1940 Dodge Coupe

Here's a good project car, not modified, very stock and original. It belonged to my brother who died about a year ago and did hundreds of hours of work on it, but he did not complete the project. It has the original flathead six engine in good working order, original three speed column shift transmission, stock interior, ancient bias-ply tires that hold air. It has the stock six volt positive ground electrics. It comes with a trunk full of spare parts and documentation.

It was pulled out of a barn in Paso Robles five years ago where it had sat for decades. It is not registered and is out of the CA DMV system, sold with bill of sale only. Note that the license plates shown in the photos are for show only and do not come with the car.

I saw the engine running in August 2025. It started on the first turn of the key and ran smooth and quiet with fuel supplied from the tank through the rebuilt fuel delivery system. That was with an old donor radiator while the original one was getting rebuilt. The engine block was thoroughly flushed while the donor radiator was in the car. The rebuilt radiator is now in the car but that project was not finished. I have not seen the car drive/shift/brake, etc. and I believe it's been decades since it has.
