Hey Mike, this car is being offered for sale. I believe it's your old car? Did Le Barron Bonny do the interior? Domenic Domenic

Domenic - you should've posted this in the 'New 1940 Ford Book' section. Steve

Domenic, I did own that car at one time but did not have anything to do with its restoration. It was (is) a very nice car. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Mike if you sold this car, and recently sold a 1940 coupe, I hope you still have some toys left. I know that we are just care takers of these wordily possessions , and that someday it will be somebody else's turn . But if it gets you off the couch , and it's not taking food off the table , it's a pretty cool hobby, and it kept me out of trouble, when a lot of my friends went down .Domenic Domenic This message was edited by thunder road on 7-12-17 @ 4:52 PM

Dominic, Yes, Mikes former V8 Tudor is still available for purchase. Mike is right, it was and still is a beautiful car. Ive owned it about 14 months. According to Mike, the interior and the whole car was "correct" when he sold it to me. I haven't changed a thing. The only thing different is that it has a fresh rebuilt '39 Mercury engine (the '40 Merc engine that came with it apparently developed a crack in the cylinder wall and the fiber gear shredded into a million fibrous pieces back in Sep of 2016; thus the rebuilt motor). Give me a call if you're interested. Id really love for it to go to a purist V8 Ford person. Its a true stock beauty and would be a wonderful piece of '40 Ford history to own.

Hey Scotty, this beautiful shade of blue that they had in 1940 caught my eye right away. When I saw that it was a two door, I was drawn to the front split bench seat as I have been on the forum doing investigating work as to weather it was the same as a 1939 split bench seat which it is not. Then when I read your ad and it basically said that Mike once owned the car,, I had to send him a picture. Mike, and Tom and others have been a great wealth of knowledge on the 1940 ford coupe which I recently purchased. Right now I own 4 classic cars and have a 4 car garage which I had built in the back yard. Living in Westchester County N.Y. only allows you so many good months about 6 or 7, to drive the cars. My friend right now is doing the same thing that you are, he is rebuilding a 1939 Mercury engine, and I believe he said that he is putting in a 1949 to 53 crankshaft and it will go into a 1940 ford sedan.
