Saw this on Craigslist. I don't know much about Big Healeys other than they are hot and I want one bad (but don't have the $$$$$$). If someone on this forum is interested, I could go check it out for you tomorrow if you give me a detailed list of what to look for.

I don't know if this is a good deal or not, just thought I would let you guys know about just in case. :wink:
 
Hey Morris,
I agree this might be a scam but out of curiousity, call
this guy and see if you can come look at this BJ8. The spam
artists have moved their price from $9500 - that seemed to
be the favorite for some reason - to more realistic prices
but still way too low for a nice BJ8. If he was looking for
a quick sale at $40k for what looks like a restored car
would still be a great deal, but $25k, something fishy here.
If he really does have the car and the title to go with it,
let me know as I am sure all us old Healey guys will beat a
path to his door to grab a restored BJ8 for $25k. There
are several guys in the Austin Healey Club who live in
the Austin area so would not be a problem to have one of them
check it out.
Regards,
Mike
 
There's no phone number. Probably another jerk fishing for email addresses.

Sorry guys.
 
Knew it was way to good to be true ! But never hurts to confirm. As I mentioned above, looks like the scammers have gone from the $9500 price
to $25,000 "deal". Think how many potential victims this crud might snare.

I think I may have insulted the guy with a low ball bid.
(my wife saw the pictures of the car and she said I sould buy it and I agreed but I would never pay what the buyer is asking even if it was for $9500,00!!)
Hey, you gotta try!!
