Members of the KFOCI can post a WANTED ad in the KFOCI MONTHLY BULLETIN for free.  It reaches all the regular members, or many times the number of club members that check out postings on the forum.

There was one for sale on ebay earlier this year. It was in Cannon Falls, MN just  a hop skip and jump from me.  I know the seller said he'd recently restored a Darrin but never noted his name and the membership book does not list any KFOC members in Cannon Falls or towns near there. Maybe the owner of the Darrin the guy did is a club member.  If it's any consolation, the seller wanted a very high price for it. It is rare that's for sure.

here you go

I have a frame from a 1954 Kaiser Darrin. The left front corner had at some time been wrecked. I found a
different frame and still have the old one. If interested call 320-269-7701 days or 320-269-0984 eves for
info.

Isn't it the same frame for a Henry J?

Darrins used the front section from the HJ frame with the rear being unique to the Darrin. The brakes are from the big Kaisers and you can tell the difference when stopping a Darrin versus a J.
