Buick Other (1940)
for sale

Price: US $500.00

Description:

Model 41D. Questions are welcomed. Lost my indoor storage so this car is in outdoor storage at this time and it deserves better. It is a pretty solid car, well worth making into a great street cruiser. Apparently it was someone’s toy and was registered as an antique up to a dozen or so years ago at which time it appears to have been involved in a small accident in the left front side. Now the left doors are from a ’39 but the dented ’40 doors (Pictures) and door handles are with the car and could be repaired. Repairs were not completed. Belt moldings are in the trunk.
The body is mostly solid, very little rust for a 75 year old and with only a few dings and dents. Even the door & deck lid [deck lid has been damaged in storage/ 3-4 hours to repair] hems look good. AFAICS the floor pans are solid. (Pictures) It has some rust on the frame at the back before the kick-up (Pictures) where it appears to have stood on the ground for quite some time. The lower corner of the left ‘A’ pillar, floor & rocker are accident damaged. (Pictures) Rust damage at right rear ‘dog leg’ (Picture); Left dog leg is pretty good (Picture) Most of the glass is in usable condition, the vent panes, not so much.
The engine & transmission appear to be the original (Pictures) and complete except no manifolds or generator. The engine does turn easily by hand (NOT stuck) and has no noticeable cracks in the castings. The original oil bath air cleaner (Picture) is still there. Past experience tells me it would probably run.
The original upholstery is there, (Pictures) covered by worn out seat covers, but in sound condition; has only 1 noticeable point of damage. The carpeting is totally shot. The door upholstery is there but in poor condition (Pictures).
Almost everything is there for a really nice street cruiser EXCEPT the left front fender & hood assembly. There is no grille either but you probably would not use it anyway. What it DOES NOT have is brakes (so what? you will want to install disc brakes anyway) it does not have lower front control arms (so what? You will be clipping the front end or putting in a Mustang II kit when you install a V8 engine anyway) It does not have bumpers (so what? Everyone removes bumpers) It does not have a radiator (so what? You’ll want a new one for that V-8) it does not have an old rusty gas tank. It does not have stock wheels.
The tires & wheels are enough to roll it onto a trailer but not enough to tow. Buyer will have to send a truck or trailer to transport this vehicle. Help loading can be available.
It is for sale on an ‘as is, where is’ basis and it is being offered in other venues so I reserve the right to end this sale at any time. Bill of sale will be provided as there is no title. I have done my best to give an accurate description however; NO warranty is either offered or implied. Please feel free to ask questions.
