1941 Ford 2-door Custom Pro Touring Hod Rod on 2040-cars

1941 Ford 2-door 
This car has recently undergone a full frame-off restoration. It only has a little over 1,400 miles on the odometer since it was finished. It's really the nicest '41 Ford I've ever come across, and it's truly enjoyable to drive. It has been parked in the garage and only driven in nice weather on the weekends. The smoothed out looks, awesome color combination, subtle hotrod queues, and perfect stance draws attention everywhere you take it.

But don't let the 72 year old steel body fool you. Under the skin of this beauty you'll find that literally everything has been gone through and modernized. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.

BODY & PAINT 
• Laser straight, all original Henry Ford steel body and fenders, with fiberglass running boards.
• No waves or ripples down the sides, seams and doors all line up great.
• 5 coats of black, then 2 coats of clear. The paint is deep and looks like a mirror up close. Not "trailer queen perfect" because this car gets driven, but it's really close! 
• Hood has been decked and nosed.
• Headlights are frenched in 2", and include very unique cool looking turn signals in the lower portion. There are also small orange running lights behind the chrome kidney grilles that light up when the lights are on.
• Hood opens by cable pull under dash.
• Doors have automatic locks, actuated with the key fob (2 fobs included).
• Trim and handles have been polished, and swan neck side mirrors complete the look.
• LED tail lights are frenched in 4", with integrated turn signals like a Corvette.
• Trunk opens with a pull-up cable lever located on the interior floor by the door sill on the driver's side.
• Original trunk handle has been removed and smoothed over. Only way to open it is from the interior.
• Gas cap panel has been smoothed on the exterior, and filler relocated into the trunk.
• Original license plate mount on trunk has been filled and smoothed. License plate is now located under the car, below the trunk.
• Front and rear bumpers have been removed. The mounts are still present and are covered by custom bullet caps.
• The glass has all been replaced on this Ford, and fitted with new soft rubber trim and felts.
• The windshield wipers have been removed and capped for cosmetic appeal, but the wiper motor is all connected and works perfectly if you ever decide to put on wipers and drive around in the rain.

INTERIOR, TRUNK, & MODERN COMFORTS 
• Brand new custom interior. The original '41 front and rear seats have been reupholstered using a tasteful combination of oxblood dyed leather with suede tuck and roll centers with red stitching.
• The door panels, rear panel, headliner, and trunk were all done at the same time and look amazing.
• The floor and firewall was first covered with sound deadening matting, and then fitted with new black carpeting and matching floor mats.
• There were no dome lights on '41 Fords, so white LED strip lighting now illuminates under the seats when the doors open. Red LED lighting illuminates under the dash when the motor is running. Looks real classy at night.
• The custom dash is just beautiful. It's all gloss black to match the exterior and the original chrome hood trim has been custom modified and relocated. It now serves as a vent in the center of the dash, making it very unique yet original looking.
• The single instrument gauge is a multi-function unit with speedometer, odometer, temp, fuel, and signal indicators. It is illuminated at night and has a dimmer.
• Late model steering column, with tilt, wiper speed, high/low beam selector, self-cancelling turn signals, and a real 8 ball on the shift lever. Also has a cool Lucite gear indicator.
• Banjo style billet steering wheel with black leather top. The chrome .44 Magnum revolver steering knob gives it that old school gangster look, and allows you to do U-turns without taking your arm off your girl.
• Horn in the center of the wheel works too.
• A/C and heat and blow through the custom center dash vent, and also through directional vents in the kick panels.
• Power windows are a cool touch on this ride, and controls are on the door panels. Note: The rear windows only go down a few inches because of the larger rear wheel wells. Power to the rear windows is currently disconnected but the motors and wiring are all installed.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION 
• Powered by a freshly rebuilt Chevy 350 motor. Starts every time, just like a new car.
• Edelbrock intake, Holley 4 barrel carburetor with electric choke, and Edelbrock air cleaner.
• MSD ignition, MSD coil, MSD distributor, and 8mm MSD plug wires.
• Chrome headers dump into Cherry Bomb mufflers and then exit the sides. Sounds old school kool.
• Electric Derale pusher fan and mechanical puller fan.
• Chevy 350 automatic transmission, 3 speed on the column, with trans cooler.
• Battery is hidden from view in the trunk.
• All the electric wiring is new, just as you would expect in a frame-off car.

CHASSIS, BRAKES & SUSPENSION 
• Original 1941 frame that has been modified and reinforced.
• VIN is stamped into the frame on driver's side engine bay. Title is clean and says 1941 Ford Deluxe. Vehicle registration is current. 
• Heidt's Mustang II power rack & pinion steering is effortless.
• New front control arms (upper & lower), ball joints, and bushings with adjustable Bilstein coilovers.
• Front tires are 215/40-18" and rears are 275/35-20".
• Four wheel power disc brakes, with emergency brake. Master cylinder hidden under car.
• Rear wheel wells have been enlarged to fit bigger tires.
• Rear 4-link set up, also with adjustable Bilstein coilovers.
• Ford 9" rear end, with a 3.50 gear ratio.
• New body bushings.
• New gas tank.

Disclaimer: I made every effort to represent this vehicle as accurately as possible and to the best of my knowledge at the time of listing. Content is based on my inspection, research and/or information provided by previous owner(s). I encourage buyers to make a thorough, independent inspection & investigation to verify the accuracy of any claims to originality, history, equipment or other information provided prior to the purchase. Vehicle is being sold with no warranty in "As Is/Where Is" condition.

A $500 deposit must be made by PayPal within 24 hours of auction’s end. Deposit is NON refundable. Remaining balance must be paid in cash or bank wire, no exceptions. Once funds are secure I will hand over title, or if out of state I will overnight it. Please see my feedback and bid with confidence.

Shipping will be at buyer’s expense and vehicle must be picked up from my home.

Trades: I’m not desperate for cash but I could use the extra garage space. That being said, a vehicle of similar value that could be parked outside would be ideal. A low mileage daily driver under 5 years old would be perfect. Willing to go up or down by about $5K. I like sports cars (911), American muscle cars (new & old, Z06, Viper), European luxury sedans (S550), and lifted 4x4’s (H1, Jeep Unlimited, Defender, FJ). I have a weekness for '69 Camaros, '70 Chevelles, and '63-67 Vettes, so I might go for that too, along with cool "sleepers" and well thought out restomods. Feel free to email offers with pics, or any questions about the '41 to bryancgordon at hotmail dot com.

Thanks for checking out my ride!
