I think a 40 coupe can only go up in value.....drake did us a big favor for ford ,,,like dynacorn did for the 69 camaro!!

Three very nice 40 Deluxe coupes on Early V8 site classified currently. Two are $20,000-$21,500. Must have been Drakes passion to repro but certainly not all that hard to find for the money.

I bought a set of rocker panels from drake fo a 38 convt [there the same as the 40] They were wonderful , made of heavy metal and were a perfect fit. I have seen some of the other panels and they appear ripple free and very good quality If it wern't for Bob and those panels there would be a lot more poorly repaired old Fords
