Did anyone notice a custom Austin-Healey cross the block? Was told by a friend that a nice one sold and thought it was made by Classic, but wasn't sure. He said the announcers couldn't figure out why you would want to customize an original Healey, but it was a replica. Know anything about it?

Thanks,
Tim

One of my friends just sold his dad's Austin Healy after he died. The car sat in his garage for the past 35+ years. I have been friends with this guy since we were in elementary school, and I am now 43. The car never moved in all that time. He sold it as is for 25K not running but very straight. I don't now a whole lot about these cars, but his dad would talk for hours about how great it was when it was running. What are these things worth now?
