Don’t mess with this Mopar…


When you think of a kickass hot rod, probably the last thing to cross your mind is a 1951 Henry J. After all, the little cars which were sold by Kaiser-Frazer Corporation were made to be ultra-economical, not to become speed demons. However, just like how the 1932 Fordwas used for its lightweight, highly customizable nature by hot rodders, this Henry J is the perfect platform for shoving a hard-hitting Hemi V8 under the hood and burning serious rubber.

Watch a barn find hot rod go for a drive for the first time in 60 years here.

Owned by a guy named Goose and shown off on AutotopiaLA, we’re just amazed at this build. It looks almost like a cartoon or a Hot Wheels with the big blower climbing out of the hood, especially with the House of Kolors Brandywine Kandy paint. But once the 392ci Hemi V8 fires up, anyone who’s ever been near a car of any kind will know this is one mean beast. A 3-inch exhaust with side exits in front of the rear wheels adds to the symphony.
