Description of 1958 Austin Healey 100-6

Purchased last year from a neighbor after 31 years of trying. I was hoping I could get it running and drive it around and enjoy it "as is" , ut I have reluctantly decided that with an E-Type, MK 2, nd a TR250 I do not have time to get to this car. I am not real knowledgeable about Healeys but this is what I can tell you: This isan early 100-6, nd has been off the road since 1978. It moved to Oregon from California in 1979, ut has never been registered in Oregon, esiding on blocks in dry storage for the last 38 years. The previous owner started to restore the car but only got as far as taking a few things off (wheels, rill, arburators, adiator, tc.) before losing motivation.

Unlike so many of the unrestored cars you see these days, t doesn't look like someone walked around it whacking it with a baseball bat. The car is unusually straight. The doors, oot lid and bonnet fit nicely. The gaps all the way around look good-- I think as they left the factory. The doors don't sag, nd they open and close with a nice thunk. I can't see any significant sheet metal damage from being hit in either the front, r the rear. The floors look a little suspect to me—I would probably replace them and the sills—but what is amazing is I cannot find a single rust bubble anywhere on the rear fenders, n either of the doors, r on the front fenders. Spending 20 years in California, nd then almost 40 years in storage, ade a difference. After oiling the cylinders I put awrench on the damper bolt and it turned easily. The motor is free.

In addition to what you can see the car comes with the grill, op bows, convertible top that is useable, tonneau cover, he radiator & fan, spare tire, pair of side curtains, sed and new (in the box) brake parts, new (in the box) master cylinder, ew red rear lenses (and chrome rings), ew clear front lenses, nd new chrome headlight rings. The only thing I am aware is missing are the air cleaners. There may be something else, ut I can't think of what it might be.

The car rolls and steers easily. I willassist buyer/shipper in loading car for shipment.
