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...
