You can search e Bay forever and never find a nicer all-original steel. California 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe. I purchased this car two years ago for $28. 00 as a stalled project here in California and I don't buy junk. To date I have well over $54. 00 invested in the car. The body is essentially paint ready. The car was stripped to bare metal by hand and all the hard work is done. It has a new floor and it needs final finishing and pick your color. I AM SELLING THIS CAR AS I JUST FOOUND A FINISHED CAR FOR $80. 00. So. my loss is going to be somebody's gain. Additionally. we will finish the car to the buyers specs here in California by painting. assembly and upholstery to their specifications completing the car within four months. We will sell the car finished for $75. 00. I started last night to do a complete inventory of all the "new in the box" parts that I have purchased over the past two years for this car and there is literally too much to list. I have purchased from Bob Drake. Dennis Carpenter and Vintique here in California virtually every part made for a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe. Obviously I kept all the right original stuff (Body. doors. hood. fenders. deck lid and of course all the original body stainless steel that fits perfectly) I've tried to take as many pictures as I could and to give it an accurate description so plea look everything over. If anyone has any questions they can

Work performed since purchased: I took the car to the famous race car suspension builder. Vince Barnes. in Calabasses. California. He did the following work: 1. Purchase and install a mint original steering column. ($1600) 2. Custom design and install linkage from the column to the new turbo 350 transmission. ($1200) 3. Custom fabricate linkage from the steering column to the Mustang independent front suspension system. ($800) 4. Purchase and install new Vintage Air Conditioning system. ($1600) 5. Purchase and install new power windows. ($750) 6. Purchase and install a new "Hidden" billet Specialties serpentine system including power steering. ($2700) 7. Custom fabricate and install a new stainless steel exhaust system ($1800) 8. Fabricate and install all new stainless steel brake lines. ($800) 9. Purchase and install new Drake covered running boards. ($1200) As you can see just this work and parts alone was over $12. 00. The parts listed below are nearly $10. 00. I have tried to take as many photos as I could and to give an accurate description. Nothing would be better than to come and see the car here in Southern California.
