The '40 Ford is a modified drag-racing version of the 1940 Ford Pickup. It was designed by Phil Riehlman and debuted in early editions in 1998. It has been used many times since its conception in various mainstream and premium series, and in particular as Treasure Hunt in 2002. Phil Riehlman's initials can be found on the base. The casting was changed in 2022; The casting now features a post-post design instead of a tab-post design, the snorkel air intake is a simpler design and cast into the bodywork and the rear wing is cast as part of the bodywork instead of be part of the inner piece. Phil Riehlman's initials have also been removed from the base. Ford Specialty: With a snorkel hood, roll bars, roll cage, and parachute, this drag truck was made to “rev up” speed on the 1/4 mile!
