Description

1940 Ford Coupe Restomod - Art Deco Meets Modern Muscle

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this breathtaking 1940 Ford Coupe Restomod - a one-of-a-kind fusion of 1940s art-deco design and modern engineering excellence. With its chopped stance, widened steel body, and mirror-black finish, this car doesn't just turn heads - it stops time.

Starting life with the complete frame and drivetrain of a 2005 Chevrolet SSR, the foundation was sandblasted, clear-coated, and buffed to mirror before the all-steel 1940 Ford body was grafted on. The team at Bowden Customs of Riverton, Illinois executed a jaw-dropping transformation: six inches added down the centerline for a broader, more aggressive profile, and a six-inch roof chop that gives the car its sinister silhouette. The body and paint alone represent over 1,000 labor hours of hand-built artistry.

Inside, the craftsmanship continues. The custom SSR-based interior, finished by Twin City Upholstery of Bloomington, Illinois, wraps you in deep red leather with black accents and modern comfort amenities - 10-way power heated seats, power windows and locks, cruise control, and a Kenwood premium sound system. The design bridges classic hot-rod flair with contemporary refinement.

Performance comes from a 390-horsepower LS2 V8 engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, delivering both muscle and smooth drivability. Air-ride suspension allows you to adjust ride height at will, combining stance and comfort seamlessly. With just 6,093 miles since the build, this masterpiece is as fresh as it is ferocious.

Modern safety enhancements include anti-lock brakes, traction control, dual airbags, and even a backup camera, making this showpiece as practical as it is stunning.

Aggressive. Sculpted. Timeless. This 1940 Ford Coupe Restomod represents the golden age of design reimagined for the modern era - a rolling work of art that commands presence from every angle.

This 1940 Ford Coupe Restomod can be seen at the St. Louis Showroom located at 1237 Central Park Drive, O'Fallon IL 62269.
