This 1940 Ford Deluxe Business Coupe is the ultimate in EVERYTHING. It has a cool moonshiner story; a no expense spared amazing restoration; and a thoroughly modern heart beneath this very vintage skin. So dig onto all the details on this award-worthy build.
Moonshiner cars were all about being sleepers, and this one does exactly that. Even the subtle rumble of the exhaust doesn't give away the modern machine beneath the classic sheetmetal. And this one really earns its outlaw heritage. Its tale is this was bought new in North Carolina, and it was a genuine moonshine runner. It had to be hidden away in 1970 because of this bandit history. The coupe would spend the next 35 years in the barn until being resurrected for restoration. This even comes with the 1956 title in the moonshiner's wife's name! But once it was pulled from the barn this went for a proper nut-and-bolt restoration. The exterior respects the moonshiner nature by just looking like an exceptionally presented classic. The all-steel body panels have a precision fit that look better than when this left Ford's factory. The black paint is a high-gloss application that you see on a highly respected classic. Every piece of trim is complete: from the full-length brightwork line, to the Ford Deluxe badging. In fact, the only real exterior hint that they weren't trying for just a painstakingly accurate classic coupe are the addition of the polished Cragar SS wheels.
When you open the door, you lose any last idea that this is a 1940s machine. After all, they didn't have tan leather bucket seats back then that were this plush and power adjusted to your ideal comfort position. This color is nicely coordinated on the dash, carpeting, added rear seat, and custom door panels. The large trunk that makes this a terrific liquor running machine has now even been finished to match the custom interior. This is a high-style setup with great details, like crisp Classic Instruments gauges and the wood trim in the dash and banjo-style steering wheel. Plus, you now have all the best in modern conveniences, like power steering, power windows, power locks, tilt steering column, and an AM/FM/CD stereo w/CD changer. And the air conditioning is blowing nice and cold, so you can feel as cool as you look behind the wheel.
There are a ton of terrific upgrades to this coupe, but the best one starts under the hood. This is ready for modern moonshining with a 5.7-liter LS1 V8. This powerhouse neatly tucks into the engine bay, so you can really wow everyone at the car show with this fuel-injected surprise. It even has all the right supporting components, including headers and an aluminum radiator. Plus, the transmission was upgraded to a 4L60E four-speed unit that's an ideal pairing to an LS motor to deliver both confident downshifts for performance as well as smooth overdrive cruising. Don't forget to check out the undercarriage photos. This classic Ford body is now riding on a full custom chassis. The suspension is a tubular A-arm front, adjustable coilovers, and a Heidts Pro-G Jaguar-style rear. That's right: this now has fully independent suspension! You even have four-wheel disc brakes (with the rear ones inboard.) So you can amaze everyone by literally running circles around younger cars!
The sale comes with a huge stack of build receipts documenting the outstanding effort it took to create this unique machine. So if you want to be the ultimate in everything, don't miss this awesome one-of-a-kind that has an awesome story to tell. Call now!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES:
A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY:
Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT
. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
