This 1940 Ford Standard 2 Door Coupe is a World Record holder, having propelled Jerry Helwig to a legendary run. It features a highly modified 284 flathead 8-cylinder engine under the hood with a 3-speed manual transmission.

Personally owned by the legendary Salt Flats racer Gerald 'Jerry' Helwig, this vehicle set a class World Record many decades ago. Known as 'The Coupe', it was featured in numerous books, magazines, newspaper articles, and advertisements throughout the years.

The interior is in fairly rough condition, but the vehicle still produces incredible power and appears to be in good mechanical condition. It includes all the parts to bring it back to its Bonneville state, such as a roll cage, racing harness, lightweight drive shaft, and cogs for the rear end.

Given its incredible history, this vehicle likely belongs in a museum. As a highly iconic and historic racing machine, it is a rare find and a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts.
