Title: 49 Frazer
Post by: stude64 on March 16, 2012, 11:56:20 AM

I found this 49 Frazer on the Boise,Idaho Craigs List. It could be a ambitious rebuild or parts. The seller is Bill at 208-324-1073.

I want a 49 Frazer Manhattan. They are always thousands of miles away from Iowa. That one looks pretty good.

$500?  I know Idaho cars are largely rust free.  That's a bargain.

I called Bill the seller and we had a good conversation.  Here is the deal. He purchased 4 KF's from a local guy . One he turned into a street rod, 2 were only good for parts, and there was this 49 Frazer. He saw no Manhattan badges.

But it has no rust out in the pans, the grille is nice and it is complete. The $500 is not an issue for me but trasnport costs to Iowa are.  He stated he could hold it but is in the process of going out of business as a restoration/modification shop and rents the building so it would need to go before the building goes back to the owner. 

$500 is basically crusher price.  I own a 49 Kaiser and I still think the 49 Frazer was the best manifestation of the 1st series cars.  Grille, dash and well integrated taillights sell me.

Great KF project,  bad location in this economy.
