What’s special about this listing
This 1940 Ford Moonshine Runner blends vintage character with modern performance. Under the hood is a 4.6L V8 from a 2007 Mustang with just 900 miles, mated to a Tremec TKO 5-speed manual transmission. Fuel injection, headers, and a performance exhaust give it the power and reliability needed for serious backroad running.
A Heidts front suspension and four-link rear with coil-overs provide a smooth, controlled ride, while rack and pinion steering and power four-wheel disc brakes offer modern handling and stopping power.
Wearing 15” steel wheels with Ford V8 hubcaps, this Ford sits on skinny 155/80R15 front tires and beefy 235/70R15 rears, giving it that classic moonshiner rake. The body wears approximately 70% original patina paint, enhanced with all-new smoked glass for a stealthy, period look.
Inside, the new red interior features vintage-style gauges with a tach, tilt column, Vintage Air heat and A/C, and a finished trunk. This '40 Ford is a perfectly aged outlaw with a modern heart—built to run, cruise, and turn heads.
