The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Panels 'N Burbs 1940 suburban price

found a unrestored no back seats, rust free, some dents and bumps wrong steering wheel, later 6 cylinder, some cracked glass driver guy wants 15000.00 is it worth it? i have to make a decision pretty quick thanks

$15K?? Too high. My 41 has rust and came with a cracked engine but was $1500. You can have a lot of rust repaired for $13,500. $7000 would be more like it, unless its really nice.

Quick chance low ball price of $6500.

Just sayin.....

He is non negotiable

I doesn't matter what it's worth to the world, it's what it's worth to you that should matter.

Pass!

You can always make an offer and see what happens.

The price range for those early burbs over on this side is about right for a complete non molested truck in running and driving conditions.i know that in the east they are cheaper but you will have to deal with a lot of rod in them.if any of you fellas out towards the East Can find a Burb in that condition for cheaper post it up for him.or point him in the right direction.

Do you have any pictures of it ??

Hi. I had a 1940 burb I sold about two years ago, when I lived in Florida. Moved to Texas because grand kids and wife. Had it up for sale for 7000. Sold it for 2500 I think. I\It was it was a driver. Had everything except front bumper and two rear seats.
Wished I still had it. $15000 is a lot for what your post reads.
take a good look at the roof should be solid, no holes. the back of that burb looks like steel but is really wood and steel. rear inside, where windows go, is wood frame wrapped in steel. rear window inside is wood frame insert. tail gate is wood frame inside for support. The one I sold had main body done. all wood repaired wood window molding deck with new bed strips. needed fenders running boards reworked and hood repaired. All in All I had around $12000 into it. I figured around another $20000 to finish it. Suburban's are more expensive to restore. $6000 or $7000 I would say tops. At $15000 it should be complete truck no missing parts. At that kind of money you can buy a daily driver not a 40 burb but 50s 60s 70s truck. Only reason I can think is 1028 as I remember 40 burbs made. I would walk away if he will not go lower. Take a good look again at it Make him an offer leave your name and number with him. Hope this helps. Jbennett

Under Ebay completed listings, found a 1941 in pretty reasonable shape in Alabama. Pretty complete looking. Some rust. $2000......Did NOT sell as far as I can see. If I was back there, I sure would look at that boys! He is an honest, 100% feedback guy, WITH A TITLE!!!!!
I will say with something that old, I don't really know what "reasonable shape" is for sure. It just has the "original look", completeness and extra parts of stuff I like to buy. you can find it for a short time under 111518716460.
