For Sale: 1940 Ford 2-Dr Sedan in Greenwood, Indiana for sale in Greenwood, IN
Vehicle Description This is a very interesting 1940 Ford Two-Door Sedan Hot Rod with a Legendary Story!! This '40 Ford has an incredible past:
Built by two teenagers in 1957, they transformed it into a racing machine over two years.
It was their pride until 1960 when one had to sell his share for college funds.
Later, it changed hands, underwent a rebuild, and emerged as the beauty it is today.
The original owner found it unexpectedly at a car show in 2008 and reacquired it in 2010.
Powering this legend is a very rare 1957 Desoto 345 cu in dual four barrel Hemi V8 - the same heart that drove it when the boys originally built it in the late 50's.
They found the motor in a junk yard out of a freshly totalled 1957 Desoto Adventurer.
Combined with a 1939 LaSalle 3-speed manual transmission, it's a powerhouse of nostalgia and performance.
The Corvette Dark Red Metallic paint gleams as new, showing off the laser-straight body and flawless chrome.
Inside, the custom beige leather interior adds a touch of elegance to this roaring beast.
This '40 Ford isn't just a car; it's a living piece of history that embodies the dreams of young car enthusiasts and the craftsmanship of bygone eras.
It's more than a purchase; it's an opportunity to own a slice of American automotive history.
For those who appreciate the dedication, craftsmanship, and the thrill of a hand-built speed machine, this Ford is waiting for its next chapter in your collection.
It is a wonderful story and history reaching back into another era!!!.
