Heh, this reminds me of when I had a '53 Henry J and a friend wanted to put a 392 and cast iron auto into it. I didn't think it would hold up to a 1000 motor and transmission ;)
Ended up with a 215 Olds aluminum V8 with auto, ran pretty good.
I don't think I've ever seen a Henry J in person before. It's a cool find, but I'd have to say that '58 DeSoto would be my dream car. The one in your video even has the added chrome dress-up package that became available on DeSoto's half-way into the model year, I believe.
I would have sold the DeSoto ......you take the Henry, slap in a 350 chevy spray on some grey primer and its on the road smoking mustangs in 2 months for dirt cheap. The DeSoto will have you in tears before long
a car named after a guy?

We actually sold it about a month ago for $2500. The people are going to restore it to be a bracket racer again. =)

My Dad bought this car in 1972. It is the one he has had the longest, so we are going to restore it.
