[Healeys] selling a Healey on E bay

[F Ronald Rader]

thanks to all.
new plan:
I am putting in the shop to have the undercarriage detailed and photographed.
i will put it on EBay and if I do not get the result that i want I
will place it with Russo and Steele.
i spooking to Gooding today and they would love the car but will only
do now reserve under $100,000

their way of saying we really don't like to bother with those cheap cars.
updates to follow.

on Ebay will be pretty difficult at $70K if the main selling point is that it
is a 95+ point Concours winner.
