1954 Kaiser Manhattan 4 door FOR SALE
« on: September 18, 2015, 11:59:20 PM »
See photos under General Information, topic "Just arrived". The most rustless body that I have seen in years.  Had plans for it, but income is not adequate for "dream project".  I have $3200 in it and that is all I want.  Have located motor, supercharger, Hydramatic trans, and starter. ..crated for delivery.  Will attempt interior photos this weekend.

Thanks.  What other information can you provide about this auto?  I like to get the whole story when possible.

Would like to see this one stay in the USA.  Have already been contacted by someone outside the USA.

I was under the impression that Kaiser lovers were desperately looking for a good (almost) rust free body to buy.  This is one of them.

The moon and stars need to align just right for you to sell to a KF member. Meaning right place, right price, and buyer motivated.  If you need to sell it to someone in Europe, then go ahead. 
No old cars owned.

Roadmaster,  everyone keeps trying to find one that won't require a mint to get in show condition and THIS is one.

Can't believe someone doesn't want this one.  It has to be one from New Mexico or Arizona..almost NO rust.

No one on this forum wants it, which is a limited geographically spread out audience.  Put it on ebay at no reserve and somebody will buy it.

Members of the KFOCI can run a free FOR SALE ad in KFOCI MONTHLY BULLETIN.  This reaches all regular members of the club (Associate Members are the only ones that do not get publications).  Why not try that instead of posting here?

Thank you for the suggestion.  I have a problem: I'm not a member.

Submit the ad content to the Bulletin Editor and I am pretty sure it will be included.  I do not believe you have to be a member to submit an ad.  An ad would reach a larger audience and they will know where the car is so it may end up as a sale.  But would take awhile.

Just to clarify ~ non-members may submit a "one time only" free ad (preferably sponsored by a current member, but not mandatory). Carpenter contacted me, and his ad will be published in the NOV 2015 issue.
