 Here it is! One of the most desirable and hard to find specialty cars! This car was completed (It is titled as a 1966) and driven on a daily basis in the past but unfortunately the person that owned it before me decided to completely disassembled it and never finish it. I picked it up and did my best to give it the attention it deserves but present circumstances dictate its gotta be sold so someone else can finish her up the way they please. I will try to be as thorough as possible but if you have any questions that need answered please feel free to message me.
 When I received the car it was basically a basket case with no motor or transmission. The first order of business was to take the body off the frame and see what we had. The frame has been set up really well with a Mustang II front suspension, a 9" rear-end with a 4-link and coilovers. All of the body mounts, ball-joints, rack and pinion steering and everything else on the chassis is new with zero miles. The brakes are all new and all of the lines and hoses are ran as well. Next, I was looking for a small block for power but found a tight, great running 4-bolt 454 from a Suburban that had been taken care of and a deal was struck to put a torque monster of an engine in this 1900 lb car...hehehe. This is gonna be one WILD ride. After scouring the local internet ads I got lucky once again and found a B&W Super T10 4 speed transmission that was in a running, driving 1970 Camaro. The guy was parting out the car because he needed money and I was lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time. The transmission shifted fine, didn't make any funny noises or have any leaks plus its got a Hurst shifter! Before I mated the two pieces together I cleaned up the 454 checked the bottom bearings, put in a new oil pump and replaced the rear main just for good measure. After a coat of Chevy Orange I mounted all of the bolt on parts which are new (starter, alternator, water-pump, aluminum pulleys, finned aluminum valve covers...etc.) Plus, its got STAINLESS STEEL HEADERS...woo-hoo! The Edelbrock intake and carb are used but work just as well used as they do new. The carb will probably need a rebuild as its been sitting on a shelf for a couple years. As I said before the trans checked out fine so I bought a new clutch kit, BB flywheel and bolted the two together for a match made in heaven! In order to get around clutch linkage I converted it to a hydraulic clutch with a specialty bracket and common slave cylinder that will provide much better service than that clunky hardware ever did. Of course the motor and transmission mounts were replaced and checked accordingly. Every bolt I turned has been torqued to spec on the drive line! After the motor/trans were mounted up I realized the original drive shaft was about an inch too long so off to the machine shop to get all new U-joints, slip yoke and minor circumcision...ouch. After the surgery she fit perfect and now the drive-line is complete. I am so disappointed that I won't get to drive this beast!
  After the chassis was checked and double checked the body was put back in place (two of us this time) that was rough but we did it. All the body bolts and mounting pads were freshened up and put in place (as you'll see there are a bunch of them). The body was generally in very good shape considering the questionable restoration efforts of the previous owner. There were a few chips along the rockers and underneath the tail but that’s the beauty of fiberglass its easy to fix and looks good afterward. After all the major chips were taken care of I set about filling about the little pin-holes which were unearthed buy the afore mentioned owner when he stripped the car of its original paint. To make the process a bit easier to asses, I bought a gallon of "Slick-sand" primer/surfacer and gave her a nice coat of light gray so I could see just exactly how many pin holes there were...billions. But the good news is, they are now easy to see and fill with the glaze of your choice (How exciting is that?!). The floors/tub are in great condition with no rot or damage.
  Now, as I said this was a basket case and as such I have plenty of parts that go with this beauty. I will touch on a few of the benefits of these parts. The "original" door window regulators, frames and hardware are complete and were working when removed. These parts seem to be extremely rare. The glass has delaminated over the years but its just flat glass and you can use these for your patterns. I also have the rear quarter glass but again they have not aged well and will be best used as a pattern for new glass. The door latch mechanisms are still in the doors and work fine they just don’t have the handles, which are common enough. The steering wheel is original to the car as well, these were an option from the Kellison catalog. The steering column is in place and the linkage is all there. The original "roll-bar" is there. The headlights are included also but there is only one "bucket" my plan was to use the metal bucket to make a mold and fabricate a couple of new ones out of fiberglass. This works much better in my opinion because if you know about these cars they use vintage (see RUSTY) parts from a few other vehicles. The windshield wiper assembly and arms are also included (very rare). There is an accessory support bar that bolts to the frame just in front of the firewall, the reason its not bolted in is that it doesn't clear the new distributor. It needs to have a C-shape put in the middle to get around the cap. Other than that its just two bolts in and its done. Also included but needs no introduction: 4 speed pedal assembly, brake master cylinder, NEW 1967 Corvette radiator, NEW 57 Chevy fuel tank with sender, NEW set of Auto Meter gauges, Battery, Original rear view mirror and whatever else I can't remember.

  The major missing parts are for the most part easy to find and would have needed replaced anyway. Rubber weather seals, windshield (1951-52 Stude), rear window (1949 Buick), tail lights and turn signals are just standard 3" round units,  hood hinges (Triumph TR) the front grill is missing but there is a gentleman reproducing them for a reasonable price. I had planned on making one a bit more custom, a '57 Corvette grill looks like a perfect fit! Overall, this is one of the nicest starts to a vintage racing project your going to get. Its extremely clean chassis is worth the starting price alone!
  That’s all I can think of at this moment, if you have any serious interest or questions that cannot be answered easily through e-mail feel free to call me at 765-635-9435 anytime between 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM eastern time. I am open to buy it now offers but be warned: I am not exactly desperate and know what I have here. I have a reserve and if that reserve is not met I will simply keep working on the car and keep raising the price accordingly. I am listing as is considering someone may like to choose their own color and options to finish the car the way they like. As far as payment is concerned there is a non-refundable deposit of $1000 non negotiable. I will accept cash in person or any form of money order that my bank will accept no questions asked. Basically, if I got green in my hand before you leave with the car we are good. Don't show up on a weekend and expect me to take anything other than cash. Ultimately before you bid or buy I would encourage you to come see the car in person. I am available anytime.

Just a reminder: In two days I have over 1000 views and almost 100 watchers on this auction.

So, your first bid should be your best bid to be sure you get the car of your dreams. You don't want to miss out on this great opportunity because 50 people bid the exact same amount at the same time!

Betreff: [KELLISON CARS] New Kellison owner - question about windshield and rear window

Hi all,
I just purchased a 1966 Kellison J5 coupe and planning on restoring it.
The first thing i have to do is buy a windshield and rear window.
After doing research on the windshield it should be from a 51-52 Studebaker. The rear window should be from a 1949 Buick Sedanette.
I have called several places and found one that is asking $1025 for both the windshield and rear window together. To me that seems high.
Also, before i order can anybody here verify that these part numbers are correct.
The Windshield is a DW45 and the rear window is a DB16.
Also we live in NY. Does anybody know of a place in NY i can order these from and maybe i can save the shipping charge.
Thank you for your help.
