Because Big Healey (100/6 my dream model) for sale for $29k and it is a BN6!!!! With hard top (Like seriously I want to sell it for this Healey)

I would seriously sell my GTO $20k (or there abouts) and the motorcycle to buy this.

*update*

Rreceived an email back the seller is not interested in trading for the GTO, but is the most honest CL seller I’ve ever seen. Sent a whole word document about his ownership of the car and 40 pictures of just all over of really good shots. And said, “the car is maybe a 6 or 7. Not perfect by any means but will drive you wherever you wanna go”

I am smitten. Please for the love of god buy my GTO so I can do ImmoralMinority levels of Big Healey spam posts.

I’ve seen exactly one of these in person, and even sitting still it looked like both an absolute nightmare and a complete hoot.

Super fun. You’ll want to retrofit some ductwork to keep your legs cool. They get hot.

The GTO I want, versus the GTO I can afford

Just add a zero at the end and you can buy mine. It even “off roads”

“big healey” sounds about as weird as “LWB Miata”, but yeah, this is really cool.

To be fair I’d only be swapping its guts into this;

It doesn’t need to be so nice. And zero-y.

keep that for your buy a jeep fund, cause you are gonna need it.

Even a 2000$ jeep is about 2000$ over priced.

But then you can get all the nice interior bits in there too and have a retro modern

The one at co-part is pretty nice inside. Airbags didn’t even deploy. But my plan is to hide all the modern bits underneath.

Plus there’s the nostalgia factor of having a properly shitty 70's GM interior.

There were tons of big Healeys at Le Mans Classic last weekend! I’m sure you would have lost your mind ;p

I’m sure this would make a good daily, what could possibly go wrong?

Well compared to small H ealey (Sprite)

You’d look swell in a GTO *wink wink*

I very much understand that

They're actually a decent size.

I think I would have literally dies from blood lost from my brain. ;)

They were daily drivers for people for a long time. Keep up maintenance etc it should have no issues.

I thought of you this weekend, while not a Healey,  there was a really nice MGA Coupe. Pretty much any time I see an old British car, I think of CaptDale anyway.

MGA’s are pretty cars.

Well thanks, it is nice to be thought of. I never see Cougars which is odd. I prefer them over the Mustang

Did you check to see if this person will trade for a GTO?

Rreceived an email back a few hours ago that he would not

Place down a deposit while you sell your gto?

I’d consider buying your GTO if I had 20k.

It'll prove you're serious (:

Yeah I know. I just don’t want to give him a deposit off of a prearranged offer for the Healey and then have selling the GTO fall short you know? 

KevlarRx7 > CaptDale - is secretly British 07/11/2018 at 11:51

Hmmm, it depends on how much time he'd be willing to give you I guess, you could see if he'd be willing to hold it under good faith token of a small deposit?

Yeah. There is no harm in asking

If they're not in a rush then they should go for it, a serious buyer is better than a possible quick sale.
