I looked at it too. I think it would make a good project/car for someone.

Looks like it has several holes in the floor. How hard is it to find the tail light and the buttons for the doors?

Nell & I had the '51 Frazer taillight lenses reproduced a few years ago and still have a few remaining from the second production. The door push buttons will be difficult to find.

Bid is still pretty low with 4 days left. But being a dealer, and no reserve, my guess is that they will pull the auction near the end if the bid is not high enough for them.

Noticed that most of the interior is green, but it has blue windlace, blue headliner, and the back of the front seat looks blue too. That isn't a factory color combo is it??

I would not mind driving this around at all, and fix the small things it needs while having fun with it. But the heavy surface rust underneath would need a personal examination - at least for me.

It sold for $4850.  I don't see how you could go wrong for that price.
