he might be wrong about the 8 cylinder engine since he does not know much about mechanics but he reassured me it was the original engine, I will take pictures in a couple weeks and post them. I saw the car but not under the hood.

Cars For Sale & Wanted / 1955 Kaiser Manhattan 2 door supercharged

« on: January 24, 2011, 01:57:29 PM »

I was visiting someone I met a few years ago, I told this old man that I was looking for a classic car to buy, a project something interesting. He took me to his back yard and one on the cars he showed me was a 1955 Kaiser Manhattan supercharged 2 door. He said it is one of 44 cars made in that year, I did some research and found out it is true what he said, but I still would like to know how rare is really this car, the whole car needs complete restoration, there might be some rust here and there, but the car is over complete, how much should I offer him? he said he might be interested in selling the car. Any help would be appreciated. One more thing he mentioned is that the car has an 8 cylinder engine, that is the original engine and that is not v8 or straight 8 but some different configuration and he reassured me that this is the original engine.
Thanks a lot for any help. I dont have pictures now. I might be able to get some in a couple weeks.
