Wanted North AL - looking for 40(s)

Location

United States

Hey y'all. Looking for a cheaper 40 that runs and drives and is overall unmolested. Trying to spend no more than $10k. It seems like the market is either $1500 junk piles or $50k fully restored Cruisers... I want something that I can wrench on and fix up and mall-crawl with and not worry about getting dirty so if it belongs at a car show I don't need to be anywhere near it. No preference on year, body rust is fine as long as the holes aren't too big, engine swaps are tolerable if the price is right, BJ40 would be cool but I'm open to anything.

I also have a work buddy who has a bug for one (alright, I gave him the bug and he gave it back to me) and his budget might be a bit higher for one that is more turn-key. We'll definitely entertain anything that comes our way.

Thanks!

Hey just ran across this posting... I know of one in Guntersville that I drive by every day on my way to work. I think it's actually on Craigslist right now. Green. Probably a 75-78 I'd say. I don't know anything else about it. Let me know if you're still looking and I'll do what I can to get more info. I'm a 40 owner so it catches my eye every morning..

@mct75 I just posted mine on CL. I can send you pics if interested. It’s a 6/71 original motor. No rust. Runs great. You can shoot me a text if you are interested. Asking 10,500
