Background Story of this 1940 Ford Deluxe

Overview of 1940 Ford Deluxe For Sale by Owner

The 1940 Ford range came in various body styles, including two and four-door sedans, coupes, convertibles, station wagons, coupe utilities and even a utility van. Typically, in Ford parlance, the term Tudor referred to a two-door variant, usually a sedan or station wagon. So, as you can glean, this 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod is a two-door machine, but that’s not all. You see, this Morgan Hill-based car has received a thorough makeover, including a more potent powerplant, a searing red coat of Viper Red paint, a refurbished interior and so much more. Plus, it’s traveled just 3,150 miles since then, making it a fine vintage Ford to add to your life, especially as it’s pretty comfortable and easy to drive with all those upgrades under its belt.

Exterior and Interior

Viper Red was definitely a color that Ford didn’t even envision for their 1940 range, yet here we are, with a 1940 Ford Tudor Restomod wearing that shade. And you know what? The car rocks it in an awesome manner! The bright shade suits the car’s curvy lines, bulbous fenders and rear haunches. Then, you’ve got aftermarket silver wheels in mag style, with upgraded disc brakes sitting behind them. The car also appears to have been de-bumpered for a meaner look. The tan interior of this 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod comes with new seats and leather upholstery. The power-adjustable front seats have interesting sets of eyes in their head rests! Then, you’ve got modern gauges, an aftermarket steering wheel, an upgraded audio system from Kenwood with USB and AUX inputs, Vintage Air heating and air conditioning, and a custom center console. Yes, this vehicle is as comfortable as anything from the Eighties onwards, so you can even make it your daily driver if you wish.

Engine

The drivetrain of this 1940 Ford Deluxe Tudor Sedan Hot Rod centers around a 400ci Small-Block V8 fed by a Moon Eyes fuel injection system and supported by an aftermarket nitrous setup for additional performance capability. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a built 4L60E automatic transmission, well-suited for EFI operation and street/strip use when properly reinforced. The chassis rides on a TCI frame with a triangulated 4-link rear suspension, providing improved traction and stability over original factory geometry. Power steering and power brakes enhance drivability, while drilled and slotted four-wheel brake rotors deliver confident stopping performance. Additional performance features include exhaust cutouts with a kill switch, a line lock system for controlled launches, and a complete vehicle rewire to support the car’s modern electrical demands.

1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod LS1

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$87,575
SOLD

The 1937 Ford line-up hit the streets as a refresh of the preceding Model 48. It was offered in a variety of body styles, and is known as one of the most popular cars for hot-rodding to this day. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible Hot Rod from Coast 2 Coast. Starting off as a 2-door car, this car has been comprehensively hand-formed from a 1939 Ford fiberglass body by Coast 2 Coast, and features a host of enhancements. From a 5.7-liter LS1 V8 from arch-rivals Chevy, to a GM 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission and a plushly reupholstered Fawn Beige leather interior, this hot rod is a fine cruiser that will brighten up the darkest of days.

1939 Ford Deluxe 2 Door Sedan

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$39,999
SOLD

In 1937, Ford debuted its update on the popular Model 48. This era is commonly called the 1937 Ford, and it ran between 1937 and 1940. Here, Ford debuted an all-new 136ci V8 at the entry level of the range, but kept the 221ci unit unchanged. The Blue Oval also offered buyers many body styles, including coupes, convertibles, sedans, coupe utilities, station wagons and vans. Furthermore, the 1937 Ford range was also sold in Australia, as well as assembled in Romania and Latvia. Ford sure was going places. Today, cars of this vintage have usually been turned into restomods and hot rods, but it’s not hard to find relatively true-to-stock examples. Case in point, this 1939 Ford Deluxe that’s for sale in Oak Hill, Florida right now. It’s got just over 70,000 miles on its 221ci Flathead V8, and comes with a 3-speed manual transmission. We’re also told that the car has been repainted.

2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Supercharged

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$94,999

Ford’s famous pony car, the Mustang, just keeps on galloping and galloping! Even with the proliferation of EVs and the relentless customer demand for SUVs, this legendary nameplate is still around to this day. It’s now in the seventh generation which debuted in 2024, and shows no signs of slowing down. Ever since the first Mustangs rolled off the Dearborn lines in mid-1964, the Mustang has represented the everyperson sports car, aptly called a pony car. Today’s 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse is from the seventh generation, and is a special variant with enhanced performance for the streets, much in the vein of the original Boss Mustang 302 of the Sixties. With its 5.0-liter V8, Dark Horse badging and carbon-fiber hood, this Havana-based car boasts just 2,000 miles on the odometer.

1948 Ford F-5 Flatbed

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$69,900

Now here’s a veritable legend up for grabs in Camarillo, California! This 1948 Ford F-5 Flatbed Restomod is one of the very first Ford F-Series trucks to hit the roads, as 1948 was the launch year for the F-Series, now in its fourteenth generation as of 2026. Can you think of any other nameplate that has endured for over seven decades like this (OK fine, we know, the Corvette, but this precedes that by five years). This lovely vintage truck has a host of upgrades and boasts just 3,120 miles since then. It’s got a plucky 454ci V8 under the hood, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission, a custom wood bed, and more to enjoy.

1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$32,990

Behold, the famous Fox Body Mustang, also known as the third generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Introduced in 1979, the Fox Body would go on until 1993, and the successor would also use its platform. Now, Fox Bodies are becoming desirable by a segment of enthusiasts who recognize its distinctiveness and quirks too. And yes, the Fox came with a V8 engine option too. Case in point, this fine 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible from Cumming, Georgia. This car packs a scarcely believable 4,400 miles, making it a nice time capsule of sorts. It’s got a Marti report included with the sale, and rocks a white soft top. Oh, and of course, there’s a 302 under the hood.

1938 Hudson Terraplane

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$28,137

This 1938 Hudson Terraplane Rat Rod is a bold fusion of pre-war American design and modern hot rod engineering. Built on a 1971 Chevrolet ¾-ton chassis, this custom creation abandons originality in favor of strength, capability, and unmistakable presence. The rat rod philosophy is fully embraced here, combining an intentionally weathered appearance with serious mechanical upgrades underneath. Powered by a 355ci V8 and riding on modern suspension components, this Terraplane delivers a driving experience that is raw, aggressive, and purpose-built. It is not a restoration, but rather a carefully executed custom hot rod designed to stand apart from conventional classics.

1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$29,500

The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
