Vehicle Description
There are custom builds... and then there are cars that completely rewrite the rulebook. This 1940 Ford Coupe isn't just a restomod-it is a one-of-one masterpiece that took thousands of hours to engineer, fabricate, and perfect. Every inch of this build was designed to seamlessly blend the iconic styling of a 1940 Ford with the comfort, technology, and reliability of a modern Chevrolet SSR. The foundation of this incredible machine is a complete 2005 Chevrolet SSR chassis and drivetrain, giving this classic all the benefits of modern engineering without sacrificing its timeless hot rod attitude. The all-steel Ford body has been extensively reworked, widened more than six inches down the center, and chopped approximately six inches to create an aggressive stance unlike anything else on the road. The rear fenders have been seamlessly welded into the body, while thousands of hours were invested in bodywork to produce laser-straight panels and exceptional panel gaps. Every exterior handle, molding, and unnecessary trim piece has been shaved for a sleek, uninterrupted appearance. The attention to detail continues with custom molded Mini Cooper headlights integrated into the front fenders and Victory motorcycle taillights molded into the rear, creating a design that is both subtle and unmistakably unique. Covering it all is an incredibly deep, show-quality dual-stage Black finish that has been meticulously wet sanded and buffed to a mirror-like shine. Every piece of glass is custom fabricated and tinted, utilizing modern rubber-mounted seals that eliminate exterior moldings and further enhance the clean, contemporary look. Open the doors and you'll find one of the most impressive custom interiors ever fitted into a 1940 Ford. Nearly every modern convenience from a Chevrolet SSR has been incorporated into this build. The dashboard, gauges, steering column, steering wheel, center console, switches, controls, and seating all originate from the SSR, while Twin City Upholstery handcrafted the remaining interior using premium materials and meticulous stitching. Luxury meets technology with power heated seats, electronic climate control, cruise control, power windows, power locks, remote trunk release, traction control, and a premium DVD stereo system. Ridetech air ride controls are conveniently integrated into the dashboard, while hidden emergency releases ensure practicality matches innovation. Even the trunk received the same level of craftsmanship, featuring a fully upholstered leather interior with a removable access panel for the Ridetech suspension components and a Cadillac-style power cinch trunk latch. Powering this masterpiece is a remarkably low-mileage 2005 Chevrolet SSR Gen IV LS2 6.0-liter V8 producing 400 horsepower. Showing just 6,095 original miles, the engine remains factory stock for proven reliability and is dressed with a custom engine cover. The LS2 is backed by a 4L65E automatic transmission equipped with an external transmission cooler before transferring power to the SSR's durable 8.6-inch rear axle featuring 3.73 gears and a five-link suspension. Handling is every bit as impressive as the appearance. The complete SSR independent front suspension utilizes double A-arms while Ridetech air suspension with driver-controlled airbags at all four corners allows the stance to be adjusted at the touch of a button. Every wearable suspension component was replaced with brand-new pieces sourced from the original GM supplier during the build. Braking comes courtesy of four-wheel power disc brakes with factory anti-lock braking, providing modern stopping performance and confidence behind the wheel. The original Chevrolet SSR wheels measure 19 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear, wrapped in Goodyear Eagle RS-A performance tires that perfectly complement the car's aggressive stance. Underneath, the craftsmanship is just as impressive. The Chevrolet SSR frame was completely disassembled, |
