1951 kAISER 2-DOOR DELUXE Mileage: 75519
Transmission: Automatic
Engine: 8 Cylinder, 307 CID V8 L

1984 OLDS CHASSIS, DRIVETRAIN AND SUSPENSION !!

I am looking for opinions about the value of the above car given that it is far from original.  Does the value increase or decrease when the car is placed on a '84 Olds chassis with an 8 cylinder engine and auto trans?

Appreciate anyone's thoughts.
Thanks,
John

Nice, Nice Car if you built it for your own enjoyment fantastic.
From my view the car does not represent a Collectible Kaiser.
It is now a fun driver - very much of an eye catcher.
This car if it was stock restored to original 2Dr $10K.
This car heavily modified a fun $5K car.
Just my thoughts! 
It will be interesting to see what it does not sell for as it probably will not reach the reserve.

The seller is representing it as a club coupe but it is obviously a two door sedan.  In looking underneath the car does it look like a different chassis?  Not to me but it has obviously had the drive line changed and maybe the front suspension.  There was a very nice looking club coupe at Salem for sale with updated driveline and the owner was asking $18,000.  A pretty maroon car.

He bills the car as original on eBay but also states it is a Kaiser body on a 1984 olds chassis.  Some people have no idea on how to honestly describe cars, do they?

I too noticed right away that car is a two door sedan, not a coupe. The seller likely would not know the difference and I stopped correcting /informing ebay sellers of errors years ago. All I can say now is 'Caveat emptor.'  In my humble opinion, the 1951 Kaiser 2 door sedan is not that rare. While there were definitely far fewer of them produced than the 4 door sedan, the production numbers for them are around 12,500 which means there were more of them produced than '54 Manhattans, '51 Frazers or '53 Henry Js. Just my opinion.

Sorry guys, I am not ashamed of being a stock nazi and that car is gross.  There is nothing wrong with the way original K-F cars drive in their original configuration.
