BARN FIND HENNEY KILOWATT ELECTRIC CAR — ONE OF ONLY 47 BUILT

Rare Henney Kilowatt electric car — major restoration project

Up for sale is an extremely rare Henney Kilowatt electric car, believed to be one of only 47 produced.

The Henney Kilowatt was an early electric automobile built using a Renault Dauphine body shell, modified with an electric drivetrain. These cars are an important part of early electric-vehicle history and are exceptionally uncommon today.

THE CAR

This particular car was found in a barn outside of Detroit, Michigan. Unfortunately, there is no known history or documentation accompanying the car from before I acquired it.

The car is currently a roller and is not operational. It will require a complete restoration.

It has been sitting for many years and is very dirty and rough from storage. There are missing parts, and sections of the floor have deteriorated and rotted away. The tires do not all hold air.

The windshield has holes and cracks. Used replacement front and rear windshields are included with the car.

I do not know the complete history of the car or what modifications, repairs, or changes may have been made during its life after it was originally built. The photos are an important part of the description, so please look them over carefully.

TITLE / VIN

The car has a clear Indiana title in my name.

The Indiana title identifies it as:

Year: 1962
Make: Unknown
Model: Unknown
VIN: R10902961538

The car previously had the Henney Kilowatt name on its title, but Indiana would not retain that description when I transferred the title into my name.

RESTORATION PROJECT

This is not a running or driving car and should be considered a complete restoration/project vehicle.

It would be an excellent candidate for someone interested in:

  • Early electric-vehicle history

  • Henney Kilowatt automobiles

  • Renault Dauphine-based vehicles

  • Automotive history and preservation

  • Electric-vehicle collecting

  • A very unusual restoration

Cars like this are rarely offered for sale, especially as restoration projects.
