This one is interesting:

First it was $27,500

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Other-Makes-Henry-J-Light-beige-/331937194443?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4d48ffa1cb:g:TlQAAOSw0UdXrAGX&item=331937194443

then $22,995

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Other-Makes-Henry-J-Light-beige-/331945543477?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4d497f0735:g:TlQAAOSw0UdXrAGX&item=331945543477

then  $17,500

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Other-Makes-Henry-J-Light-beige-/331953870560?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4d49fe16e0:g:TlQAAOSw0UdXrAGX&item=331953870560

and now, $16,000

It might be a fine classic car for someone but it appears that it is case of "I put this much money into it so I have to get this much out" and then the market reality sets in. It looks a lot like Edgar's car with that color. I do like yellow on the later Js.

The difference between reality and asking prices is never more evident than the attempted sale of Henry Js.
Let me show you what a $23,000 Henry J really looks like.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the car that sold at Barret-Jackson circa 2009  for $30,000

I have seen those 1946-7 Ford heaters in other Henry J's.  Are they authentic for a Henry J also?

Gordie, since heaters were optional in the Henry J you do see some aftermarket units in them. It wouldn't surprise me if a dealer/owner installed a Ford heater in one back in the day.  Period correct may be the best way to classify it.

Oh, and the car is down to $15,500 now

When it gets down to around $1,000 I will bid!

The owner wants to recover the $2,000 he has in tires and wheels.The whole car is overpriced for rodders who only want a body and over "ownerized" for people who just want a good Henry J. With stock wheels and tires ,some folks would put up with the odd color and you might see it sell at 11-12k.

It's now $14,250.00. It's only a couple hours from me, but still to expensive for this one.
