I understand. We lose power regularly around here due to storms and just transformers blowing up. 

 

Plains, PA is is less than two hours away. That's a really tempting vehicle, and he'd probably take a little less for it if you paid cash on the spot.

I was surprised any part of the posting showed up this morning since the power just went out instantly.   If you do go inspect this Kaiser, please give us a report on your findings.

Sharp. A great way to introduce oneself to the hobby at a reasonable price.

Unfortunate the seller couldn't include photos of the"lovely" interior, or anything under the hood.

I know nothing about Kaiser values, but $11K seems like a good starting point for such a striking car.

The wheel covers started life on a Henry J. It's also missing the front and rear bumper bullets. My guess is that they were dented and not worth replating. Finding good units is getting harder so that's no surprise. Some interior and under hood shots would go a long way towards justifying an ask over $10K.
