History 1940 FORD COUPE pics needed!!!!

Anybody got any 39 or 40 ford sedans to add

 

Pics of my 39 Standard & 40 Opera coupe

 

This is a pretty cool thread.

 

You're right. The engine must have been a '56. I remember it did have the removable bellhousing which made the installation much easier. The '40 actually had a hot 286" flathead in in from mid '55 through most of '57 (untill I got beat for the first time on the street by a 270-hp '57 Chevy and decided the 'flathead era' was over for me.) I installed the hemi in Dec. of '57. It went through a LOT of '40 Ford side shift transmissions after that.....but it darn sure looked cool under the hood!

It's only been 52-years ago! They say your memory is the SECOND thing to go.....I can't remember what that FIRST thing was! ;o)

LOL, Tell me about it, I have forgotten more then I recall now. I used to have a bad case of CRS now it's a severe case of CRAFT!

As far as the first thing, I'm having problems hitting the mark in the bathroom let alone anywhere else!

 

Here's a one-owner I found some years ago. It wasn't for sale.

 

This Tudor came out of San Francisco in 1983 with 41000 miles. Hadn't been driven since 1961.

 

here is mine, on the road in switzerland

 

Here's mine - on the road for 6 years now ....

 

Whats the story?

 

My favorite too!But if it's not a '40 what is it?

 

'39, if the tail-lights are any indication.....

 

what a killer ride,and the sticker on the bumper says it all.

 

HELL YES..............That how a 40 should be built .

 

I think this car is in the new Peter Vincent book. Does anyone have any other pics of this thing? It looks like a total bad***.

 

ttt...

 

one of Willy Clay Call's 40 fords.

 

My Buddy's coupe, owned it over 30yrs. paid $250.00 for it, drove it for the first time last weekend, powered by Ford, 351W auto.

 

Here is our coupe. It has a cammed up '68 GTO 400 Pontiac with a 4 speed. We traded a '36 Ford coupe for it about 30 years ago.

 

Nuff said this car is tha ****s

That looks like Josh Bailey's '40 from East Tennessee. Haven't seen it in years!
