I was looking at a pretty solid 40 in Louisiana a few weeks ago but someone else picked it up for $1500. Will be on the lookout.

Yea it broke my heart when he said someone came and picked it up.

The engine needed work and there was surface rust but even the hard top was in great shape.

hey guys... saw a great lookin forty on my back to columbus this evening.. took a ton of pics so i'll post them and the phone number.. the guys asking price is a little outrageous but it looked like a solid unmolested cruiser - must have been a factory soft top since it had the footman loops and the light/switch on the passenger dash - pics to come

there was some rust in the rear sill area and rockers but otherwise looked pretty solid.. here are some more pics

also had an extra rear tank.. a dealer installed speaker??

Called the owner today. What is a reasonable price for a 40
in that condition?

 

[MEMCruiser]

I received an email from the 40 owner in tuscaloosa if anybody wants me to forward them to you let me know.

i would need to hear it run/drive it otherwise anywhere from $1000-$5000 i didn't see under the hood but the oil pan looked to have been replaced.. doesn't mean much but there could have been other work on the motor...

if anyone wants to arrange it.. i'm really not that far and wouldn't mind going on a weekend to test drive it/take more pics and post back what i saw

 

[MEMCruiser]

from the pics it seemed really rusty to me. i know all 40s struggle with that but for the price it seemed rusty.

 

[antFJ]

rusty? i would have to disagree.. it might need a rear sill and some patches but that frame has slight surface rust and look at the inside of that truck.. the lip where the hardtop mounts looks mint.. no rust at all

i'm driving my brother to the airport today going that way.. i'll take some more pics

whats reasonable price on this 40?
