1940 Cad 4 door 24,000 mile Survivor

Selling for a good friend, 24,000 mile Original paint Car, still has the original exhaust and even has the original valance below rear bumper, runs and drives like new, paint isn't perfect from resting all those years.MN guys, check out the radio stations. Bought new in Mpls and has only had 3 owners. Get in it and drive across the US. $39,500

All I can say is WOW! They don't seem to drive much in MN. The last low mileage Cadillac I saw was also from MN. It was a 1950 that I looked at back in the late 90's and it only had 13K miles.

You have to see it to believe it guys..... just get in it and drive across the country... works perfect!!!!

Where is located the car ? For more pictures office_automobilia@yahoo.com Thanks !

its in Annandale, MN at my house. will send more pictures now

This is a Real Nice Car Guys.....

A SLICE OF TIME -

oh, and buyers, don't worry about the stuff which obscures the upper portion of the speedometer. My essentially original 1941 Cadillac had the same stuff which oozed, or melted ionto the same area. It scrapes off with just a razor blade, revealing undamaged glass.

Great car, very appealing, too expensive by 20-25%. I sold my all-original, low-mileage 1941 Cadillac 60S which was the AACA HPOF car of the year in 2012 for about 3/4 of the asking price on this one, and the '41 60 Special is likely a more desirable car. Sadly, as much as I like 4-door sedans and survivors, there's a very hard cap on the values--even an ultra-low-mileage survivor like this isn't going to be worth more than other cars like it. I've found that quality survivors are usually worth about the same as restored cars, but their survivor status makes buyers willing to overlook deterioration and other issues that would not be acceptable on a restored car. It levels the field, but doesn't give the unrestored car any advantage.

Price this one at $29,900 and it'll sell pretty quickly. But at $40,000 there are a lot of more attractive options. I bet you've gotten offers around $30K, no? I would consider taking one of them, it's the right price.

Good luck, I like the car!

Sold a 41 for 42.000 couple years ago about the same condition. Just saying.

Positive... I like your attitude !!!!!!! Thank You Selling for a friend, so its not my decision what to price it at.

This is a GREAT car....... the price might seem alittle high, but the owner already did the $8000 worth of work to it that you would have to do to a car with 3 times the miles and not original..... Get what you pay for. I see some early 60's Mopars being sold for same price and needing work.... just sayin.....

To me a 24,000 mile survivor and $8000 of work does not go together

But a nice car.

The work done to this car was things like, gas tank get sent to Tank-Renu, hoses, belts, the original wheel cyls and master getting resleeved and all the other little things to make it safe again after resting inside for so many years. I have the slips to show what was done and once you would see the car, there is NOTHING hid or funny about it....Its a car that's not for everyone, but a true Cadillac Purest would enjoy it better than a New one.

Not an expert on cars of that era but it looks like a driveable dream to me. I would just enjoy it. Beautiful car!

Have you considered posting it for sale on the Cadillac/LaSalle club forum also?

Perfect weather for a nice drive in a Legit old Cad.......

Took it for a spin...Works like new !!!!

Did anyone else notice it has all of the old Minnesota radio stations on the radio? Annadale must be pretty close to the Mississippi River.
