This Corsair-style two-door sedan was built by the seller as part of a multi-year project from 2012 to 2014 using the drivetrain, suspension, and interior components of a 1987 Ford Mustang donor chassis with body panels from a 1952 Henry J. The car is finished in black and silver over black cloth and vinyl upholstery and is powered by a fuel-injected 302ci High-Output V8 paired with a four-speed AOD automatic transmission. Further equipment includes a dual exhaust system, rack-and-pinion steering, front disc brakes, and 17″ SN95 Mustang GT wheels along with air conditioning, cruise control, an aftermarket stereo, and power windows. Previously listed on BaT in February 2024, this Henry J–style custom is now offered at no reserve with an information plaque, modification photos, and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

The body of the Henry J was stripped and the floor and firewall were cut out during the build. The unibody chassis of the 1987 Ford Mustang was modified to accommodate the Corsair body. Custom valances were added and sheetmetal was welded in to merge the body and chassis before a repaint in black with silver lower bodywork. The Henry J badging and door handles have been shaved, and Cobra badges have been added to the fenders. Further details include a split windshield, body-color side mirror housings, and integrated tail fins. The seller notes that clear paint-protection film has been applied to the forward-facing surfaces of the body.

Silver-finished 17″ SN95 Mustang GT wheels with Mustang center caps are mounted with 215/55 Pirelli P Zero Nero tires. A five-lug conversion has been performed, and the car is equipped with power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.

The interior from the Mustang has been retained and is accompanied by front bucket seats and a split rear bench trimmed in black cloth with color-matched vinyl bolsters. Air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows are fitted, and a Sony stereo with Bluetooth connectivity is linked with a Rockford Fosgate amplifier, subwoofer, and speakers mounted within a custom box in the rear cargo area.

The two-spoke steering wheel incorporates controls for the cruise control system and wears a Ford horn button. Instrumentation consists of a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline along with a 140-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 32k chassis miles, approximately 10k of which have been added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 302ci High-Output V8 is equipped with sequential electronic fuel injection and is fitted with a Spectre intake pipe along with shorty headers.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed AOD automatic transmission and an 8.8″ rear axle housing a limited-slip differential with 2.73:1 gears. The dual exhaust system features a crossover pipe along with Flowmaster mufflers.

Photos taken at various stages of the work are presented at the end of the gallery.

The car is titled as a 1952 Henry using the Arizona-assigned identification number AZ299198 shown above.

This ’41 Willys coupe street rod was commissioned by the seller and assembled by Custom Motors of Jerseyville, Illinois, in 2005 utilizing a fiberglass reproduction body mounted to a custom-fabricated frame. Finished in red with flame graphics, the car is powered by a 383ci stroker V8 mated to a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9” rear end with a limited-slip differential. The chassis features four-wheel disc brakes, an independent front suspension with power-assisted steering, and a four-link rear setup with Ridetech adjustable coilovers. Tan Procar seats have been fitted to the custom interior, which offers air conditioning, power windows, a B&M gear selector, Dolphin instrumentation, and a JVC head unit and CD changer. Other equipment includes a Holley 650-cfm carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, a PerTronix electronic ignition system, ceramic-coated exhaust headers, and staggered-width WELD Prostar 15” wheels. This Willys street rod is now offered with a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.

The fiberglass body was sourced from Heritage Hot Rods of Macungie, Pennsylvania, and an Outlaw Performance hood was added and the rear fenders were widened by 2” before the car was finished in Viper Red, according to the seller. Flame graphics and black pinstriping were added, and the rear-hinged doors are equipped with electric poppers and emergency releases behind the rocker panels. The recessed license plate box houses a chrome frame that serves as a lift handle for the trunk lid. The headlights feature integrated turn signals and parking lights, and they were sourced from Outlaw Performance along with the chrome grille.

The car rides on a custom-fabricated frame that incorporates independent front suspension components sourced from a Chevrolet S-10. Additional features include:

• 2”-drop front spindles with Ridetech adjustable shocks
• Triangulated four-link rear setup with Ridetech adjustable coilovers
• Power-assisted recirculating-ball steering
• Four-wheel disc brakes with emergency brake
• WELD Prostar 15×8” front and 15×12” rear wheels with faux spinners
• 195/65 Mastercraft MC440 front tires
• 29×12.5” Hoosier radial rear tires

The cabin features Procar bucket seats trimmed in tan with a color-coordinated headliner and door panels. Red carpets complement the body-color dashboard, and the power windows and electric windshield wipers were sourced from Specialty Power Windows. Additional appointments include a Southern Air climate control system, a B&M gear selector, polished trim, and a JVC AM/FM/cassette stereo connected to a trunk-mounted CD changer.

The split-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in tan leather and is mounted to a chrome Ididit tilting column. Dolphin instrumentation consists of a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and alternator output. The six-digit odometer shows 19k miles.

The 383ci stroker V8 engine is equipped with roller rockers, finned valve covers, a PerTronix electronic ignition system, an aluminum radiator, ceramic-coated exhaust headers, and chrome accessories. Induction is through a polished Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold topped with a Holley 650-cfm carburetor and a Hillborn-style air scoop.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 700R6 four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9” rear end with a limited-slip differential, 3.50:1 gearing, and Moser axle shafts. The air conditioning condenser is mounted behind the rear axle and is cooled by an electric puller fan.

This custom vehicle was inspired by the Drag-U-La coffin car featured in a 1965 episode of the television series The Munsters. Constructed by a Long Island, New York, owner between 2008 and 2010, the car rides on a custom box-frame chassis and for bodywork features an 8’ fiberglass casket modified to house a driver’s seat behind the rear axle. Power is from a carbureted Chevy small-block V8 backed by a TH350 automatic transmission and a Ford 9” rear end. Additional highlights of the build include bronze-finished Race Star front wheels, front disc brakes, wide rear wheels wrapped in racing slicks, organ-style vertical exhaust pipes, lantern-style lighting, and wave-pattern velvet-style upholstery. This casket car was purchased by the selling dealer three months ago and is now offered with New York registration and a collection of over 50 awards and trophies.

The original Drag-U-La custom was designed by George Barris of Barris Kustoms for The Munsters episode “Hot Rod Herman,” in which Grandpa Munster constructs the drag car in an effort to win back the family’s Munster Koach that was lost by Herman Munster on a bet earlier in the episode. This creation’s layout borrows the Drag-U-La’s casket-bodied configuration, utilizing a modified casket mounted on the rear portion of a steel frame. Funereal design cues can be seen throughout the build.

The fiberglass casket is finished in a copper shade and is flanked by full-length gold-painted handles and escutcheons, while black-painted double-basket balusters are mounted horizontally at front and rear. The nose segment of the gold-painted frame hosts a fuel tank, a tombstone accent, and lantern-style headlights, while red lantern taillights and a black padded bumper are fitted at the rear of the casket. Ascending-height organ-style vertical exhaust pipes exit along each side of the casket, which incorporates a mesh front grille opening and three lid segments hinged at the front, side, and rear, respectively. The rear lid features the signature of Munsters actor Butch Patrick.

The big-and-little wheel setup combines 15” rear wheels wrapped in 32.0/13.5 Hoosier slicks and bronze-finished 15” Race Star front wheels wearing 165-width Widetrack Radial tires. The latter were reportedly fitted in preparation for the sale. Stopping is handled by hydraulic brakes with a proportioning valve distributing pressure to Wildwood discs up front and drums at the rear.

The driver’s compartment is positioned at the rear of the casket with the axle assembly passing under-knee, and blue wave-pattern velvet-style upholstery covers the single seat and side panels. Gold-color ornamental rope accents the dash and side panels as well as the perimeter of hinged lid, the latter of which is lined in purple wave-pattern upholstery and features a low-profile tinted windscreen panel.

A Momo steering yoke sits ahead of a marble-look dash panel that hosts Sunpro instrumentation including an 8k-rpm tachometer and gauges monitoring coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The car is not equipped with an odometer, and total mileage is unknown. Areas of the dash covering have separated from the bottom of the panel.

The Chevrolet small-block V8 is positioned rearward of the chassis center and features a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and ribbed valve covers secured by wing-style bolts. Fluid changes and a carburetor adjustment were performed in preparation for the sale.

The GM TH350 automatic transmission is finished in gold with painted rose accents and sends power to the rear wheels via a Ford 9” rear end. Front suspension incorporates a transverse leaf spring and hairpin radius rods.

Images from the car’s construction are included in the photo gallery below.

The car is accompanied by a collection of trophies and plaques won by the car at various events under previous ownership.
