Does anyone live near or has a friend near Ventura, CA, who could check out this car?
Take a look at it on Ebay # 160185628452.
It looks like the real thing with 1 owner and only 36,900 miles. It even has a wide whitewall Dunlap spare.
Let me know what you think?
thanks - jim
 
Hi Jim, Very nice car in spite of the dealer's hype .Going to be spensive though.---Keoke
 
/bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/banana.gif I'm no expert but it certainly seems 'special.' Think it might cost lots of $'s. I've got it on my watch list as I am most curious. Seller is very detailed in his description so if you are thinking of bidding and can't see it in the flesh, I would bid on it just by reason of the detail. Good Luck.
 
I am a bidder, but currently the bidding has hit $27,600 - that is beyond the limits of my monthly budget. I certainly hope it finds a good home.

Well Hly106, there is another BN4 Blue on there but you have to do some work it is $15,000.00 cheaper at the moment. Can't say how good it is just passed it looking.---Keoke--
 
wow, that is something else. the underside is especially impressive. someone should photodocument it in detail. wonder if it was resprayed at some point?
 
Well Nevets, I really do not know. But most of those eastern cars have been properly undercoated at one time. My Blue/White BJ8 came from ILL and it scared me to death when I saw the undercoating. I spent considerable time scraping and washing the frame it is just like new. I think that might qualify as a good project car. Drive it while doing a rolling restoration.---Fwiw--Keoke
 
I just got the word, the seller has lowered the reserve, so if anyone wants to get in on the action, the car is still at $27,600 with less than 24 hours to go to a new home.
 
That car looks great and is in great condition for an unrestored car. I don't think it has overdrive though he doesn't mention that. I see no switch on the dash. There were some 100-6's sold that way with the disk wheels. The Healey is a lot nicer with an OD, though I think the non-od models had a lower numerical rear axle.

I think he is wise to lower the reserve, 27K seems like a reasonable price for this car, maybe a bit on the high side. This is from one who thinks the Healey market is well into bloated bubble terrirory.
 
Ok the sale is over with the high bid of 30,100 - but no sale.
Apparently the first 33,000 will get to drive it home.

Would you believe there will be another early 58 Healey coming soon with 80,000+ miles.
