for sale 1940 Buick Special Model 41 Sedan SOLD

Matt Harwood · July 10, 2018

*SOLD* Nicely done older restoration with a brand new interior. Very good Carlsbad Black paint that shines up well. Car is from the west coast, so rust is a non-issue and all four doors close with authority. Much of the chrome was restored recently, although there's some very light pitting still in the grille--not terribly noticeable but it's there. Not really a surprise. Interior isn't 100% correct but it is brand new and very nicely done and it remains bright, spacious, and comfortable for touring. All the lights and gauges work, radio delete, and the clock isn't hooked up. I think the speedometer is a bit of a pessimist and reads perhaps 10 MPH slow at 45 MPH. Nice engine-turning on the dash, restored garnish moldings, wheel was probably restored years ago and shows some minor cracking now but isn't coming apart. Trunk is tidy and includes matching fifth whee/tire. Rebuilt 248 cubic inch straight-8 and nicely detailed. Starts quickly and easily, idles smoothly, pulls the car around with genuine enthusiasm. Chassis is original but no rust or other issues, just a little crusty. Brakes recently rebuilt and it sits on fresh Coker wide whitewall radials with only about 30 miles on them. Nice little car that's fun to drive and great if you have a family; I obviously love my sedans. Priced at $19,900, ready to enjoy immediately. Thanks for looking!
