Wow super find just the way to get one...I really dig 39 and 40's...wish i lived in ca. ..iam up here in hillsboro ore were looking all the time...nice ride MIKE...€B)...
I've got a 1940 pickup that was my first car, still in the garage, picking away at restoring it. Yours was at least inside a garage, rat poop is bad, but 27 years of parked outside in eastern Tennessee pretty well trashed my truck. Thanks a bunch dad for leaving it out to get destroyed by weather and rust.
Awesome find Mike. I love old hot rods like this but don`t have the time, space or patience to take on those kinds of projects but I admire all the guys out there who try and preserve these classic cars. Best of luck fixing her up.
Praise the Low'rd...finally a Barn Find, that will get a proper treatment. thanks for not boring us with endless footage of extracting this car. Indeed she needs to be preserved, even if it requires that motor to come out and be gone through. The boys over on the H.A.M.B/Jalopy Journal, will want to see this. Go Man, Go! More restoration videos please. If the ole' girl could only talk, what a story she'd tell. JT: Orlando Misfires CC
Thanks. Currently engine has Marvel Mystery Oil down the cylinders and I hope she’ll break free. Also ordered a set of bias blackwall tires just like what’s on it. This is a piece of local hot rod history.
That thing is going to polish up so well. Dang man, what a find. Really beautiful car. Thats a great color too. Can't wait to see more man. Little jealous I must admit.
I just took two 40 ford coupe's out of my dads pole barn. They have been sitting since 1958. One has the original flat head the other has a t bird 312. I still need to get another one out. Plus alot of flat head performance parts.
8ba,earlier gearbox ,English style bucket seats.There are still out there folks,.frame has been sitting twisted for years but will all come back with elbow grease and a few parts .here's hoping for a nice 8ba,looks like it has all the goodies ,it can be expensive .looking forward to following your journey ,here in New Zealand we never got this model as we were having a go at Hitler .
Wow!! Awesome Awesomene find! That’s one of my all time favorite years for a Ford. I just love 1940 Fords, in my opinion one of the best years for a Hot Rod....and as if it couldn’t get any better, it already is built from the beginning era for a Hot Rod! Yes as you said please keep her job how she is and enjoy that beauty. I’m new to your channel I just came across the Plymouth Valiant video another sweet find you discovered 👍. I’m a Mopar fanatic lol, but I love and appreciate all cars, especially flathead powered Hot Rods lol. Stoked to see a local guy with a TH-cam channel I’m pretty local to you as i live in the San Gabriel valley. I’m a new subscriber and I want to let you know how much I appreciate what you are doing for the older cars out there especially in this screwey state we live in. As well as what you are doing for the great folks that are into cars 👍👍
Thanks. I sold the Valiant to a friend after his wife fell in love with it. Going to get the ‘40 going before the ‘59 Plymouth wagon. I usually hit the local shows, but most have been cancelled this year.
@@MikeFrankovich thank you for the response 👍. Yes I know what you mean about almost all of the local shows being canceled this year 🤦🏻♂️. I just realized that I misspelled and misplaced a few words in my first comment I left you lol. Also you may already know this but I remember hearing on kfi am640 a couple months back that Governor Newsoms proposal to ban the sale of gas powered vehicles was turned down. I’m pretty wrong about this part but I believe the report said it was the EPA that turned it down and bad said he was nuts to try to do that. Apparently there reason for turning it down is because California don’t have the infrastructure in place to be able to handle or support that many non gas powered vehicles. I just wanted to pass that on to you. Looking forward to more great content and videos, thank you.
@@jeromejakubowski7763 There is a petition on line to ban Newsom .Electric vehicle manufacture causes more environmental damage than a fleet of gasoline or diesel vehicles.
I had a 39 in my teens and a school mate had a 40 deluxe. His was stock but mine had a grenade flattie, 3/8 x 3/8 ,triple carbs etc etc . Love the whole style of this coupe but right out of my price range in 2021.
One big positive you can easily buy more new parts for this 40 ford entirely than having to scrounge around trying to find original used parts it. Makes for restoring a lot more simple.
i have a ? i just found a barn find old 1947 ford coupe v8 flathead no rust no rot paint good it was parked in the barn 41 years ago its all there the motor is locked up, how much you think i should pay for it ??
Sadly, California DMV won't let you reactivate the black plates, since they have dropped out of the computer system. Ironically, you can sell them for someone to use as Year of Manufacture plates for a 1963 - 1969 car, but they won't let you keep them registered to the car they were actually issued to. Dealers at swap meets try to get as much as $400 for a nice pair of black plates.
I was able to register mine, i got lucky and found an old registration with the plate number, which proved it was to that car.... and they wanted to inspect the plates.
DO US ALL A FAVOR'',,CLEAN IT UP AND DRIVE IT'',,I GREW UP OWNING A LOT OF THESE EARLY FORDS MY FIRST WAS A --1938-- COUPE I HAD RACED 4 DIFFERENT FORDS IN THE EARLY '60'S,SHORT TRACK IN MASS,,---''GIT''-'ER''-''DONE''
You say it is a “Barn Find” when you say it is in a garage, my inquiry is are you inferring correctly or throwing this generic term “Barn find” where it is not really???
Well, Blah here, I live in Western Canada, lots of rural places. These days a whole lot of the barns have fallen into arrears, rotted away and simply put plainly dis-appeared, I think the term “Barn Find” for the most part something we are most definitely see less and less of. A horse carriage changed to become an automobile
Generally preserving the patina is for preservation of the originality of the remaining factory paint. That ‘40 does not have original paint so, there is no point in saving it as original. I think that “preserving the patina” has become somewhat of a fad nowadays. I prefer the factory fresh look.
Wow super find just the way to get one...I really dig 39 and 40's...wish i lived in ca. ..iam up here in hillsboro ore were looking all the time...nice ride MIKE...€B)...
Thanks. I still hope to get started on this one as soon as things are better.
I saw this on face book last night, This find is an unbelievable stroke of luck! It doesn't get any better than a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe!
It’s two holy grails in one car for me, a ‘40 coupe and original fifties hot rod. Can’t believe I got this.
My dad had a knack for finding these back in the 70's. We had 6 at one time, all in excellent shape. One of them was perfect. Wish I had one now!

Good solid rust free body by the look of it. Well bought Sir!
Nice find 40 ford is one of my favorite's when I was young I always enjoyed building 40 ford model's
Brother, that is one great find. I will definitely be following along your journey with this project.
One of my best finds. I’ve always wanted one.

Great find. Looks like someones old hot rod. Looking forward to seeing that old flathead rumble!
I’m hoping when I start showing it someone sees it who knows it’s history. It’s a local car, so it’s possible.
@@MikeFrankovich Probably. Looks to be well preserved. Color and speed parts will probably make it a recognizable combo.
@@MikeFrankovich nice/fun project for one of the best ( however are those hubcaps " high performance " yikes)
Very cool, I would love to have that '40 ................ 👍😉
Nice find! That back seat delete panel reminds me of a business coupe.
What an awesome car!!!
Outstanding! This is going to be a fun project for sure.
Great find,can't wait to hear it fire up!!
Nice find Mike! Just wicked!
Wow nice find.They are still out there!
That thing is going to polish up so well. Dang man, what a find. Really beautiful car. Thats a great color too. Can't wait to see more man. Little jealous I must admit.
Thanks. I’m already making plans for it. Going to start cleaning it up soon and preserving the originality.
Cool Find Mike - Congrats!
Thanks. This is going to be a fun one
@@MikeFrankovich Yeah, should be lots of fun!

I was looking online and it's incredible what's available for these cars.
I think you found my highschool hotrod.I would love to confirm it.
Your wife contacted me on FB. Left you a message.
Looks like the original ‘40 flathead engine was swapped for a ‘49-‘53 Ford/Mercury flathead engine.
damn sweet
Put me on the list if you decide to sell it
Just clean it up and get it running shape and drive it.
That’s the plan
i have a ? i just found a barn find old 1947 ford coupe v8 flathead no rust no rot paint good it was parked in the barn 41 years ago its all there the motor is locked up, how much you think i should pay for it ??
Wow, what's it gonna cost to pay all the back registrations to 1970? Just love Kalifornia!

Probably a Business Coupe...did not have a rear seat from the factory.
Get it running and leave the body as-is! They're only like that once.
I'm sure that was black from the factory. Clean it up drive it the way it is.
Looks like a big vw bug, good find.
Find me a Studebaker, International or Ford truck...
Have a look at Ricks "Classic truck Rescue" lots of mid fifties fords and GM's for sale .He has sold the one stude he had.
PATINA, what a damn shame.
Aw Please . . . no more "Patina" !

Every time I hear the word 'patina' I cringe.
Me too!!!!
As long as it's real patina instead of fake painted patina, it's kinda cool. Waayyyy better than the ratrod phase of a decade ago.

Oh mike..tha 40 is so bitchin...u should stop fixin the newer cars...get that 40 on the road...never sell it!
I’ll get it on the road. It’s be a tough year, so hopefully things get better
You say it is a “Barn Find” when you say it is in a garage, my inquiry is are you inferring correctly or throwing this generic term
“Barn find” where it is not really???
blah blah blah...
Just imagine that it's a very small barn, for sheltering sheep or shetland ponies.
That’s all you’ve got?

Preserving patina means too lazy/cheap to restore it right.
Not as bad as those who apply fake patina including rust stains though.
@@Mercmad agreed.
Generally preserving the patina is for preservation of the originality of the remaining factory paint. That ‘40 does not have original paint so, there is no point in saving it as original. I think that “preserving the patina” has become somewhat of a fad nowadays. I prefer the factory fresh look.
The patina fad seems to be ebbing thank God.
