Looks like you may have posted thumbnail photos. Do you have the URL where the pictures came from? Post a link to the pictures and anyone interested can go directly to the website.

All 51 Frazer convertibles were automatics.

That would be an EXTREMELY AMBITIOUS AND COSTLY restoration project. Neither one my '51 Frazer hardtops (since sold) were that bad and it took us years and we never finished one of them because we just got burned out trying to make it all come together.

The car appears to be complete.  Did anyone find out how much money he wants for it?

There is a large thread on the AACA forum on those Lincolns. Based on the Lincoln thread, I would expect he wants $8000 to $15,000 for this Frazer. He will be basing that off price guides and those are inflated.

It’s always fun to still see these finds pop up but sad that they could not have been released sooner. 
No old cars owned.

A comment on price guides...the OLD CARS price guides have not moved in value significantly on K-F or willys products in years; they are lower than the information State Farm uses for cars of same condition.  Barbarea & I know this from first hand expedrience.,

Weren't the first six Frazer convertibles stick shift with overdrive?

Very true for the Aero also, couple decades at least. Real life sales struggle to come anywhere close to those values unless a car is exceptionally pristine.
Given that, my insurance company allowed a higher declared value than top book price on my restoration and will go higher after completion with an appraisal. Whether anyone would ever write a check for even the current value is doubtful.

This is true; our HJ had a similar situation and I do know of another Kaiser where the replacement value is much higher than normal market price because the owner backed up his request with invoices and other proof of investment.  Some companies are taking into account the actual replacement cost rather than market.

To answer an earlier question - it is purported that the first six 51 Frazer hardtops were stick shift equipped cars. I know that cars number one and four are so equipped.
