[Healeys] Really?

[Bob Spidell]

Hmmmmmm ... something about this car. My BJ8's engine bay and underside look better at 170K than this one (and I don't own a gas station). Looks like there's undercoating; does Texas salt its roads (major corrosion on bottom of radiator)? No photo of rear underside--I would expect boot pan to be rusted through. Also, bad dogleg repair on R/H side--not mentioned in text. L/H front shock looks to be a real leaker. 

No proof, etc., but this car was probably a daily driver at some point and may have more than the (implied) 82K miles. Something fishy about " The original engine has 82k on it and sounds like a kitten. " Is the original engine in another car? 

I'd say with these doubts $30K is about right. The free market is working.

Is the collector car market so bad that this very original one-owner BJ8 
couldn't make the reserve: http://tinyurl.com/3wgg2hk
