1940 Buick Special - Straight-Eight - 40,779 Miles - North Carolina Title Step back into an era when American automobiles were built with unmistakable style, substantial craftsmanship, and incredible road presence. This 1940 Buick Special is a wonderful example, showing just 40,779 miles and offered with a clean North Carolina title. The exterior wears an authentic patina finish, proudly displaying the age and character it has acquired over the decades. Rather than being restored to perfection, the body retains the imperfections and characteristics you would expect from an 86-year-old automobile, giving this Buick a wonderfully honest vintage appearance. Under the hood is one of the most distinctive features of this Buick--the legendary Buick inline eight-cylinder, or \"Straight Eight,\" engine. The engine was rebuilt in 2024 and has traveled less than 500 miles since the rebuild, providing the next owner with the benefit of significant recent mechanical work while retaining the classic powerplant that makes these Buicks so special. Recent mechanical updates and maintenance include: Straight-Eight engine rebuilt in 2024 Less than 500 miles since engine rebuild New fuel tank New fuel lines New battery Fresh oil change 40,779 miles showing Clean North Carolina title From its sweeping fenders and prominent chrome grille to its wide whitewall tires and unmistakable prewar styling, this 1940 Buick Special has the presence that makes early American automobiles so desirable.
