I am tempted. It is rusty I know, but how bad? it does not have a title, just a bill of sale. But at the price it may be the only Big Healey I will ever be able to afford. I can do the the body work, but a rusted out frame probably would rule out this car. Can anyone look at the car for me? Is a non title car in California even worth the effort?

These look like typical cars bought from a "Pick yer part" salvage yard, after they've been picked over. I don't see how you could flip the other two out of the picture and be in to the Healey for a couple grand so what's the point? Thats a lot of work and some of the parts that its missing are getting hard to find just like with all the Healeys. You're not going to just walk into the DMV with a bill of sale and a picture and be happy when you leave either. You did want " cynical" right? Kevin

100% agree with Kevin. The part about the 3 cars or nothing is also suspicious.

Wonder what a driver BN4 would go for these days.

PS - buying a car then restoring it is more expensive than buying one that already runs.
