1940 Ford Standard Custom in Folkstone Gray & V8 Engine Sound on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

[@chuckhaugan4970]

Nothing better than seeing a guy may age with the smile of an 12 year old boy with his first real bicycle. That feeling isn't captured much after that age. His dream came true and he wears it on his sleeve, where it belongs. Very cool to see somebody that excited and happy with a toy!!! I'd smile too! Who wouldn't?

[@loucostabile]

Hi Chuck, You're right, the cars can keep you feeling like you're 12 years old again :-) Lou

[@sandyhanson6082]

Love it! But,dang it...another Chevy engine in a Ford. Enjoy!👍

[@loucostabile]

Hi Sandy, Seems a Ford should have a Ford engine, Lou

[@sandyhanson6082]

@loucostabile Right?... although my old 40 standard had a Chevy engine.😉

[@kenyork1107]

Very nice 40 , my older brother had one in Nashville . I went in the Navy and told him if he ever sold it I wanted it . Well when I came home he traded it for a 64 Comet , we both were sick I have been ever since . Dont ever get rid of it .

Hi Teryl Madlem, Happy to read you're enjoying the episodes with me. I think the secret is I become mentally about 16 years again when I'm around the cars :-) Glad you're along for the ride, and you're welcome, Lou

[@monroe7403]

Slick build, very nice car. I'm not into the modern leather interior and the Chevy 350 though. Needs a flathead back in it, maybe with a blower, or at least a Ford V8.

Ain't too cool on Chev engine, but more reliable than an overheating flap head. Super car.

Hi mouse lee, Happy to receive a "wow" from you :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@arnoldanderson1501]

What a gorgeous car, the only thing that could improve it, would be a nice little 289 cubic inch "Ford" engine. Good grief, all the money spent on this car and then cheap out on the engine!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Arnold Anderson, Glad you enjoy the looks of this car :-) The 289 would be a nice touch, Lou

[@2mikelim]

Tinted windows on a 1940 ford? Caddy didn't have that till 49. Had they been newly made and retro fitted? Or is it a spray-on tint?

[@loucostabile]

Hi Michael, Hmmm, not sure how the windows on this one are tinted. Lou

[@2mikelim]

@@loucostabile I had seen many YT postings of this model and its variations with tinted glass. Perhaps a company had been formed to make new tinted glass for cult classic cars such as this. Couldn't had been a sprayed tint as these will be blemished with time under the sun. Worth investigating, as it'd be a stray off period correctness had new tinted glass been added.

[@willsco76]

Great car, the trunk and interior surprised me.

[@loucostabile]

Hi William Scott, And the interior, and under the hood surprised me too :-) Lou

[@Fairlane55]

Period correct? 350 Chevrolet in a Ford????

[@loucostabile]

Maybe a Ford engine would be better.....

[@eribertoacedo9505]

Nice video nice car I bought one when I was 19 years old $350 drove it for year like it was then started updating everything my car is 48 years old with me it’s almost done again, Would explain what I did it would take to long, I know you’re enjoying that coupe as much as I enjoy mine well thank you for the video.🕶

Why oh why do people want a Chevy engine is a Ford? And why an automatic in an okd-school hotrod?

[@loucostabile]

Hi Michael, I'm not sure, however that's the way this one turned out and I thought it was cool enough to share, Lou

[@garbage854]

Sacrilege!!! Chevy motor in a Ford,just plain wrong🤓

[@loucostabile]

Hi Rob Mitchell, "Sacrilege!!!" I have to say Rob, your comment made me smile :-) Usually I'd agree, however this one is so well done and well put together that I can ignore that.. It's highly likely if we did not tell you it was a Chevy engine under all the chrome and polished aluminum, you'd love this one too :-) Lou

[@robdawg7183]

Don't get me wrong I would love to have that sitting in my garage.wonderful car.i was just messing with you a little.keep posting those beautiful cars

[@loucostabile]

I'm having fun, so I'll keep them coming :-)

[@wyndwalkerranger7421]

How to ruin a classic Ford put a Chevy engine in it, sort of like stocking brookies in Montana.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Wyndwalker Ranger, Clearly this one is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this KZbin Channel you'll enjoy :-) Lou

[@scottbrady7499]

so it's essentially a 1970 nova V8. with a WHOLE lotta Dearborn Michigan and interior appointments that hold up the early history of Ford. magnificently, I might add.. Wonder why the people developing this resto-mod didn't consider the very capable Ford 302 v8 for this. i'm thinking configuration of the engine bay works better with the gm 350. a little more horse power, and a better fit is a win-win in my book. but there are strict fomoco heads out there that always reject the notion of a switcheroo. howbout' a four speed 454 tucked into a 1971 challenger? mopar freaks would definately be underwhelmed.

It is really too bad these cars are going to the Wayside such as this one, anybody can build a butcher hot rod an original stock car is extremely rare and more valuable.

Beautiful car but wrong motor. If you can't figure out how to put a Ford engine in a classic Ford you're in the wrong business.

[@hectorenriquecaino8529]

SACRILEGE!!! 😢😢

[@loucostabile]

:-)

[@Irishfan]

I was liking the car until he said it had a Chevrolet engine in it. It is a sin to mix manufacturers' components in a car. A Ford car should have a Ford engine only. A Chevrolet Engine should only go into a Chevrolet car. General Motors was sued for putting Chevrolet Engines in Oldsmobiles. You just don't put any engine, but a Ford engine in a Ford.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Daniel, Clearly this one is not for you :-( Hope you see many more cars on this KZbin Channel you'll enjoy :-) Lou
