That looks like an early special two door sedan and you don't find many of them restored.  An interesting car but an ambitious project.

It is strange;  Early Specials had just rubber molding around the windshield with a stainless divider bar (I still have 1 of those) and those long narrow shiny things in one of the photos may be the later rub rail molding.  Would know for sure if the firewall body tag information (ITEM and SCHED number) along with door post serial number would have been provided.

He won't come close to those prices especially since it is in Montana.  No matter where you are, unless you are one of the few KF collectors in Montana, add $1000 to $2000 to get it home. 

Sellers seldom consider that.  They just do some google searches, find out 2 door Kaisers are kind of rare and add $2000 to $4000 to what cost them $200 to pull it off a farm. 

No old cars owned.
