If you leave the parking brake on and drive for 30 to 40 minutes how much damage would that deal to the car and how much would it cost to fix it?

You will need to replace the rear brake friction -- shoes, pads, whatever. Also, check to see if the drum or rotor is discolored due to overheating. If so, they will need replaced, too. If overheating of the brakes occurred, the following isn't required, but highly recommended: replace the brake fluid in the system. How much all this will cost depends on who's doing the work. A shop in my area charges from $200 all the way up to $500 for this particular repair... call a good shop in your area.
