We get emails all the time about cars for sale and this time of year we are super busy. This 1940 Ford was offered to us in email, and we turned it down due to lack of time. Well the seller offered to deliver it, so we couldn't say no. What should we do with this 40 Coupe? Cut it up or save it?

Looks like Moon gets more excited over old Fords than the rest of the team combined.

In bushland near my street in Tasmania, there's an old 40s Mercury sedan. Like this, it's unsalvageable. Teenage me in the 1980s was fascinated by it. You could discern details such as the (all broken) side windows used to be double-glazed. That car, and this '40 coupe make me think the same thing. Once, somebody walked into a dealership and bought this car new. It was somebody's pride and joy back then. This was the final stop on a road eighty years long.

@johna1160 9 месяцев назад

Not its final stop. Next time we see this, it's going to be the metal bits on a 2025 Hyundai.

Great call to cut it up, I'm pretty sure the ITG executive officer Moon made that call.🤔 Nice shot of the new 32 in the background ❤

@vonbuzz9009 9 месяцев назад

Rebuilt a simmilar coupe years ago,,, bottom foot of the sheetmetal gone ,,, decided to cut it up a bit,,, put sedan doors on it, rounded the rear window frames, shortened the quarter panels 6 inches,, sectioned the body 2 inches chopped the top 2 inches, channeled over the frame 2 inches,, deleted the running boards , wheel well headers poking out under the front fenders ,,,radiused the wheelopenings,,,, shortened the trunk lid, frenched a license plate pocket in the rear pan,,,, it now looks a bit like a choppd Willis coupe ,,,,

Fewer and fewer of these old cars around. Eventually they will all be found and used up. Shame this one rotted in a container, but good that you saved what could be saved.

@rupertbaskerville 9 месяцев назад

Personally, as rough as it is I would probably try and save it, but then I'm in the UK and 40 Ford coupes are very rare here and very expensive. Having said that, I just got to the part of the video where I saw how bad the frame was rotted out, so maybe not🙃

@ADAMH924 9 месяцев назад

I've had my '38 Olds for almost 12 years. If it weren't for other '38's being broken down and parted out, then I would be left with pretty much an empty shell and missing half of the car. In the end that shell of a car will be a valuable part of someone's search for that long lost, hard to find, original Ford sheet metal part needed for their cars restoration. One clapped out car gives it's parts and pieces to save on another car in need.

@raymondbowles3442 9 месяцев назад

They make almost everything for those cars, aftermarket. You shouldn't have cut the old girl up😢

@AndyGeesGarage 9 месяцев назад

Shipping containers are terrible for storing cars in. If vents aren’t cut into them there ends up being so much condensation in them it will literally rain inside them especially in humid areas. Good job saving what could be saved, a far better option than it going to the crusher
