1940 Ford Standard 2 Door Sedan

1940 Ford Standard 2 Door Sedan Description

Update: This is a standard car, not deluxe.
Up for auction is a beautiful 1940 Ford Standard 2 door sedan. This car came right out of storage a few days ago after being tucked away since the late 80's. It was a running and driving car when parked. Since then, the ignition and key were taken out. The flathead v8 motor and 3 speed transmission are original to my knowledge. The motor does turn over by hand, but with the ignition taken out, I have not tried starting this car. The body has some damage, mostly on the trim below the trunk lid and some broken trim pieces on the grill. The frame is solid. We do have both front and rear bumpers that belong to this car. They are at a different location at the time, but we will have them put in the car before the car leaves our location. No title. We applied for a title through the state of Minnesota and will receive it at a later date. It does take several months to get titles back. It will be mailed to the winning bidder of this auction. The car will leave our property with a notarized bill of sale for the time being. Overall, it is a very sound car needing total restoration.
All vehicles are being sold in as-is condition. We do not warranty them. We do our best to give the most accurate descriptions and will disclose any information we know about the vehicle. Please ask us for more photos if you are unsure about the condition. Getting photos of the underside of a vehicle is difficult as we do not have a car lift.

Buyers can make payment at any time. We accept check, money orders, Paypal and all major credit cards. There is a 3% charge for all Paypal and credit card charges. Non-refundable deposits can also be made. A deposit will hold a vehicle for 45 days. After the 45 days, buyer will lose deposit and vehicle will be held for resale. Buyer has 45 days from the time of making full payment to collect vehicle, unless prior arrangements with us are made. After 45 days, buyer will lose vehicle and any money paid. We do not refund money. Like any other car dealer, once a car is paid for, it’s yours!

Transporting vehicle is your responsibility. We can assist in finding transport and loading vehicle. We have a skidsteer on site, but cannot drive the skidsteer onto their trailer or lift vehicle up. Please find a transporter that has a flatbed trailer and winch. We’ve had problems with transporters coming with double decker trailers. These aren’t the most suitable in hauling these old non-running vehicles. Keep in mind, transporting any vehicle will cost around $1 per mile from Thief River Falls, MN 56701 or Crookston, MN 56716. Please look at our location as we have two lots of vehicles in two different cities.

Some of our vehicles do not have titles. The titles were lost several years ago and the vehicles were abandoned. We can apply for and receive a title, at no cost to you, for a vehicle if it’s bought at full asking price. The process to receive a title back from the Minnesota DMV takes between 3 and 6 months.

Thank you
