Trans & IRS rear end offered by Gas Monkey Garage showing 28. 40 miles since restoration completion .  Styling of the new 1940 Ford was good. so good that this car became one of the most desirable single models made by any manufacturer.   The hood was crisply pointed. meeting a handsome grille composed mainly of delicate horizontal bars flowing smoothly back to a rakishly angled windshield.   The headlamps. sealed-beams for the first time. were fared into neat fender nacelles.   The fenders themselves were beautifully curved to complement the body contours for the ultimate streamlined appearance. I found this Kick Ass Resto Mod 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible built some time ago with a Corvette Tuned Port Injected engine. Automatic Trans and a Corvette Independent Rear Suspension! This is a very clean and well sorted build with an attention to detail that has to be seen to be truly appreciated (see all pics). The builder had a clear vision when they started with this really solid example of the iconic 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible-keep the beautiful lines that are unique to this era and improve all other aspects of ride. handling. performance. reliability and comfort. The result is this extremely desirable and rarely available Kick Ass Hot Rod that has been painted a glossy red that stills show well but has picked up a few scratches & chips as the previous owner enjoyed cruise nights and attending shows with it. The interior was tastefully completed with a monotone Leather upholstery executed to a very high quality level with custom dash gauges & yes. that’s a Pioneer Super Tuner AM/FM Cassette Stereo that still cranks out your favorite tunes! The Corvette Independent Rear Suspension installation is one of the most sanitary I’ve seen with disc brakes on all 4 corners and an attention to the undercarriage that is indicative of an enthusiastic craftsman. The Fuel Injected engine starts with a push of the starter button and settles to a mellow note through the custom dual exhaust. The ride is smooth & firm with the solid axle front and IRS and handling has been improved to be more on par with late model designs. The tires have good tread. but are showing their age and should be replaced (dry cracking). The top operates smoothly going up & down effortlessly but the top cover is showing its age with some wear & tear. This car should be serviced prior to driving for any period of time due to the length of time.

 About Us[zipedit]

 

“I’ve been obsessed with cars since… I was born. ”

Richard Rawlings had a car by age fourteen. and had gone through nearly twenty cars by the time he was out of high school. His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family. and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator. his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say. this stayed with Richard.

Rawlings was always working. and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one. he’d been a cop. a fireman. and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch. he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy. and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later. the company sold. and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born.

Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented. and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened. Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest. most expensive. most badass hot rod shop to be found. with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy. but signed on anyway. Eight years later. the shop is all that and more.

They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background. Rawlings has a handle on the market. and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less. the job will be done. whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long. Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation. not a stockpile.

Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style. push a brand. and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop. armed with his mastery of mechanics. electrics. and fabrication. The dynamic is vital. the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars. and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B. S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari. ” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods. ”
