Vehicle Description 

Up for auction is one of the nicest total frame-off, restored to original factory specifications Henry J's in existence.

No money was spared in this restoration!  This is a Kaiser-Frazer Owners Club GOLD medal standard car. This Henry J was a low mile car when restored. The odometer shows 26,739 actual miles.

The body and red exterior paint are better than when it was new. All stainless and chrome is in new condition. Frame and under chassis all restored and no nut or bolt was left untouched. The engine is the six cylinder, 161 cu. in., 80 hp with three speed manual transmission with overdrive. The original interior is excellent and like new.  Car looks and drives like it just rolled out of the showroom.  This is your chance to own one of the finest examples of a Henry J in the world.

Optional equipment includes: heater/defroster package, radio package, fog lights, fresh air vents, turn signals, courtesy lights, rear quarter vent wings, back-up lights, windshield washer kit, remote spare tire air hose, overdrive transmission, oil filter kit.

Additional accessories include: original pleated Dragon Vinyl upholstery, folding rear seat, bumper guards, cigarette lighter, front vent wings, full wheel covers, chrome horn ring, second seashell horn, oil bath air cleaner, door trim mouldings & armrests, right hand sunvisor, rear ashtrays.

Notables: New 6.40 x 15 WWW, new nobs, new wiring harness, new battery, new complete brake system, new exhaust/muffler, rebuilt transmission, rebuilt engine, new switches, new chrome, new glass, new rubber, excellent interior and exterior finish.  The next owner has choice of full wheel covers or small hubcaps with trim rings.

Ask questions before bidding. Good luck.  $1000.00 due within 3 days, remainder within ten days, at which time the title will be mailed to new owner.

On Nov-04-05 at 19:28:36 PST, seller added the following information:

My Henry J should in no way be compared to the other "restored" Henry J currently listed on ebay.  Unlike the other ebay Henry J, my car has the correct front and rear bumpers, correct rubber floor mats, correct foglights, correct foglight location, correct door sill paint, correct seat material, correct backup lights.  My car is clean underneath and the engine compartment is painted black just like it should be.  My car has ALL Auto-Lite electrics - made in the '50's - not current NAPA replacement parts.  My car is done the right way.  I would compare my car to the black Henry J that went unsold on eBay last month - except mine has nearly every available option for 1951 plus a few other nice touches (like the remote master cylinder reservior) which make for a better driving/servicing experience.

My Henry J was only about 90% restored when I purchased it five years ago.  The list of the things addressed during the restoration would fill up this entire space.  Most of the items above were in great condition but were added simply because a slightly better (in most cases NOS) part became available.  Please e-mail with specific questions.  Best of Luck!
