct grille, teardrop headlamps, and flowing fenders, the 1940 model became a favorite platform for hot rodders and custom builders for decades to follow. The car originally came equipped with Ford's flathead V8, and its lightweight body and sleek design made it a popular choice for performance enthusiasts. Today, 1940 Fords remain some of the most beloved and recognizable classic cars, whether restored to original condition or transformed into high-end custom builds like this stunning example.
