This Kellison J-6 is believed to be from 1956 or 1957, and by the looks of things, it’s never been finished. Fiberglass will need some repair, especially around the nose, but even though the car will take lots of work to finish, there’s certainly potential. Sitting loosely atop an early C1 chassis, it’s been setup for an early Cadillac OHV V8 and LaSalle trans combo, though neither engine nor gearbox are included. Likewise, there’s no interior, no floors, and no windshield, but none of these issues are insurmountable. Find it here on eBay in Santa Clarita, California with bidding at $2.25 and reserve not met at the time of writing. Special thanks to BaT reader Rocky L. for this submission.

Kellison built some of the best looking fiberglass kits of the era, and many have compared them to life-size Hotwheels cars. The highest point of the roof should be around 40″ from the ground, and though this one has a pretty nasty nose wound, the remainder of fiberglass looks pretty good. The seller has owned it in this condition for around 10 years, and we’re not convinced it’s ever been a fully-finished automobile.

Here’s a look inside. Note the low seats integrated into the bodywork, as well as the large number of gauges someone had planned for the finished build.

The frame looks to be in decent shape, but it’s impossible to be sure without checking for corrosion or geometry issues. The ad says that it’s been setup for a 331, 365, or 390 cubic inch Cadillac and LaSalle trans, the latter of which would probably be a 3-speed.

We like the idea of the old Caddy mill, but a T-5 would be a nice and pretty much invisible upgrade. Add in four-wheel discs and incognito electronic ignition (and maybe even well-concealed A/C), keep the cosmetics clean and period-correct, and this could be a very special car. It’s got a long road to get there, but it’d be a shame for it to sit around unfinished for another 60 years.
