[Healeys] !00M on Ebay

[Randy Hicks]

Hi Alan & Kenny, yes, may things wrong with this car. Jerry Bensinger  
had it for sale in Jan. '08 also.

If you think the paint on the bulkhead is bad, take a look at the  
chassis shots attached (list will strip attachments) of this car.  
You'll see why this dealer doesn't show any chassis photos of the  
"Just finished 85,000 photo documented restoration".

I was told in Jan. the restoration was several years old and cost  
$85,000. 85,000 photos is a lot!  :-)
