Overview of 1940 Ford Deluxe For Sale by Owner

The 1937 Ford line-up was basically a refresh of Ford’s popular Model 48, and ran for four model years. The range saw new engine choices and some fresh styling but remained more or less mechanically identical in other ways. As time passed on, these cars became classics and then vintage vehicles. They’ve also become rather sought after due to their interesting styling. Some petrolheads buy these to restore to concourse condition, others make them into restomods of varying degrees. If you want a 1937 Ford that’s more or less standard, but with a few modern enhancements, check out this 1940 Ford Deluxe. It’s undergone a frame-off restoration and now sits on a custom frame for better longevity. With a host of improvements, it’s a Forties classic that you can drive on a regular basis.

Exterior and Interior

Matte black is the first impression that this 1940 Ford Deluxe gives off, thanks to its new paint job. Then, you’ll note its Center Line racing wheels, adding a sporty flair to the car’s overall appearance, and wrapped in white-lettered BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Then, there are some interesting graphics on the doors and trunk lid in contrasting green. These tastefully blend in with the car’s classic elements, such as chrome bumpers and exterior trim components. The interior of this 1940 Ford Deluxe is reportedly new, with bucket seats and a wooden center console with cup holders. The current owner says the original bench seat is included with the sale, so you can decide if you want to change things to stock under your custody. The interior’s overall classic theme is more or less retained. The steering wheel is an aftermarket four-spoke unit, but it matches the rest of the interior surprisingly well.

Engine

Packing a 383 Stroker V8 under the hood, this 1940 Ford Deluxe can rock and roll with plenty of tire smoke when required. The engine is paired with an Edelbrock carb, a Turbo 350 automatic gearbox, and a 9-inch Ford rear end. Meanwhile, there’s a Mustang II front end, power steering, and power-assisted brakes. You’ve also got a traction bar control.

1932 Ford Model 40 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod

Current Ask
$74,700

This 1932 Ford Model 40 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod is an all-steel, heavily customized build that combines authentic early-Ford architecture with the unmistakable performance character of a 1969 Corvette-sourced 427ci Big-Block Chevrolet V8. Showing approximately 6,977 miles, the car was conceived as a one-of-one creation rather than a conventional street rod, with virtually every major component selected or engineered around its distinctive combination of vintage Henry Ford steel and big-block Chevrolet power. Its all-steel 1932 Ford 5-window body has been given a dramatic 4-inch roof chop, producing the low, aggressive profile at the heart of the build, while the fenderless front end, exposed suspension, deep-dish Cragar S/S wheels, front skinnies, and substantial rear performance rubber reinforce its traditional hot-rod attitude. Beneath the body is a custom fully boxed aftermarket frame designed to cope with the torque of the 427, backed by a heavy-duty TH400 automatic and Ford 9-inch rear axle. According to the seller, the car has also received significant publicity and attracted attention from collectors, further separating it from the typical home-built street rod.

1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350H

Current Ask
$99,999

By 1969, the Shelby GT350 had evolved from the raw, competition-minded Mustang of the mid-1960s into something broader in character: still unmistakably performance-focused, but now with the presence and comfort of a true high-speed grand tourer. This 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 shows approximately 80,436 miles and wears Black Jade over a Black interior with red seat accents, a combination that suits the car’s more mature personality especially well. Its Shelby identity is everywhere, from the functional twin-scoop fiberglass hood and Cobra-branded grille to the side scoops, GT350 graphics, rear decklid spoiler, Shelby Automotive identification plate, and Carroll Shelby signature across the passenger-side dash. Underneath, the 351ci Windsor V8, SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic automatic, and 3.25:1 Traction-Lok rear axle give it the kind of effortless V8 pace expected from a late-1960s Shelby, while power steering, power-assisted front disc brakes, and air conditioning make this example as much a road-going GT as it is a muscle car. It is a fitting snapshot of the moment when Shelby Mustangs became less about stripped-down competition and more about combining speed, style, and long-distance usability.

1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

Current Ask
$16,500

The Fox-body Mustang has become one of the defining American performance cars of the 1980s, and the GT Convertible remains one of the most recognizable versions of the formula. This 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible shows approximately 100,336 miles and is finished in Black over a Scarlet Red cloth interior with a black convertible soft top. Its specification includes the 5.0L High-Output V8, 4-speed AOD automatic, Traction-Lok limited-slip differential, GT lower body aero package, front air dam with integrated fog lights, rear decklid spoiler, and 15-inch turbine-style aluminum wheels. The red bodyside accent stripe ties directly into the vivid interior, while a JVC audio head unit adds a small modern update. It is a classic late-1980s Mustang configuration with plenty of visual attitude and the V8 character enthusiasts expect from a Fox-body GT.
