Advice on BJ8 purchase

[TulsaFred]

Well, sadly I told the seller I'll not be buying the car. I sent an email and to his credit he promptly refunded my $2000 deposit.
I'm still not entirely sure this was the right decision, but when shelling out 42 large I need to feel more comfortable.

I'll keep looking. Really love the golden metallic beige, though.

This board is a great resource. I'll post some more cars as I see them and we can dissect 'em on here. Anyone with a lead on a good car let me know. I like the one is Astoria, but it's kind of far. I like the one in Austin, so if anyone is in that area and wants to check it out, that would be great.

You have made an excellent judgement here and will not regret it in the long run. Good luck, happy motoring is in your future.

This one might be a better starting point (it's an early P2 BJ8 with the single turn/driving lights):

Hey Bob,
that looks like a solid car.
too far for me though

The one in Austin still looks interesting:

Wonder what the reserve is?

There has to be a bored Healey guy near Austin wanting to check out a purdy car...
