[Healeys] 100-6

[David Porter]

....well, I was a little bit over stating what today is rather obvious.
  It was "dry" storage in a lean to structure.. I did a pretty 
comprehensive inspection a few minutes ago.
OK, it is a candidate for restoration, but not by me... It's missing 
wheels, transmission,seats, windshield,boot lid, bumpers and assorted 
other stuff. I just don't see the justification of tying up a lot
of money to turn around and sell it.. I want a 100 project for me one day..
  The seller is throwing in a center shift/OD gearbox. One front out 
rigger has a touch of rust, the outer sills are toast. Trunk floor is 
solid and the floors are OK as far as I can see through the accumulated 
schmutz,.,. Still don't know if it has a title. It was hit pretty hard 
nearly head on. The left front frame member behind the control arm is 
puckered a little more than I recall being there. A easy frame pull 
regardless. Engine turns freely, though I couldn't detect any noticeable 
compression resistance or noises. It is a left hand bonnet prop and 
creased version.
  To make a long story short.. anyone want it before I tell the owner I 
don't have any use for it..
Thanks for all the inspirational notes and ghastly pictures..  ;~)
