[Healeys] Guy Looking for a Healey

I got the same eMail AND a phone call from the Paul guy in Calif. Claimed he got my name from the British Car Club. Told him my car was not for sale so I put him on to Beverly Hills Car Club and Gullwing Motors. Never heard back from him. (I suspect he may be working for them anyway...) Seems like a year or so ago this same series of inquiries came thru the list.
Not sure how I got bounced off the list after 8+ years but maybe this will get me back on it...
Regards,
Richard of KY

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Stripped Bolt
Thanks to all. Heli-coil sounds like the way to go. I should have stated that the bolt is for a tow hook eye. Sorry if I got some scratching their heads!

My advise is get a good thread repair kit (heli-coil, time sert, etc) and repair the hole, no need to weld it first.Rick

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Stripped Bolt
Heavens. Isn’t that another question raised? Are our chassis strong enough to tow or be towed? I guess there’s a steel plate involved somewhere? My MkII’s chassis looks pretty good – I believe - but I wonder if it’s as strong as it once was.I just have visions of the Healey standing still and the bolt being towed out of the chassis.Simon From: Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of R.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Stripped Bolt
Actually Price there is probably an easier solution.
The thread is in a tube which has a thread cut in each end and an unthreaded section between the threads.
I would suggest tapping the tube a little deeper and using a longer bolt.

Subject: [Healeys] Anyone know either one of these guys?
Anyone know this guy Mark Jensen? He said that he was referred to me by Ronald Durham. The problem is I don’t think I know Ronald. No matter, this guy says he’s in CA and looking for a car. Makes no sense he starts a search with a guy in NH, but if anyone wants to help him, feel free… Mike B59 BT7 From: Mark Jensen [mailto:mark.mc.jensen at gmail.com]

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Anyone know either one of these guys?
This is a recurring theme. My father sold a '40 Ford pickup he had lovingly restored to original--having hot-rodded it out in his youth--to a guy who all but swore he would cherish it for himself. The guy turned around and sold the truck almost immediately for a tidy profit. Another time, Dad sold a '46 Ford coupe (sedan?) to a guy who said he was going to restore it. A couple years later the guy had the audacity to bring the car by to show it off; he had hot-rodded it and painted it yellow (not Primrose ;). Made Dad almost sick. These happened years ago; with the popularity of shows like 'Fast and Loud,' 'Car Chasers,' etc. it seems more and more people will be into the 'flipping' business. It's a legitimate business (though you have to wonder with all the 'cash' changing hands if taxes are being paid). But, it kind of rankles me because even though most of them are car-savvy all they can see is a pile of money on four wheels.
OTOH, Dad sold a cherry '34 Ford coupe he had restored to a guy who put the finishing touches on the resto and made it a show-winner. But, I won't be surprised if, sooner or later, the car ends up with a Chip Foose wannabe who rods it out.
Moral of the story: If you have a car to sell, sell it to the highest bidder. The guy who claims to want an Austin-Healey because his dad/grandfather/uncle had one might be lying (there's some awfully good liars out there).

Hello Mike,

I am looking for a classic British car, a 50's or 60's Big Healey, i will apreciate your help and advice.
I look forward to hearing from you.
