NICE 52 Henry J project on EvilBay

So what if it is a 4, and its locked up? Overdrive or not (possibly not) who cares??....look at the interior, look at the body condition, look at the dash and the option <G> just sitting there. Goodness, save that from a rodder!!!! If I had some money at the moment I'd be all over it, and I would drive there AND tow it home on a dolly trailer, and that is over 1700 miles from me.

To me it looks pretty sad. Huge hole in the rear quarter below the left tail light. A four cylinder without OD (and that one does not have it) is good for trips to the convenient store but that's about it. The grill work on the '52-'53 Js is onion skin thin and once it's rusted as badly as it is on that one there's little that can be done to repair it.  Good luck ever finding those pieces. But you never know... someone just might be able to do it.

If anyone is interested I checked with the owner:

Original color of the car is Saddle Bronze Metallic
Interior is Brown shepard Plaid
Interior paint (according to the Info I had when I did KFOCI HANDBOOK VERSION 4.0) is Caribbean Coral, but I have to wonder as pix suggest Saddle Bronze Metallic more than Caribbean Coral
Car was build with 3 speed manual only
Car is equipped with Accessory Group #6, which is Deck Lid, vacuum booster fuel pump and opening front vent windows. 

Off the cuff estimate is $5-9K for restoration which takes into account replacing the engine, body work, paint and a few other things.  please note that the figure takes into account the idea that the owner can do some of the work themselves rather than having it all done by an outside shop.
