Selling my 1951 Henry J 6 Cylinder, 3 speed with overdrive

[DylanFan]

I have decided to sell my 1951 Henry J rather than turn it into a drag car.  The body has been sand blasted down to bare metal and it has been primered.  The car has new tires, new brakes and a recent tuneup.  It runs and drives good.  I would rather that it was restored because of the scarcity of these cars.  I would like to get $6,500 for he car.  My wife doesn't want me to put  lot of money into restoring the car.  I have all the front end parts to put it back to stock.  The Moon tank on the front will go with the car.  Here are some pictures.

Here are some additional pictures!  The car has a fold down rear seat and a trunk lid!

I just got done putting the bumper and grille back into the car!  That isn't rust on the grille and bumper but reflections from inside the garage.  I can't get it out of the garage because my wife is parked behind it!

The car has been sold to a guy from Maryland.  He and his son drove down to Kentucky towing a trailor.  They loaded the car, paid me in cash and were gone within an hour.  They were two cool dudes.  He called me today and thanked me for the car and said that he has found the car to be in very good condition!  I should have held out for $7,000 but I let it go for $5,600.  He sounded very happy to have the car!

Great you sold the car, We all say we should have sold it for more, we should have paid less, the main thing is you took what you felt comfortable with and you have money for the next phase of your life. Henry

TO FRAZER BROWN

The car in Ky ran, drove, had a fairly good interior and was complete and currntly licensed/titled.  The car was worth quite a bit more than a barn find that hasn't run in decades.
