1940 was the year Ford moved the shifter off the floor and onto the steering column. The payoff was more room across the front bench. It was also the first year Ford fitted sealed-beam headlights, and the last for the teardrop shape before the 1941 redesign.
This one keeps the shape and rewrites everything under it. A Blueprint 350 with aluminum heads and a Holley four-barrel runs through a 200-4R overdrive automatic, with a Mustang II front end, rack and pinion steering and power front discs doing the rest. Matte black over red vinyl, with air conditioning and power windows for the long way home.
