Selling because I have to many toys and not enough time to finish them all. If you want big power and flash this car not for you. Buying this car gives you a piece of retail history and one you will be proud of. Located in Southeast Kansas, car is 4 on condition rating, great buy at $5,000

Look at that ALLSTATE head, I didn't know they did that!   I figured it would just be a straight head without any identification.

Isn't this a very rare car because they only made a few Allstate's to begin with?    Would be fun to own as a novelty but not a $5000 novelty. 
No old cars owned.

Kaiser-Frazer had the HJ engines cast as Kaiser Supersonics on the heads, and Willys had their own name on their version of the part.  Since there was no "blank" version of the head, it would cost just as much to make molds with "Allstate" on them as it would a blank. 

Remember too, that Allstate tags say "Sears Roebuck & Company" on them rather than Kaiser-Frazer Corporation. 

If the interior upholstery is original and intact with no holes, tears, etc, the price might not be out of line.
