Ford Coupe (1940) for Sale in NM

This custom 1940 Ford Coupe is a professionally built street rod, blending classic pre-war styling with modern performance and comfort. The exterior showcases a modified steel body finished in a striking two-tone combination of champagne and deep red. Classic hot rod styling cues include a shaved and smoothed body, Frenched lighting, reworked trim, and a clean, streamlined profile. Additional custom touches such as a billet grille, hidden fuel filler, and a power-operated license plate panel enhance both aesthetics and functionality. Underneath, the car rides on a custom tubular chassis and is equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear axle, complemented by a four-corner airbag suspension system for adjustable ride height and comfort. Four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering contribute to confident handling and stopping power, while staggered Billet Specialties wheels provide an aggressive stance. The interior is finished in tan leather with custom upholstery, a bench seat, and coordinated carpeting. Amenities include a custom center console, modern audio system with amplifier and subwoofer, power windows, and discreetly integrated controls for various vehicle functions, maintaining a clean and refined cabin appearance. Power comes from a 350ci Chevrolet V8 engine fitted with six two-barrel carburetors, delivering both strong performance and a distinctive visual presence. The engine is paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the rear wheels through a Ford 9-inch rear end. Supporting components include electronic ignition, upgraded cooling, and a custom dual exhaust system.
