In my opinion. Not even close to being worth $2000. BoB G

Strange as it may seem this car actually is a suitable candidate for a total restoration.. It's in as good a shape as my AH was when I started. Even better if you consider the hardtop. Of course it needs everything but so what? You start with a Jule frame, rebuild the motor, etc etc. And when your done you'll have a nice car.

Sorry, I'm always so slow to respond. After all it took me 12 years to complete my Healey.
No, I don't have a Jule frame, but if I wanted to restore another Healey similar to the one I now own, or one that resembles the one on Ebay I would start with a Jule frame and chassis. Also, I don't agree that the cost would be $40-60 G's unless you have professional's do all the work.

At this point the bidding is up to $5225 and there've been 20 different bidders.

They're buying a project and a few years' effort, and an opportunity to spend some more money.

I'm rebuilding one, very slowly; and hope to have a nice car eventually, for rather less than I could afford to pay someone else to do the work, or to buy outright, all at once....

 

[ThomP]

$5225.00!!! Not my hard earned cash!!

I wish the new owner all the best. Perhaps, he'll come here and "We" can help him restore it!

My guess is the money will never change hands and we will see the car offered again. Bob G
