Henry J Gasser

[69 Post Sedan]

I was just at a friends restoration shop today and looked at this Henry J. I think it's a 1952. I took pictures of it and will show later.

I seems to have a lot of history. Anyone here know of this car?

Here is my 1951 "garage find" Henry J gasser that I picked up back in 05 for $400. Has since been on the back burner.

When Al Pfeifer quit Drag Racing after he broke a axle flange and barrel rolled the Willy's back in August of 68....he sold the Hemi Engine/Trans,Rims and Tires from the Willy's to Vail for installation in the Henry J.....

The house i grew up in, the previous owner was a racer ,in St Louis, behind the house, he stored a Henry J gasser, it had a running driving 63 fulie motor that was still injected...on the side of the car in gold leaf it said HENRY-VETTA...car was black, straight axle etc, i was too young to remeber it, but all of my older friends talked about it all the time, and said it was a street terror....cops where at the house all the time, it had open zoomies....

Ken, those wheels and tires are still with the car...too bad the Hemi isn't.

If you look close you can see numbers on the plexiglas windows. There is a 742 on the back window and the front windshield. I find it hard to believe the car ran a 7.42.....Maybe???

Here is a copy of a magazine it was in.



Here is what it looked like when it was purchased last year. One hell of a 4X4...that's for sure!
