1940 Ford Coupe – All-Steel, Professionally Restored with Ram Jet 350 – Show-Ready
This beautifully restored 1940 Ford Coupe was the final and favorite build of my late father, a passionate restorer who poured his heart and expertise into this classic. The vehicle spent most of its life in Naples, Florida, and is now stored in a climate-controlled facility in Rochester, Michigan. It features an all-steel body, premium components, and modern performance upgrades, making it a head-turning, reliable cruiser that honors tradition while embracing drivability.
