Wish I had the extra $$$$ for that, love the color combination.

Here in Portland Oregon, Matt Crandall of the Advant Garde Collection specializes in listing cars on Bring a Trailer. You might want to contact him to see if he can help you get top dollar or refer you to someone closer. https://www.a-gc.com/

Wow, Von, what a great car. I think you have it priced very fairly.

Love the Healey's. My first car was 1 1959 Austin Healy Bug-Eyed Sprite I bought in San Francisco back in 1966 for $500.oo! Loved it.

While stationed at Scott AFB in Bellville, Il my roommate drove a 1967 Austin Healy 3000 MK II. I was driving a 1967 Triumph TR-4A IRS. We would swap all the time, but what I loved most about the 3000 was the electric overdrive. A flick of the switch and it was wonderful.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1567684476.jpg

Like I said, a little light on price but well done for a quick sale.

Where you moving to Von ? I noticed some stuff on CL that could only be yours.

Congratulations on the sale.

Any of you folks on this thread have insight to the actual selling price of the 100-6 era Healeys?

Attempting to sell a friends 58 100-6 BN6(that's a 2 seat) and it's RHD. About 5000 miles on a 15 year old body overhaul. Very very nice driver grade car. No local buyers at all, but then it isn't a trophy truck or a mustang, or something with an enormous ipad on the dash. I really wonder if any of the advertisements I see for $50K, 60K, or 80K cars ever sell.

Here is what BringATrailer.com has to say: https://bringatrailer.com/austin-healey/100-6/

I’m quite near the threshold of what the owner will accept (I think) at $44,000 cdn or about $34,000 US so he may just end up holding onto it. But at age 86 (37 years of ownership) he is being realistic that it’s impractical to keep it much longer.

Our price seems to be in the range of the BaT cars, of course it’s not on BaT, and there’s a border in the way of potential buyers. Advertised in several spots and received two inquiries over three months. Seems like there is little appetite for this thing.

After looking at what they are going for on BAT, it looks like the prices are dropping since I sold my 59' non-runner.

I see threads like this and it makes me wish I bought the place on a half acre that a previous owner had added a large 2 car garage with covered RV parking next to it. instead of the quarter acre with the mature tangerine tree. I think if I take the rubber bumper things off the 914 it will fit nose to tail with the Miata
