They are obviously asking way more than the market will bear.  Orphan brands, as a rule, don't bring the kind of money other brands seem to demand.   For that kind of money, I would expect. the engine compartment and the bottom to look like the outside, which it does not.

I know the owner of the Henry J and in a conversation with him, he admits to probably paying too much for the car when he bought it. It's now time to sell so he's trying to recoup some of his purchase price and the broker has tacked on a tidy sum for his work - hence the asking price.

Yes, this is the one that sold at Barret-Jackson for $30,000 which was most unusual.
