Maybe the Henry J shame fetish is compounded by an exhibitionist thing.

Yes, it is. You should want a Sears Allstate instead.

I knew of the Henry J and always thought they were cool, but that the lack of a trunk lid would be a real downer. Now I learn of the Allstate, a Henry J complete with trunk lid!

This take is correct - everyone should want a Sears Allstate.

If I’m not mistaken, only the earliest Henry Js had no trunk lid.

It’s not wrong if it looks like this:

I wonder if you could fit an RX-7's drivetrain underneath - they’re similar in width ...

I know it’s crazy, but we’ve got to be hovering near the Willys Americar Inversion Line with Henry Js , where more examples of a car exist as gassers than clean drivers - which kind of makes me want one with just light mods more.

We're way beyond that, given the amount of Henry J hot rods now being built with fiberglass replica body shells.

Also, waxed paper for seat upholstery instead of vinyl or cloth.

95.5" wheelbase on the RX-7 vs. 100

Track width: ~57" vs. 54"

Henry J drivetrain:

RX-7 drivetrain:

I’m going with “almost certainly, and with very little effort”. Might need modding the tunnel slightly.

You’d likely even end up lighter than an RX-7. It would go like a bat out of hell.

Ah, okay.  I thought they were all lidless.
