1940 Ford Roadster Convertible

• The car in most photos is a small orange kit-style roadster, not a full-size stock 1940 Ford — the proportions, tilt-up front clip and modern cabin are all replica/kit in character, and the colour photographs orange rather than the recorded red.
• The orange paint looks glossy in the studio views, with a vertical grille, round headlamps and chrome-style hubcaps on whitewall-look tyres.
• Many photos show the whole front clip tilted forward, exposing the front-mounted engine and inner structure, but no close engine-bay detail photo is included.
• The car appears both with a white top fitted and with the top down as an open two-seater.
• The interior photos show grey and black diamond-pattern seats, a wood-rim steering wheel and a modern-looking dash and controls.
• The odometer photo shows 27330, matching the recorded 27,330 miles.
• One rear-compartment photo shows a battery on a metal tray with red cabling.
• The final two photos show different cars — a red 1930s-style roadster and a brown-and-tan vintage car — and are not this car.
• No underside photos in the set, so the floors and frame can't be judged.

Money: Warning — at $12,000 the photos support a small orange kit/replica roadster, not an original 1940 Ford, so value it as a kit car; budget for checking the donor running gear, and the underside that can't be judged matters most at this price.
