[Healeys] bidding on ebay for a car

[Rich C]

Ira,

You made a point of noting the blue head. That is not a particularly 
original car. I'd agree it hasn't been far apart, but a lot of things have 
been messed with. That engine is not at all as original, nor is the fairly 
fresh blue cylinder head paint. A lot of plumbing has been messed with, 
wiring harness patched in a number of places, regulator replaced with 
something else, alternator, choke bracket upside down, engine bay's a mess.
Grille assembly has been pulled out and replaced wrong.
Interior is interesting. Somebody has pulled off all the console vinyl and 
padding. The seats look good and they're original. The rear fold down panel 
has been stuck in place upside down. Carpets all gone. Poor back window in 
the top is folded and crunched.
This could be a relatively easy restoration but, "the best unrestored Healey 
in California"????? I think not.

Rich
