There is no car that looks better than a forty ford . In my humble opinion especially black and the front end with the beautiful styling begs flames sir you own the quintessential hot rod thanks for sharing this beauty.
Love the car. In that day it would have been an Olds or Caddie. Not a flame guy but again, in its day most had some. One of my fantasy cars for sure. If they won't rodded they would all have been in the scrap yards.🦇
I had a 40 coup for my first car. Soon the block cracked, and I put in a brand new 64 283 high performance. Immediately the transmission blew and I installed a Muncie and Chev real end. I loved it. I stiffened up the suspension and it was a great flat tracker. Later on I installed ram induction with 2 fours. Then wrecked it. lol. Should have kept it. Only the rear end was squashed due to a 180 crash into a mountain side from a dead end road in the fog.
Fine looking Ford, these were always my favorite pre war cars. I have a 40 pickup that is stalled out in mid restoration, just never seem to have the time or energy to get it put back together.
My father has a 1940 Ford coupe deluxe hes trying to sell with 2000hp and nitrous. It had original frame that was extended 3in. Dale Earnhardt drove my father's car once. It was built by hendrix motorsports and a couple other big name companies. It's an absolute weapon.

Would like to see it when its restored !!! KEEP IT SAFE !!! OPPPS !! Wrong video as ""OL""Red was on ''Spokemotors "" SORRY !!!

Very nice car, with a really classic look of "hot rod". Thanks for taking us along, Chuck.
My dream car. Used to have a huge RC car of one in blue (wish I could find it online)
It looks that good in person. Trust me. Beautiful.

A man who really enjoys his car! Not afraid to take it out of the garage.
The 1940 Ford coupe is the most beautiful car Ford ever made
Great car a story, forty ford one of the best designs

Hello: I love that car. It made me think of my friends completely original 37 Ford 2 door in a grey color.
Beautiful 40 Coupe, however I prefer Ford engines in them.
Great flames!
Love your "40!
very cool version
It's also a very nice driver.
Beauty! Hi John!

There is still time...
YOU RIGHT HOT ROD HAS TO HAVE THREE PEDELS

2000hp would really be a weapon!
Looks good, but why in the world would you put a Chev V8 in a Ford V8?
cheaper than a ford
Love it ! ESP the 4 speed
It is a great ride.
John your car is to die for. T O'Connor
Hopefully not....
The flames look very nice and not at all gaudy.

@@KB-gs8zi Thanks.
Me podrías decir la medida de las llantas por favor?
Resemble AMT model 40 Ford 3 in 1 box.
I had one of those models. If I remember correctly it could have been built as a 1939 or a 1940.

Right, nothing and about that.
He screwed it up when he took the Flathead out of it!
at least its not a chevy
This is a 70s style custom. That's when small block chevys and flames dominated the scene. By then, people were too lazy to keep running flatheads.
"Lazy?"
Wow Great looking Car I would Pull that motor out and give A Ford 390 !
nice car..to bad its ruined with a small block chevy
Nice car too bad for the sb chev !
always a chevy. ruins a nice car
I would have put a small block ford in it, or a flathead or Ardun, but to each his own.
Same old hot rod. Same parts same set ups as every other dude.
