There are some nice components in that car... seems the sum assembled total of the parts are probably worth 5% of the parts individually. FYI that's a BN4. You can tell by the left hand door... it's unique to the BN4s.

A different perspective on this.

Cutting up Healeys in the late 60s and making hot rods was apparently pretty popular in So Cal. (Ask Dave and Keoke)

Keep in mind that one could get a Healey with a blown motor for about 200$ from the wrecking yards.

Now that the prices are going back up, cars are coming out of barns with V8s and going back on the road as original.

Also keep in mind cars like the Healey Works cars that were purchased by John Gott, Syd Segal after the Works Racing Team was shut down and converted into Class Racers in England. If you know these cars then you know they have 8 inch fender flares and many, many non-purist mods. And the mods were done by the WORKS guys through the early and mid 70s. Only two still exist, one in England and one in Oregon.

These were really tired cars and would have probably ended up in the arc furnace if they were not rescued by someone who had a purpose for them.

To go one more extreame. There are still a handful of missing 100S cars. I know of one that was beat up racing, had a V8 conversion, was wrapped around a tree and is now missing. It was probably written off and crushed. At least the drag car on eBay is still alive is some form.

Hind sight is 20 20. If one would have bought a half dozen Cobras, Shelbys and 100s when they could be had for 5000 bucks, then one would be rich.

By the way, the drag car is pretty hidious, and a shame.
