For Sale at Auction: 1940 Ford 1 Ton Flatbed in Houston, Texas for sale in Houston, TX
Vehicle Description Beautifully restored and tastefully modified to Post-War era hotrod styling, chassis number 185501620 is a desirable and authentic steel body Five-Window Coupe, built by Jim Lowrey Sr.
of Meredith, NH.
Opening the hood reveals a 221ci V8 engine, which was bored.
60 over and fitted with a mild Isky camshaft, Offenhauser cylinder heads, Edelbrock valve covers, and topped with a Road Runner Enterprises Weiand supercharger.
The blower is appropriately capped with twin Stromberg 97 carburetors, in keeping with the traditional spirit of this hot rod.
The engine bolts up to a rebuilt 1941 Ford 3-speed side-shift transmission, benefiting from a 2-speed Columbia rear axle.
The vacuum-operated Columbia retains its proper hardware, including the speedometer ration corrector.
The undercarriage presents a glossy black frame and complementing red ladder bars, rear end, suspension, and lower engine components.
The Coupe benefits from a Fall 2020 inspection, tune-up, and service.
This included new spark plugs, wires and ignition components, brake master cylinders, hoses and wheel cylinders, new aluminum radiator (correct original accompanies), radiator cap and thermostat for further reliability in modern traffic.
During restoration efforts, body was removed and restored by Jim Lowrey Jr.
of Tilton, NH and was finished in Lyon Blue paintwork.
Red pin striping by Larry Hook, lends a subtle hint of what lies beneath the hood, along with touches of bright chrome work and matching red chrome-capped steel wheels with mounted BF Goodrich whitewalls.
As with the exterior, the cabin appears nearly stock at first glance with gorgeous deep red painted finishes and complementing seating, surrounds, headliner, and carpeting.
A large and tidy luggage compartment contains a matching spare tire assembly as well.
Likewise, fit and finish is of high standards throughout the vehicle, no corners were cut, nor expenses spared restoring this exceptional example.
Ideally optioned with AM radio and heater, elegant touches of chrome were also applied to select interior pieces.
Again, a small period Airtex vacuum gauge leads to a sleeper powerplant.
Traditionally hot-rodded and expertly restored in period attire, this 1940 Ford 5-Window Custom Coupe offers immediate touring performance and excellent showmanship.
Its combination of design and performance gives this 1940 Ford model a particular presence, an attitude which set it apart from its contemporaries.
