Test Drive 1953 Henry J "Gasser" SOLD $15,900 Maple Motors

[@Fbarts]

Yeah this car put a smile on my face! Gasssser!

[@MossTheJockey]

Nice chassis work

[@CruisinClassicsinc]

We remember this car! It was local to us in Columbus, OH. New owner will have fun with this one :)

[@georgefallesen3425]

Great maple motors video!

[@stumacher4675]

I found this car for sale last night in Batavia, Ohio. The guy is asking like 27k for it now.

[@fredbell4544]

I have to retract my comment earlier . It is not a 51 . They welded in the tail lights on the fins . And 51 didn't have a trunk deck lid. Absolutely a cool ride .

[@markmclendon8621]

purely practical...... the cockpit sound deadening was perfect.....hey it idles nice ....hey it has brakes

[@billlittlejohn2331]

Now that is a hot rod! From inside the engine sounds great! I use to run a 63 Nova. Similar but not a gasser.

[@SIXX2772]

OH, THIS MADE MY MORNING MAN! LOL...by the way, every time I wear the shirt you gave me through Jessica, I get asked if I work there at least once lol..Thanks again.

[@puddy7791]

Wow! Looked like you really had your hands full with this one. Seemed to be a lot of play in that steering wheel. Glad that throttle didn't stick and you made it back safely.

[@jeremycolston8383]

You don’t see any old Henry J’s. That is so cool.

[@peterbellwood5412]

Hi , Nick . I hope you don't mind me commenting ? I got bad doo-doo from one 'guy' for daring to contribute my 65 years of true passion of hot rods , customs and drag-racing machinery , on somebody else's site ! Thank you so much . I enjoyed every moment of this . I felt I was riding along with you . As you said ," what a blast ! " I'm going to have to dig out a few Hot Wheels 'Jaded' , and build them as proper sky-high gassers like yours . Their 'stance' ( oooh 😟) is way down in the weeds , and probably far more efficient at speed . However , most 'traditions' are way cooler to me . Helps with weight distribution at the launch , right ? Loved it . Cheers from Pete in UK 🤓

[@retrogaming8647]

Now THAT would be fun to drive.

Definitely a very nostalgic car. I don’t know how safe it is to drive but would be a great museum piece or great addition to a car collection.

Ohio George signature on firewall .... Famous drag racer in the Gasser class wars during the 1960s.. Campaigned a 33 Willys among others.. Bet your dad has a Hot Wheel of his 33" Ohio George Montgomery.

[@raymondblasee1048]

Love that gasser 53! I would like to have that car despite the rust and bumpy ride, its a dragstrip gasser that is STREETABLE . I don't mind the open headers, I'm hard of hearing!!! That car must really come from CINCINNATI Ohio as the doors state since there is Ohio George autograph on the firewall. George is the famous gasser racer from the 60s with his 427 SOHC 33 Willys. He hails from Dayton Ohio which is close to Cincinnati

[@chrishensley6745]

You could tell whoever done it underneath knew the good parts and was neat where it counts.350,400 turbo,12 bolt.

[@kevinmurphy9982]

The speed bump is BACK for this one Nick...lol

[@nicksothep8472]

What a cool little brutal machine! A true flying coffin ⚰! 😅 Gassers are so cool, I'll never fully believe they were built this way because they would go faster, I'm pretty sure the first person to build one, did because he thought it was bonkers! Then sure, maybe technology at the time made it so that by pushing the engine as far back as possible, tried and true method, coupled with the weird suspension set up, you could skim a few tenths at the starting line, but who knows really? Anyhow, I love how rough and basic this thing is, it sounds raspy as fk, and it rips! It's so loud and vibrates so much that doing 60 probably feels like 180!!😅 I really want one one day, this would have been perfect, specially at that price, a real steal! Thanks for sharing and making us dream a little.. 👌🏻🖤🏴‍☠️

[@johnwilkerson2195]

I've said it before if I had the money I'll be buying cars from you weekly if not daily.

[@timmywaddell4623]

I always think it’s a good idea to have the battery right next to the fuel cell 🤔

[@augustharlacher5660]

Them good old boys don't know any better!!!! they put all that money in a body that's ready to fall off the chassis!!!! probably welded with coat hangers!!!

[@abolishwelfare]

That’s where it’s located in most drag cars. The battery in this car is in a battery box specifically designed for this application.

[@alexgourley6781]

That’s a badass looking car

[@danieljohnson9351]

OMG! I guess the law enforcement people in your area know you and give you a pass. Around here I would get pulled over daily driving that thing! But it is so COOL! Who needs a horn? If you can't hear that thing coming you couldn't hear a horn either. The flaws just give it character! No problem clearing the chassis cam either!

[@ROTTBOXX]

Now that is kick a**!

[@fredbell4544]

It's actually a 51 judgeing by the tail lights one year only . 52 and 53 were on the finn.
