Keith,
I have to agree with you completely, my father purchased our Healey when
I was twelve years old as a project that we could do together over time.
That was over 30 years ago and I consider the car priceless. We are
about 90% complete and the life lessons learned were also priceless. I
look at the auction for what it was, entertainment. The auctioneers
want the excitement and controversy; it gets people to bid more for the
cars. I only hope that I can create that same interest in my son for
the car and hope that he will enjoy it for another lifetime. Now if I
can just find a 67' Camaro SS/RS in some old barn to restore for my
daughter.

I agree that the interest in Value is fascinating... My Healey 100/4
...
isn't concours, it's just my car with absolutely 0 value because its not
for
sale... least not in my life time... it's the project I finished as a
23yr
old kid who just had to have a car he couldn't affort... (who figured
out
how to get what he wanted ) The life lessons I have learned from this
car
have served me well....
The whole point of Value is something I'll let my kids figure out or
thier
kids.... whoever in this line doesn't appreciate that there was once a
guy
who loved this thing that wouldn't take Money for it... because money is
disposable and my Healey isn't
The Bugeye that belonged to the ex-wife... well that's another story...
LOL
Keith.
