Re: Found a 100 in a barn!
That looks like a 100-6 or 3000 to me, not a 100. But still a very nice find.
Those undiscovered cars are still out there, sitting in barns and garages all around the country. The NY Times reported recently on a very rare Bugatti coupe that had been stored complete and untouched in a garage in upstate NY since 1962. It is going to be auctioned off next month.
I hope that Healey finds a good home, it looks rather complete and not all that rusty -- though it is hard to tell from the picture.

Re: Found a 100 in a barn!
Yeah, sorry, it's a 100-6.
All sheet metal, floors, boot, frame straight and in need of minor cosmetic work. Only some small body work needed on front shroud. Top, top frame and tonneau cover are complete and restorable/ refurbishable. A few parts needed, but the motor and trany are complete and turn over. The wire wheels will probably need replacement.
This car has found a good home and it will be driven when finished, if not before /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

pbraun,
Nice find. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banana.gif
It looks like a 100-6... Is it 2 or 2+2 seats???
Just a query.. what is sitting next to it? The picture shows the back of something interesting... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/yesnod.gif

Cool, looks like 1962 or older. Whats the other car that looks to be backed up to the drivers door of the Healey?

Re: Found a 100 in a barn!
It's a 2+2 . 1960 Good spotting, Ron! I was wondering if anyone would comment on that! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
That's a later, double grill 356 Porsche Cabrio. I was really excited about that, when I heard it shared the barn with a Healey, until I saw it. Got no floors, lots of daylight showing through almost every panel, missing parts, motor junk. Consulted with a bunch of 356 nuts in my area and they all unanymously say to leave it there. So, we did. and took the Healey! It will be a relatively easy restoration, compared to the concours winner we finished 2 years ago.

pbraun,
To say that I am jealous is an understatement...
Will the color coded shovel be available for sale?? Always wanted an Austin Healey shovel.. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
The only 'barn finds I ever have are, well, finding a barn.../bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif
Good luck and happy restoring.

Actually, this one was just near water (a lake) not sitting in water! It was in a fairly sealed up, with a good floor, locked and secure garage! No climate control, but no rodents either!Johnny said:
After pics will be coming, along with in the works shots!

pbraun,
With a CONCOURS BJ7 under your belt... I know that you are well aware of the work involved. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbsup.gif
May I ask... quanto questa???
Since my A and the BN4 are getting close to being finished (a very realtive term) I have started to get that look... you know the one where you want to start abusing yourself all over again with a new project... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif
Soooo, trying to decide the method of my new abuse... 'nother A, maybe a coupe, tear my '66 B driver apart and restore it, maybe?!?!?
GAWD, I AM SICK.....HELP ME, HELP ME!!!! RUNNNNN, SAVE YOUSELF... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif

Peter,
When I said I was jealous I was not correct.
Now that I see the $1200 price tag, I am FAR, FAR, FAR, beyond jealous... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif
And thanks for the comment on the barn...If I buy it, I am planning on painting it BRG with black interior... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
